If you do not agree with the content of this Privacy Policy, please do not use this Site. As our services evolve and we perceive the need or desirability of using information collected in other ways, we may from time to time amend this Privacy Policy.

TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED BY VUSION
Vusion collects two types of information from visitors to the Site, non-personal information and personal information. Non-personal information is information that does not, by itself, identify the visitor as a specific individual. For example, non-personal information includes demographic information such as age, gender, as well as information about our visitors such as the number of visits to the Site and the pages visited while on the Site.
Personal information, is information that identifies a visitor to the site, or which includes contact information. Examples of personal information are name, address, phone number and e-mail address. By providing Vusion with personal information via the Site, you expressly agree to its collection and use as described in this Privacy Policy.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Visitors may access the Vusion website while remaining anonymous and without revealing any personal information. Vusion may collect information during your visit to the Site through our automatic data collection tools, which may include Web beacons, cookies, embedded Web links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our website such as your browser type and language, access times, and the address of the website from which you arrived at a Vusion website. They may also collect information about your Internet Protocol (IP) address, clickstream behavior (i.e. the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take in connection with Vusion websites) and product information.
A "cookie" is a small piece of data stored on a user's browser, and contains non-personally identifiable information about the user. When you visit the website, Vusion may place a "cookie" in order to improve your experience by recognizing you when you visit the website and in order to allow the company to optimize the information presented based on your demonstrated areas of interest. Cookies may also be used to compile information about website usage. This information can be used to enhance the content of the website and make your experience more informative. If you subsequently provide us with personal information such as your email address, we will associate any cookies on your browser with that information such that you will no longer be an anonymous visitor to the site. If you've set your browser to reject cookies, you can still use this website, but you may need to re-enter information that would normally be obtained from the cookie (for example, your email address). You can also set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies. If you do, you will receive a warning message each time the website attempts to place a cookie on your hard drive.
“Web beacons” are small pieces of data that are embedded in web pages and e-mails. Vusion may use these technical methods in HTML e-mails that Vusion sends to you to determine whether you have opened those e-mails and/or clicked on links in those e-mails. The information from use of these technical methods may be collected in a form that is personal information.
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you begin services with an Internet services provider. Each time you access the Site and each time you request one of the Site’s pages, the server logs your IP address.
Occasionally, and in order to provide relevant, desired information concerning products or services, Vusion may request personal information from you.

Vusion does share non-personal information from which individuals cannot be identified and which do not relate to individuals in aggregate form with third parties for business purposes, such as consultants and advisors to the company. Vusion will not disclose personal information to any third parties without your consent except in the following very limited circumstances.
Vusion shares information with trusted agents who provide specific services you have requested and/or administer information offered at the Vusion website, for example, service providers who help manage, track and respond to customer inquiries, information requests, etc. Vusion may also share information with authorized resellers and integration partners, who may be better suited to reply directly in response to your specific inquiries about Vusion products and services.

These parties do not use or otherwise disclose any information except as authorized agents for the purpose of providing the products and services that you have requested or administering the activities on Vusion’s behalf, or participating in joint marketing initiatives with Vusion. Any company that Vusion shares personally identifiable information with will have executed a confidentiality agreement, requiring that they keep all data received confidential.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering materials, sending postal mail, processing registrations or sending emails. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Vusion will disclose your personal information to a third party if required to do so by law or if, in good faith, Vusion believes that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or with legal process; (2) protect and defend the company’s rights and property or prevent fraud; (3) protect the company against abuse, misuse or unauthorized use of Vusion's products or services; or (4) protect the personal safety or property of personnel, users or the public (among other things, this means that if you provide false or deceptive registration information or attempt to pose as someone else, information about you including your computer's IP address - may be disclosed to a third party (including the recipient of an email) as part of any type of investigation into your actions.
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you are using your browser on the Internet. The servers that serve the Vusion website automatically identify a computer by its IP address. If Vusion, in good faith, determines that you have used the service to menace, threaten, harass, intimidate or otherwise deceptively pose as another person, your actions will be investigated and your IP address may be disclosed to the recipient of any email, their legal counsel or representatives, and law enforcement officials as part of such an investigation.
Vusion may transfer its database, including personal information contained therein, to a third party who acquires all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Vusion whether by merger, acquisition, reorganization or otherwise.
