SECURITY
VWD-CMS has taken strong measures to protect the security
of your personal information and to ensure that your choices for its intended
use are honored. Strong precautions have been taken to protect your data from loss, misuse,
unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
VWD-CMS guarantees your e-commerce transactions to be 100% safe and secure. When you
place orders or access your personal account information, you're utilizing a
secure server software SSL, which encrypts your personal information before it's
sent over the Internet. SSL is one of the safest encryption technologies available.
In addition, your transactions are guaranteed under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
This Act states that your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 in
fraudulent credit card charges. If your bank does hold you liable for $50.00 or
less, VWD-CMS will cover your liability provided the unauthorized, fraudulent use of
your credit card resulted through no fault of your own and from purchases made
from www.vwd-cms.com over SSL. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit
card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting
rules and procedures.
VWD-CMS strictly protects the security of your personal
information and honors your choices for its intended use. Your data is carefully protected
from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Your personal information is never shared without your
permission, except under conditions explained above. Data
is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access. Your information
may be stored and processed in The United States or any other country where
VWD-CMS, its subsidiaries, affiliates or agents are located.
You also have a significant role in protecting your information. No one can see
or edit your personal information without knowing your user name and password,
so do not share these with others.
ENFORCEMENT
If for some reason you believe VWD-CMS has not adhered
to these principles, please send an email to
privacy@vwd-cms.com,
and VWD-CMS will attempt to determine and correct the problem promptly.

ELECTRONIC PRODUCT REGISTRATION
When you buy and install a new product, you may be asked to register
your purchase electronically. When you do, your registration
information is merged with any information you've already provided
(this information constitutes your personal profile). If you haven't previously
registered with VWD-CMS, you may be asked to register as part your product registration or
a personal profile for you may be created based on your
product registration information. If you ever want to review or update
that information, you can visit the Membership Account pages and edit
any of the Personal Information in your profile. If you haven't already
created a Registration ID, you will be required to do so. This ensures that
only you can access your information.
CUSTOMER PROFILES
As mentioned above, every registered customer has a unique personal profile.
Each profile is assigned a unique personal identification number, which helps
ensure that only you can access your profile.
When you register, a profile is created with a personal identification number.
This personal identification number is sent back to your hard drive in the form
of a cookie, which is a very small bit of code. This code is uniquely yours.
It is your passport to seamless travel across
www.vwd-cms.com,
allowing you to download free software, order free newsletters, and visit
premium sites without having to fill out registration forms with information
you've already provided. Even if you switch computers, you won't have to
re-register just use your user name to identify yourself.
WHAT VWD-CMS DOES WITH THE INFORMATION YOU SHARE
When you join VWD-CMS, you provide your contact information, including
your name and email address. This information is used to send you updates
about your order, questionnaires to measure your satisfaction with the
service, and announcements about new products and services.
When you order from VWD-CMS, you will be asked to provide your credit card number and billing
address. This information is used only to bill you for the product(s) you
order at that time. For your convenience, your billing information can be saved
in case you want to order from VWD-CMS again, but this information is not used
again without your permission and it is strongly encrypted in the customer database
and security measures have been taken to protect the decryption key.
VWD-CMS occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services
including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering
customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and
processing event registration. Those companies are only provided the
information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from
using that information for any other purpose.
VWD-CMS will disclose your personal information,
without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith
belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the
law or comply with legal process served on VWD-CMS
or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of VWD-CMS
and its family of Web sites, and, (c) act in urgent
circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of
VWD-CMS, its Web sites, or the public.
