Respecting the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information is important to Vincera. This Privacy Policy explains how Vincera collects, uses, and discloses the information you provide while using the Vincera Web site at www.vincera.com (the "Web Site").

Voluntary Provision of Personal Information - During your use of the Web Site, you may be asked to voluntarily provide certain personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, postal address and telephone number, in order to enhance your use of the Web Site or for purposes such as facilitating correspondence with you, registering your entitlement to access certain special features of the Web Site, or to complete transactions. It is always your choice whether or not to provide that personal information. If you choose not to provide requested personal information, you may not be able to use certain features of the Web Site.

Permitted Uses - Vincera may use your personally identifiable information to contact and correspond with you, to respond to your inquiries, to monitor and facilitate your use of the Web Site, and to improve the Web Site and our services. That information may be retained for future statistical analysis and other purposes.

Permitted Email Uses - Vincera may also use your personally identifiable information to provide you with email or other information about Vincera products and services and other matters. At any time you may ask Vincera to stop sending you email and other information by contacting info@vincera.com. Each unsolicited email Vincera sends will also tell you how to decline further email.

Location of Information - Vincera will store and process your personally identifiable information in Austin, Texas, USA.

Securing Your Information - To help protect the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information, Vincera employs security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. Nevertheless, all security and privacy risks cannot be eliminated. You can contribute to the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information by not disclosing your username and password to anyone. Also, please never use unsecure email to send us sensitive information, because unencrypted email is generally not secure and cannot be considered confidential.

Vincera has no responsibility for, or control over, any linked Web sites or their privacy policies or the manner in which they collect, use or disclose your personally identifiable information.

Information Collected: What, How and Why?

Subscribers and Visitors

In order to process your request, we need to know contact information such as your full name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, job and job title, and method of payment. All of this information is not shared with third parties, except for: 1) special promotions of Vincera, Inc. or its partners you have requested to be shown; 2) where a third party performs services on behalf of Vincera, Inc. and has agreed to keep such information confidential; 3) the aggregate use of the information of multiple Vincera, Inc.'s subscribers and visitors where individual personal information is not disclosed; and 4) advertising promotions. Vincera, Inc. shares content usage information about subscribers and visitors with a third-party advertising company for the purpose of targeting advertising campaigns and upgrading visitor information used in reporting statistics. Vincera, Inc. also uses your information to market its services and to gain feedback on potential new services. Vincera, Inc. may also evaluate information about your usage of licensed content to ensure compliance with the content license agreement.

Offline use of licensed content may be tracked by collecting the following information for each use of the content: 1) Document ID for the content. 2) Machine fingerprint of the computer upon which the content is being viewed. The machine fingerprint will not provide any personally identifiable information from the computer, and will consist of a combination of parameters that include operating system name, operating system version, hard disk serial number, MAC address of the network card, computer name, computer manufacturer name, processor ID, processor clock speed, BIOS manufacturer and SMBIOS version. 3) IP address of the computer upon which the content is being viewed. 4) User id or login name of the individual who originally downloaded the content being viewed.

As a subscriber or visitor to Vincera, Inc.'s site, you may voluntarily sign up for one of our newsletters. When you sign up for a newsletter, we ask for contact information, such as your name and e-mail address, and job and job title information, which are used to help us understand our audience. This information is for Vincera, Inc.'s use only and is not disclosed to any external party except in aggregate form. Additionally, if you decide that you do not wish to receive a newsletter or update any longer, you may cancel it.

How Do We Protect Subscriber Information Once We Have It?

All information is stored on a secure server. Vincera, Inc. uses Netscape's Secure Socket Layer (SSL) server for our Web site. Browsers will encrypt the contents of the subscription form before sending it to our server. Please remember that many services and transactions are performed by our business partners. Our privacy policy and our security or common practices do not apply to other companies.

Cookies

What is a Cookie and Why Do We Use Them?

A "cookie" is a small piece of information sent by a Web server to store in a Web client so that it can later be read back from that client. Vincera, Inc. uses cookies to store some personal preferences for your future visits. Cookies allow Vincera, Inc. to recognize you more quickly; therefore, our services provided to you may be more personalized and productive. You'll find that cookies are an industry standard and are used at most major Web sites in much the same way we use them here at Vincera, Inc.

In order to make Vincera, Inc. a more valuable product for our subscribers and visitors, we also collect and analyze statistical information. From time to time, we share this information in aggregate with third parties. However, this data is reported only in aggregate and reveals no personal details about individual visitors to our site.

This policy is subject to change. Privacy issues represent a growing concern for all Web users. To keep up-to-date with Vincera, Inc.'s policies, please check this page frequently.
