you can choose to save your billing and shipping information in the "My Account

We may collect information about your visits to our websites, including the pages

in connection with the iolo websites and services. We may also collect certain information
from the browser you used to come to our website, such as your Internet Protocol
("IP") address, browser type and language, access times, the Uniform Resource Locator
("URL") of the website that referred you to our website and to which URL you browse
away from our site if you click on a link on our site.
When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mails from iolo, we may use web beacons
(described below), customized links or similar technologies to determine whether
the e-mail has been opened and which links you click. The data is used to help us
determine the effectiveness of our communications with you, and to provide you with
more focused communications.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions
with iolo, information collected through one source may be combined with information
obtained through other iolo resources. We may also supplement the information we
collect with information obtained from other parties as well.
Some iolo services or products may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with
another company. If you register for or use such services or products, both iolo
and the other company may receive information collected in conjunction with the
co-branded services or products, and may use the information according to each company's
privacy statement and other agreements with you.
How We Use Your Personal Information
iolo uses your personal and technical information to:
- Deliver the services and support, or carry out the transactions you have requested.
- Send communications to you, such as your transactions status (for example, order
confirmations), information about products and services available from iolo and
its corporate affiliates, promotional offers, newsletters, and surveys.
- Customize, analyze, and improve our products, services (including our website),
technologies, communications and relationship with you.
- Enforce our conditions of sale, website terms and/or separate contracts (if applicable)
with you.
- Prevent fraud and other prohibited or illegal activities.
Personal information collected may be stored and processed in the United States
or any other country in which iolo or its corporate affiliates, subsidiaries, agents
or service providers maintain facilities, and by using iolo products and services,
you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.
Disclosing Personal Information
We may share your personal information with corporate affiliates to carry out transactions
you request or to make our business or that of our corporate affiliates more responsive
to your needs. We may also disclose your personal information in connection with
law enforcement, fraud prevention, or other legal action; as required by law or
regulation; or if iolo reasonably believes it is necessary to protect iolo, its
customers or the public. In addition, we may share your personal information with
business partners that help iolo carry out transactions you request or that help
iolo to customize, analyze and/or improve our communications or relationship with
you, and then only with business partners who share iolo's commitment to protecting
your personal information. Except as described above, we will not disclose your
personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes unless you have
provided consent.
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy products, subsidiaries,
or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of
the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any
pre-existing privacy policy (unless, of course, you consent otherwise). Also, in
the event that iolo, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information
will of course be one of the transferred assets.

data collection and use that may differ from United States law, including those
whose privacy laws may be more strict than United States law, please note that you
are transferring your personal information to the United States to iolo, where it
will be stored. By providing your personal information you consent to such transfer
and storage of personal information in the United States (or any other region outside
the European Union where such personal information may be stored). iolo will take
all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and
in accordance with this privacy policy.

How We Use Cookies
iolo websites use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services and to help
personalize your online experience. We use cookies to store your preferences and
other information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the
need to repeatedly enter the same information and to display your personalized content
and appropriate advertising on your later visits to these websites.
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 sign in
or use other interactive features of iolo websites and services that depend on cookies.
How We Use Web Beacons
We, or third parties with whom we have contracted or sub contracted, may use web
beacons on our website, in our e-mails, in our advertisements on other websites,
or in our advertisements in others' e-mails. A web beacon is an electronic image
that can be used to recognize a cookie on your computer when you view a web page
or e-mail. Web beacons help us measure the effectiveness of our website and our
advertising in various ways, for example, by counting the number of individuals
who visit our website from a particular advertisement or make a purchase from our
website after viewing a particular advertisement as well as by telling us when a
web page is viewed and providing a description of the page where the web beacon
is placed. Web beacons also help us measure the effectiveness of our e-mail campaigns,
for example, by counting the number of individuals who open or act upon an e-mail
message, determining when an e-mail message is opened and determining how many times
an e-mail message is forwarded.
The information we collect may include some limited personal information, and web
beacons allow us to recognize users by accessing iolo cookies. We may also combine
the information that we collect through web beacons with other personal information
we have collected from you. We use all of this information to better tailor our
marketing to you and may use this information for other purposes, such as to enable
a shopping cart, customize content on our website and undertake internal research.
We may allow third parties to compile individual information or aggregated statistics
from our use of web beacons to enable such third parties to determine the effectiveness
of online marketing and to allow such third parties to develop statistics on how
often clicking on an advertisement results in a purchase or other action on the
advertiser's site. Aggregate information is anonymous and may include demographic
and usage information.
You can make some web beacons unusable by rejecting cookies.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Please be aware that other websites that may be accessed through our website may
collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices
of those third-party websites linked to or from iolo.com are not covered by this
Privacy Statement.
Please be aware that, in providing services on iolo's behalf, our business partners
may collect personal information about you.
Changes to Our Global Privacy Statement Regarding Customer and Online User Information
We will occasionally update this Privacy Statement. When we post changes to this
Privacy Statement, we will revise the Effective Date at the end of this paragraph.
If there are material changes to this Privacy Statement or in how iolo will use
your personal information, we will notify you by prominently posting a notice of
such changes prior to implementing the change. We encourage you to periodically
review this statement to be informed of how iolo is protecting your personal information.
