Your Privacy
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
In general, you can visit this Site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However, most areas of this Site require registration to access. We collect this information to better understand your needs and provide you with services that are valuable to you. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you can still visit much of this Site, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers and services such as downloading trial or evaluation software.
As a condition to being allowed to download trial or evaluation software from this Site, you may be asked for your consent to be contacted from time to time by us and/or one of our affiliates, representatives or partners, by either email, postal mail, telephone and/or facsimile, to provide you with the information about other products and/or services offered by Borland or its affiliates or partners that we or they think may be of interest to you.
Borland provides a number of ways for you to "opt-out" of receiving certain additional information from us or having us provide your personal information to our partners. We may offer you these choices at the time you give us your information. However, the availability of certain offers and services such as downloading trial or evaluation software may be conditioned upon your agreement to permit Borland or our business partners to contact you, in which case, notice of any such condition will appear on this Site.
Since Borland is a global company, we provide company information to our worldwide offices. The personal information that you have provided to us may be transferred to other Borland offices around the world. For example, when European customers register Borland products, their personal information may be transferred to servers in the United States then transferred to servers in one or more of Borland's European offices. Also, in certain countries our outside contractors and partners might undertake the collection, transferring, storage and processing of your information.
Please be advised that in certain instances, it may be necessary for Borland to disclose your personal information to federal, state and local government officials in the U.S. or overseas or otherwise as required by our legal obligations.
Personal data privacy is a new and evolving area, and mistakes and miscommunication are possible. We will do our best to maintain the accuracy of your personal information. To make changes to our records of your personal information, please modify your registration profile.
