1. What personally identifiable information is collected through the Software Revenue Recognition Guide web site?
We collect personally identifiable information consisting of basic contact information such as your name, title, company, and e-mail address. The Software Revenue Recognition Guide also allows you to add your own highlights, annotations and bookmarks to documents you view.
2. Are Cookies or Log Files used?
A Cookie refers to data that is stored on your hard drive to enable the Software Revenue Recognition Guide to customise services to your interests. The Software Revenue Recognition Guide web site only uses one session cookie, which stores a session number that allows the server to identify you. Your browser automatically deletes this cookie each time it is closed, so no information is permanently stored on your computer.
We also use log files to help manage the Software Revenue Recognition Guide web site. Log files tell the Software Revenue Recognition Guide the domain from where a user originates, so we can track a licensee's general usage and detect attempts at unauthorized access to the Software Revenue Recognition Guide web site.
3. How is personal information used?
We collect information only for the purpose of providing services and mailings to our Software Revenue Recognition Guide subscribers. We will not send unsolicited e-mail to our Software Revenue Recognition Guide subscribers. We will not examine the text of annotations made by subscribers and will only examine user-supplied content in aggregate, to allow us to understand which content is most frequently marked up or bookmarked.
4. Is information disclosed to third parties?
We do not sell or disseminate any personally identifiable information collected through the Software Revenue Recognition Guide web site to third parties, unless otherwise disclosed at the point of collection. Any annotations, highlights or bookmarks that you add to the text are stored in a secure database on a third party server. This user-supplied content is stored separately from the user contact information.
Our site is hosted by a third party company, Gamba, Inc., located at 5743 E. 9th Street, Tucson, AZ 85711. All personally identifiable information and saved work will be received and held by their servers which are located outside of PwC domain.
We may share your personal information with PricewaterhouseCoopers affiliates, subsidiaries or member firms of the worldwide PricewaterhouseCoopers network to facilitate local support of the Software Revenue Recognition Guide product.
5. How long is information retained?
Current user information is stored and maintained on the Software Revenue Recognition Guide web site for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement.
6. Does the Software Revenue Recognition Guide web site link to other web sites?
The Software Revenue Recognition Guide web site does link to other web sites. PricewaterhouseCoopers assumes no responsibility for the information practices of sites that a user accesses through the Software Revenue Recognition Guide web site. When you link to other websites, PwC's privacy practices no longer apply. We encourage you to review each site's privacy policy before disclosing any personally identifiable information.
7. Can I modify my personal information?
You can access, review and correct your personal information at any time. To modify your personal information, select Options-->Modify Registration. Amend your information and select "submit".
8. How secure is my information?
PricewaterhouseCoopers uses generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. Only authorized PricewaterhouseCoopers personnel can access personally identifiable information. PricewaterhouseCoopers uses secure socket layer technology to protect user login information.
9. Changes to the PwC Privacy Statement.
PricewaterhouseCoopers reserves the right to modify or amend this statement. To keep users informed of key changes, PricewaterhouseCoopers will notify users via the "Welcome" page on the Software Revenue Recognition Guide web site for a period of at least 30 days, beginning as of the effective date of the change.
