Collection of your
Personal Information
We will ask you when we
need information that personally
identifies you (personal information) or
allows us to contact you to provide a
service or carry out a transaction that
you have requested such as receiving
information about Anterra products and
services, entering a contest, ordering
e-mail newsletters, joining a
limited-access premium site or service,
signing up for an event or training, or
when purchasing, downloading and/or
registering Anterra products. The
personal information we collect may
include your name, title, company or
organization name, work e-mail, work
phone, work or home address, information
about your job function, information
about your company, and credit card
information.
The Site may collect
certain information about your visit,
such as the name of the Internet service
provider and the Internet Protocol (IP)
address through which you access the
Internet; the date and time you access
the Site; the pages that you access
while at the Site and the Internet
address of the Web site from which you
linked directly to our site. This
information is used to help improve the
Site, analyze trends, and administer the
Site.
Anterra technical
communities provide opportunities to
interact with Anterra employees,
experts, and your peers in order to
share knowledge and news about Anterra
products and related technologies. In
order to avoid your e-mail address or
other personal information from being
gathered and used by others for
inappropriate or harmful purposes,
Anterra advises that you should be
cautious about posting a real e-mail
address or other personal information to
newsgroups, chats, or other public
forums
Use of your Personal
Information
The personal information
collected on this Site will be used to
operate the Site and to provide the
service(s) or carry out the
transaction(s) you have requested or
authorized.
In support of these
uses, Anterra may use personal
information to provide you with more
effective customer service, to improve
the Site and any related Anterra
products or services, and to make the
Site easier to use by eliminating the
need for you to repeatedly enter the
same information or by customizing the
Site to your particular preference or
interests. In order to offer you a more
consistent experience in your
interactions with Anterra, information
collected by anterra.net may be combined
with information collected by other
Anterra services.
We may use your personal
information to provide you with
important information about the product
or service that you are using, including
critical updates and notifications.
Additionally, with your permission, we
may send you information about other
Anterra products and services, and/or
share information with Anterra partners
so they may send you information about
their products and services.
We merge site-visitation
data with anonymous demographic
information for research purposes, and
we may use this information in aggregate
to provide more relevant content. In
some limited-entry sections of
anterra.net, with your approval, we will
combine site-visitation data with your
personal information in order to provide
you with personalized content. If you
decline permission, we will not provide
you the personalized service and won't
merge your personal information with
site-visitation data.
When you sign up for a
newsletter or agree to receive
promotional e-mail, anterra.net may use
customized links or similar technologies
to track e-mail links that you click. We
may associate that information with your
personal information in order to provide
you more focused e-mail communications
or purchase information. Each e-mail
communication includes an unsubscribe
link allowing you to stop delivery of
that type of communication.
Some services on
anterra.net offer individuals the
ability to publicly display certain
personal information, such as for a
Anterra partner who wishes to publish
contact information as part of offering
a business service. Participation in
such services is always optional.
Anterra occasionally
hires other companies to provide limited
services on our behalf, such as Web site
hosting, packaging, mailing and
delivering prizes, answering customer
questions about products and services,
and sending information about our
products, special offers, and other new
services. We will only provide those
companies the personal information they
need to deliver the service. They are
required to maintain the confidentiality
of the information and are prohibited
from using that information for any
other purpose.
Anterra may disclose
personal information 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
Anterra or the Site; (b) protect and
defend the rights or property of Anterra
and our family of Web sites; or (c) act
in urgent circumstances to protect the
personal safety of Anterra employees or
agents, users of Anterra products or
services, or members of the public.
Personal information
collected on the Site may be stored and
processed in the United States or any
other country in which Anterra or its
affiliates, subsidiaries or agents
maintain facilities, and by using the
Site, you consent to any such transfer
of information outside of your country.
Anterra abides by the safe harbor
framework as set forth by the U.S.
Department of Commerce regarding the
collection, use, and retention of data
from the European Union.
Control of your
Personal Information
Except as otherwise
described in this statement, personal
information you provide on the Site will
not be shared outside of Anterra and its
controlled subsidiaries and affiliates
without your permission. As described
below in the next section, you can
access your personal information and
make choices about how you wish to be
contacted.
Please be aware that
this privacy statement and any choices
you make on the Site will not
necessarily apply to personal
information you may have provided to
Anterra in the context of other,
separately operated, Anterra products or
services.
anterra.net may send out
periodic e-mails informing you of
technical service or security issues
related to a product or service you
requested, or confirming you requested a
product or service. In some services
offered by anterra.net, contact with the
customer is an intrinsic part of the
service. You will not be able to choose
to unsubscribe to these mailings, as
they are considered an essential part of
the service(s) you have chosen.
Security of your
Personal Information
Anterra is committed to
protecting the security of your personal
information. We use a variety of
security technologies and procedures to
help protect your personal information
from unauthorized access, use, or
disclosure. For example, we store the
personal information you provide on
computer servers with limited access
that are located in controlled
facilities. Additionally, when we
transmit sensitive personal information
(such as a credit card number) over the
Internet, we protect it through the use
of encryption, such as the Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) protocol.
Protection of
Children's Personal Information
anterra.net is a general
audience site and does not knowingly
collect any personal information from
children.
Use of Cookies
We use cookies on this
Site to ensure the integrity of the
registration process and to personalize
the Site. A cookie is a small text file
that is placed on your hard disk by a
Web page server. Cookies cannot be used
to run programs or deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies are uniquely
assigned to you, and can only be read by
a Web server in the domain that issued
the cookie to you.
One of the primary
purposes of cookies is to provide a
convenience feature to save you time.
For example, if you personalize a web
page, or navigate within a site, a
cookie helps the site to recall your
specific information on subsequent
visits. This simplifies the process of
delivering relevant content, eases site
navigation, and so on. When you return
to the Web site, the information you
previously provided can be retrieved, so
you can easily use the site's features
that you customized.
Web beacons, also known
as clear gif technology, or action tags,
may be used to assist in delivering the
cookie on our site. This technology is a
tool we use to compile aggregated
statistics about anterra.net Web site
usage, such as how many visitors clicked
on key elements (such as links or
graphics) on a anterra.net Web page,
blog or a newsletter. We may share
aggregated site statistics with partner
companies but do not allow other
companies to place clear gifs or cookies
on our sites unless there is a
temporary, overriding customer value
(such as merging into anterra.net a site
that relies on third-party cookies or
clear gifs).
You have the ability to
accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies,
but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you
prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully
experience the interactive features of
this or other Web sites you visit.
Use of Anterra Passport
This Site uses .NET
Passport to provide sign-in and
registration services. In order to sign
in to this Site using .NET Passport, you
will be asked to type your e-mail
address and a password. This same
Passport sign-in allows you to access
many other Passport participating sites
and services. If you create a .NET
Passport at this site, you are
simultaneously registering with
anterra.net and opening a .NET Passport
account.
Enforcement of this
Privacy Statement
If you have questions
regarding this statement, you should

Changes to this
Statement
We may occasionally
update this privacy statement. When we
do, we will also revise the "last
updated" date at the top of the privacy
statement. For material changes to this
privacy statement, we will notify you
either by placing a prominent notice on
the home page of our Web site or by
directly sending you a notification. We
encourage you to periodically review
this privacy statement to stay informed
about how we are helping to protect the
personal information we collect. Your
continued use of the service constitutes
your agreement to this privacy statement
and any updates.
