Information Actively Provided by Our Visitors

We do not require visitors to register or provide any information before entering our websites. However, there are several places where visitors may choose to provide personally identifiable information about themselves. CrystalGraphicsImages treats this information as strictly confidential. Unless we tell you otherwise, CrystalGraphicsImages uses the information only for the purpose it was provided and will not give, lease, trade, share or sell this personal information to another entity or person outside of CrystalGraphicsImages.

For example:

• E-Newsletters: Some of our pages permit you to register to receive e-mail newsletters and/or product or promotional update emails in the future by providing your name and e-mail address. We will not give, lease, trade, share or sell these names or email addresses to another entity or person outside of CrystalGraphicsImages. Any e-mail you receive from CrystalGraphicsImages will allow you to "unsubscribe" from this informational service at any time.
• Free or Trial Product Downloads: Some of our pages permit you to download free or trial software after providing your name and e-mail address. Generally, just below those name and email fields, you are also provided with an option to receive e-mail newsletters and/or product or promotional update emails in the future. We will not give, lease, trade, share or sell these names or email addresses to another entity or person outside of CrystalGraphicsImages. Any e-mail you receive from CrystalGraphicsImages will allow you to unsubscribe from this informational service at any time.
• Purchase Pages: You may also buy products on our website, in which case you will be asked for your name, address and credit card or other payment information. This information will be treated by CrystalGraphicsImages as strictly confidential and is used by CrystalGraphicsImages only for the purpose of verifying and collecting the payment and shipping the order to you at the address specified. It is never provided in any form to any person outside CrystalGraphicsImages or to any other company, except that your name and address are provided to our shipping company and, in some cases, to the government for tax purposes, if required by law. Any follow-up or product or promotional e-mail you receive from CrystalGraphicsImages after your purchase will allow you to unsubscribe from this informational service at any time.
• Questions: On some pages our visitors can submit comments or ask questions. The only personally identifiable information that we collect is the sender’s name and e-mail address. We will not give, lease, trade, share or sell these names or email addresses to another entity or person outside of CrystalGraphicsImages. We do not save any personally identifiable information associated with comments, and we only save e-mail addresses associated with questions in order to respond to those questions.
• Sweepstakes: We occasionally offer sweepstakes on our pages. We collect the name and email addresses of the people entering the sweepstakes. Rarely, this information may be shared with the company providing the sweepstakes prizes, but if so, this fact will be clearly stated in the online entry form. Otherwise, we will not give, lease, trade, share or sell these names or email addresses to another entity or person outside of CrystalGraphicsImages. Of course, we also collect the information necessary for prize fulfillment from those who win. If a prize is valued at over $600, a social security number will be requested. The first initial, last name, hometown and state of all winners will be included on a Winners List. The Winners List will be provided upon request and as required by law. Information required for tax purposes, email addresses, the Winner’s List or other information required by law is kept as required by law. All other information is deleted within 60 days of the final selection of the sweepstakes’ prize winners.
• Other Features: There may be other features available on our website which may require some personally identifiable information to use the feature. We only use the personally identifiable information to provide the feature and delete it within a reasonable period of time after the information is no longer necessary.
