Transformer Software Ltd. (“Transformer”) owns and runs Transformer's designated
Setrue Patents website (the “Website”). The
www.setrue.com
and
patents.setrue.com sites are property of
Transformer. We respect the privacy of our users. This document explains how we
shall use the information that you provide to us via the Website. We may
occasionally update this privacy policy. We encourage you to periodically review
this privacy policy so that you stay informed about how we are protecting the
Personal Information we collect. Your continued use of this Web site constitutes
your agreement to this privacy policy and any updates. |

Transformer is the sole owner of the information collected on the Website. We
will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from
what is disclosed in this agreement. Some sections of the Website require
registration prior to access. Depending on what services or features you
request, we may require specific personal and contact information. This
information is used to provide you with enhanced features and services, and if
necessary, to contact you only regarding services you may have ordered and for
authentication for access to sections of the Website that require login or
password access. |

|
The Information We Collect |
|
|
|
|
|
We collect some personal information (e.g. name, address, e-mail address) on each of our users as part of the registration process. This information may be used to communicate with our users about changes, new features and services, etc. In addition, we may aggregate personal information into demographic data about our users to enable us to provide enhanced and more relevant services to our users. |
|
|
We also collect information for each user to support customer billing and invoicing. The Website was designed to provide anonymity for all searches. We will not examine search strings submitted by our users for any reason. We keep records of e-mails and telephone calls to our customer service. We do this to ensure resolving the problems and issues you bring to our attention promptly and correctly. |
|
|
|
|
|
Usages of the Information We Collect |
|
|
We use your information only for the on-going operation of the Website, and for facilitating billing for you. Personal user information is used only for registration, billing, log-in and order tracking. We do not make your information available to any third parties. |
|
|
|
|
|
We may use your IP address to help troubleshoot problems with our servers. Your IP address may also be used to gather general demographic information about our user population, so we can enhance the operation of the Website. We maintain user log information long enough to enable generating an invoice or charge for chargeable services. |
|
|
|
|
|
Securing your data |
|
|
We use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online. We have
implemented commercially reasonable measures designed to secure your personal
information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration
or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will
never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for
improper purposes. All of our users’ information, including sensitive personal
information, is restricted in our offices or in secured data-centers we use.
Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted
access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password
access to login to our company network. The servers that we store personally
identifiable information on are kept in a physically secure environment. |
|
|
The Website contains information from, and links to, other web sites. While we
make every effort to ensure that these websites offer high-quality information,
Transformer cannot be responsible for the privacy practices or the content of
these other web sites. |
