Privacy Policy
Freedom Digital Networks respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This statement describes how Freedom Digital Networks (Fdn) collects and uses your personal information to provide services that you request or when you choose to provide us with your personal information.
Information Collection
Personal information means any information that may be used to
identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and
last name, email address, a home, postal or other physical address,
other contact information, title, occupation, industry, personal
interests, and other information when needed to provide a service
or product or carry out a transaction you have requested.
When you browse our website, you do so anonymously, unless you have
previously registered with us. We do not automatically collect
personal information, including your email address. We do log your
IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an
idea of which part of our website you visit and how long you spend
there. But we do not link your IP address to any personal
information unless you have registered with us. Like many other
commercial websites, the Fdn website may use a standard
technologies, such as ?cookies? and other HTML tools, to collect
information about how you use the site or to record that you opened
an email marketing message. Please go to "Cookies and Other
Tracking Technologies" below for more information.
Fdn collects personal information when you register with us, when
you register to attend a seminar or participate in an online
survey, when you ask to be included in an email or other mailing
list, when you submit an entry for a promotional event, or when you
submit your personal information to Fdn for any other reason. From
time to time, Fdn receives personal information from business
partners and vendors. Fdn will only use such information if it has
been collected in accordance with acceptable privacy practices
consistent with this Privacy Statement and applicable laws.
Access to certain Fdn web pages may require a login. The use of those web pages, and the information downloadable from those sites may not be replicated or used for commercial purposes. Unless you request deactivation of your personal information as specified below, your personal information may be retained by Fdn to verify compliance with the agreement, log software licenses granted, track software downloaded from those pages, or track usage of other applications available on those pages.
Notice
When personal information is collected, we will inform you at
the point of collection the purpose for the collection. Fdn will
not transfer your personal information to third parties without
your consent, except under the limited conditions described under
"Information Sharing and Disclosure" below.
In most cases we will provide you with the opportunity to "opt
in" prior to receiving direct marketing or market research
information. This means we will require you to confirm that you
consent before we use your information for purposes other than the
purpose for which it was submitted. We will always give you the
opportunity to "opt out" of receiving such materials at
any point in time. This means we assume you have given us your
consent to collect and use your information in accordance with this
Privacy Statement unless you clearly indicate that you do not
consent, for instance by clicking or checking the appropriate
option or box at the point of collection.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to
your computer's hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file
can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to
track the pages you have visited, but the only personal information
a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie
cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by
other sites. Some parts of Fdn's website may use cookies to
track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the
usefulness of our website information to our users and to determine
how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach
that information.
If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website or
via HTML-formatted emails, you can set your browser to warn you
before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser
alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by
turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to
take full advantage of Fdn's website if you do so. In
particular, you may be required to accept cookies in order to
complete certain actions on our website.

How We Use Information Collected
Fdn uses information for several general purposes: to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, to personalize your experience on our website, to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, special offers or other information we think you would like to hear about either from us or from our business partners, and to better understand your needs and provide you with better services. We may also use your information to send you, or to have our business partners send you, direct marketing information or contact you for market research.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Because Fdn works very closely with its business partners in
delivering our solution, your personal information may be shared
with some of our partners, where appropriate. All such partners are
governed by this Privacy Statement or are bound by appropriate
confidentiality and data transfer agreements.
Your personal information is never shared outside Fdn without your
permission, except under conditions explained below. Within Fdn,
data is stored in controlled servers with limited access.
Fdn may share your personal information with other companies or
people under any of the following circumstances:
- When we have your consent to share the information;
- If sharing your information is necessary to provide a product or service you have requested (if your information is shared with third parties we will only provide the information they need to deliver the service. Also, such companies are prohibited from using your information for any other purpose);
- To keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, special offers or other information we think you would like to hear about either from us or from our business partners (unless you have opted out of these types of communications).
We will also disclose your personal information if required to do
so by law, to enforce our Terms of Use, or in urgent circumstances,
to protect personal safety, the public or our website.
Data Security
Fdn safeguards the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet.
Third Party Sites
Fdn's website contains links to other sites. Fdn, however, does not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. Although we choose our business partners carefully, Fdn is not responsible for the privacy practices of web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our site. Once you have left our website, you should check the applicable privacy statement of the third party website to determine how they will handle any information they collect from you.
Changes to this Privacy Statement
Fdn may amend this privacy statement from time to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way that we use your personal information we will make that information available by posting a notice on this site.
