Softvoyage, Inc. ("Softvoyage") and its licensees (collectively referred to as "we" or "our" or "us") provide this SIREV website to you ("SIREV"). Welcome to SIREV. We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of personal data or personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") about the users and visitors of SIREV. The following Privacy Policy discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. Please note, however, that we may update and amend this Privacy Policy from time to time.
We commit to put you - the customer - first. We'll be transparent about how we collect and use your information, keep your information secure, and provide you meaningful choices.
From time to time, Softvoyage may make changes to this Privacy Policy. It is your responsibility to make sure you are familiar and understand the changes to this Privacy Policy as they occur.
By using SIREV, you agree to this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY, DO NOT USE SIREV. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, alter or update this portion of our Privacy Policy at any time. Such modifications, alterations, and updates shall be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of SIREV following the posting of a modified, altered, or updated Privacy Policy will mean you accept those modifications, alterations, or updates. Privacy Policy changes will apply to Personal Information that you submit to us about you through your use of SIREV ("Personal Information Collected") collected after the date we post the revised Privacy Policy, as well as to existing Personal Information Collected held by us.
SIREV will permit you to link to other websites that may or may not be affiliated with us. The other linked websites may have different privacy policies that are not the same as our Privacy Policy, or may not have privacy policies. We encourage you to read the privacy policies (if any) for all such websites as they may differ from this Privacy Policy. Your use of such linked websites through links provided on this website is governed by the terms and privacy policies of those sites, not this website.
We gather two types of information about you: (1) Website Personal Information that users provide through optional, voluntary features of our website, and (2) data that we gather through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying web pages that are viewed by users throughout our website.
The provision of your Website Personal Information is voluntary. If you do not provide us with the required Website Personal Information, we may not be able to provide you with the services you requested.
We collect information when we request it from you and when you provide it to us voluntarily. Generally, this occurs when you register at the website or request information or a service from us. Usually, we and our business partners use your information to operate the website and to deliver products and/or services. We also use your information to inform you about other products and/or services available from us and our business partners.
Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses: An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified by the computers, known as "web servers", that "serve up" web pages. This allows us to identify and gather general information and data about you, such as the web pages you view. When users request web pages from our website, our web servers log the user's IP address. For example, we collect and track the home server domain name, the type of computer, and the type of web browser used by you to access this website. We will use this information to further identify you when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our website Terms of Use or to protect our service, site, users, or others.
What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information that a website sends to your device for record-keeping purposes. This information is stored in a file on your device's hard drive. Cookies make web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences so that we can use the saved information to facilitate your use of our website when you return to the website. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you will find that most major websites use them. By showing how and when users use the website, cookies help us see which areas of the website are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the website are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies.
Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete your cookie file at any time. Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your web browser to refuse cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of our services will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized preferences.
We have two primary uses for cookies. First, we use them to specify a user's preferences. Second, we use cookies to track website usage trends and patterns. This helps us understand our users' needs better and improve areas of our website. While both of these activities depend on the use of cookies, you have the option of disabling or refusing the cookies via your web browser preferences. We also use cookies or similar technologies to track when you open the emails we send you. If you do not agree with our use of such technologies, you may opt out of receiving messages from us.
By using our website, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.
You may occasionally get cookies from our business partners. We do not control these cookies.
Additional information about cookies is available from www.AboutCookies.org.

Third Party & Aggregate Data:From time to time, you may be offered the opportunity to receive materials or special offers from third parties. We may share your name and e-mail address with such third parties. We may match Website Personal Information with third party data. Also, we may keep track of what portions of the website users are visiting and other user statistics, and aggregate this information to help us create a better experience for users of our website. This is all done in order to describe our viewers and services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.
Other:We may also disclose Website Personal Information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Use, or may be causing injury to or interference with any of our rights or property, other users, or anyone else. We may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services. In addition, if we or our assets are acquired, your Website Personal Information will likely be transferred or disclosed in connection with such acquisition.
In case you change your mind or you make us aware of changes to your personal information (such as your postal code or e-mail address), we will endeavor to correct, update or remove the personal information that you give us. We also give you the opportunity to control the communications we direct to you.

These other websites may include sites of advertisers, sponsors, and partners that may use our logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other websites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit information.

Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information online (for example, via message boards or forums) that information can be collected and used by people you do not know. We cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and you disclose such information at your own risk.
The security of all information associated with our users is an important concern to us. We exercise care in providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we can't ensure the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk.
