Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy:

Alan Desk Inc. ("Alan Desk") operates Alandesk.com and may operate other websites. It is Alan Desk's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Alan Desk collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Alan Desk's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Alan Desk's visitors use its website. From time to time, Alan Desk may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Alan Desk also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Alandesk.com blogs/sites. Alan Desk only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Alan Desk's websites choose to interact with Alan Desk in ways that require Alan Desk to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Alan Desk gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at Alandesk.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Alan Desk are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Alan Desk collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Alan Desk. Alan Desk does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Alan Desk may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Alan Desk may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Alan Desk does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Alan Desk discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Alan Desk's behalf or to provide services available at Alan Desk's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Alan Desk's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Alan Desk will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Alan Desk discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Alan Desk believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Alan Desk, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Alan Desk website and have supplied your email address, Alan Desk may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with Alan Desk and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Alan Desk takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Alan Desk visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Alan Desk's websites, with the drawback that certain features of Alan Desk's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If Alan Desk, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Alan Desk goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Alan Desk may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
