OpenOSX Privacy Policy
OpenOSX is committed to your privacy and makes every effort to ensure the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information.
We respect the privacy rights of our online visitors and recognize the importance of protecting the information collected about you. We have adopted a corporate wide Privacy Policy that guides how we collect, store and use the information you provide.

OpenOSX currently operates the following web sites and subdomains thereof:

OpenOSX.com

Please feel free to contact us if you feel that OpenOSX is not abiding by its posted privacy policy.

What personal information is collected?
No registration is required to access any of our websites.

When a sale is made, we will ask for the full billing and shipping names, a valid email address, postcode/zip code, country, phone, fax, and credit card information. This information will be shared with the billing agency solely for the purpose of processing your purchase.

By completing the sale, you are opting-in to allow us to collect this information for our use as described. If you do not wish to opt-in, please do not complete the sale.

What other infomation is stored?
Like most web servers on the Internet, our servers collect and store all of the information that your web browser sends when it requests a web page, including:

	The name, domain, and numerical internet address of the "host" computer (typically a computer belonging to your Internet Service Provider and not your personal computer) from which you access the Internet. For example, your host computer's name is 38.103.63.61 and its numerical address is 38.103.63.61 .
	This page was accessed on September 8, 2008 at 1220855250.
	The Internet address (if any) of the web page that you came from is "no referer"
	The page you requested from our site and the number of characters sent to your computer, which for this page is /openweb/privacy.php
	The information your web browser software sends as its so-called "User Agent," which typically identifies the browser software and may also indicate the operating system and type of CPU used in your personal computer. Your User Agent information is CCBot/1.0 (+http://www.commoncrawl.org/bot.html) . It is impossible to determine the actual identity of an individual user from this information.

The logs are periodically summarized and analyzed in order to study site usage over time and to perform other studies to help us improve the site's organization, performance, and usefulness.Cookies - Some applications may save a "cookie" on your computer's hard disk to provide a temporary history of actions taken. A common example is the tracking of items placed in an online "shopping basket." We do not retain any record of "cookies" beyond what is necessary for running the application.

What happens to the information provided/collected?
The information may be used to:

	Provide our customer support service, and to verify any claims or requests you make if you use our customer support service.
	Enforce our terms and conditions, and prevent hacking activities against our site.
	Send service announcements which contain important information about our service, our site, or your account. (For example, an email notice is sent to you when your order is shipped).
	For our own internal marketing and demographic studies, information may be aggregated to generate anonymous statistics regarding use of our services. This is done so we can consistently improve our service to better meet our customers' needs.

We respect your privacy, except as specified above we will not sell, rent, or disclose your personal information to other companies. We will not use your email address to send you 'spam'. In certain circumstances we may need to disclose information about you if you breach this privacy policy. We may also disclose or access your account if required to do so by law or by any Governmental body.

Third Party Sites
We partner with third parties to provide specific services. As part of these services OpenOSX might store information, that was entered via the third party's site in our database.

We use an outside credit card processing company to process credit card payments securely. This company does not retain, share, store or use your personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

Please note that this policy applies only to sites maintained by OpenOSX, and not to web sites maintained by other companies or organisations to which we link. Furthermore, from time to time OpenOSX may employ third parties who may collect personal information on OpenOSX's behalf. In such cases, such third parties will be instructed by OpenOSX to comply with the OpenOSX Privacy Policy as set forth herein.

OpenOSX is not responsible for the privacy practices of third party sites. Whenever you provide registration information on co-branded or private label sites, that data may be shared with the third-party company providing the service. You should make every effort to read the individual privacy policies of such third parties and make an informed decision on your own whether or not to continue based upon these sites' privacy practices and your own discretion.

Safeguarding your personally identifiable information
OpenOSX will only collect personally identifiable information to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to serve our legitimate business purposes, and OpenOSX will maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of the information you have provided. Keeping information about you secure is very important to us. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. As a result, whilst we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information which you send to us, and you do so at your own risk. OpenOSX will take reasonable steps to assure that third parties to whom OpenOSX transfer any data will provide sufficient protection of that personal information.
