Collection of personal information
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal information. In connection with other activities, such as subscribing to the collaboration services offered on the Site or utilizing online software applications, BLANCHARDesign may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form.

When you use the Site, BLANCHARDesign or third parties authorized by BLANCHARDesign may also collect certain technical and routing information about your computer to facilitate your use of the Site and its services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer. We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track your use of the Site and its services. BLANCHARDesign also uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Site. Without expressly informing you in each particular circumstance, we do not match such information with any of your personal information.
When you submit personal information to BLANCHARDesign through this Site, you understand and agree that this information may be transferred across national boundaries and may be stored and processed in any of the countries in which BLANCHARDesign and its affiliates and subsidiaries maintain offices, including, without limitation, the United States. You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities, the collection, transferring, storage, and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted vendors of BLANCHARDesign. Such vendors are bound by contract not to use your personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties.
BLANCHARDesign has established relationships with various service providers whose services are available to you from this Site or from Web sites that are linked to this Site. Typically, these providers offer services that BLANCHARDesign customers might find useful, such as those that can be used in conjunction with BLANCHARDesign services and products. In order to use those services, you may be required to provide personal information to the providers. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, personal information that you provide while you are visiting a provider's Web site will be subject to the privacy policy posted on such site, and personal information that you provide while on this Site in conjunction with a provider's service will be subject to this Privacy Policy. You should be aware that our agreements with these service providers often provide that they will share with BLANCHARDesign personal information collected from you. In such instances, BLANCHARDesign may use this information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
How your personal information is used
BLANCHARDesign collects your information in order to record and support your participation in the activities you select. If you subscribe to a service or register a product, for example, the information is used to register your rights, if any, to technical support or other benefits that may be made available to registered users. As another example, if you enter a contest, information is collected to qualify the entry and contact you regarding the contest or prize awards. Your personal information is also used to keep you informed about product upgrades, special offers, and other products and services of BLANCHARDesign and selected third parties.

Your choices with respect to personal information
BLANCHARDesign recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use of information collected on this Site. Without your consent, BLANCHARDesign will not communicate any information to you regarding products, services and special offers available from BLANCHARDesign, although we may find it necessary to communicate with you regarding your use of the services on this Site. Except in the particular circumstances described in this Privacy Policy, BLANCHARDesign will also not provide your name to other companies or organizations without your consent.
There are other instances in which BLANCHARDesign may divulge your personal information. BLANCHARDesign may provide your personal information if necessary, in BLANCHARDesign's good faith judgment, to comply with laws or regulations of a governmental or regulatory body or in response to a valid subpoena, warrant, or order or to protect the rights of BLANCHARDesign or others.
Protection of your personal information
The personal information that you provide in connection with registering yourself as a user of BLANCHARDesign products or services or registering an BLANCHARDesign product is classified as Registration Information. Registration Information is protected in several ways. Access by you to your Registration Information is available through a password and unique customer ID selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. In addition, your Registration Information resides on a secure server that only selected BLANCHARDesign personnel and contractors have access to via password. BLANCHARDesign encrypts your personal information and thereby strives to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to BLANCHARDesign.
Personal information that you provide that does not constitute Registration Information also resides on a secure server and is accessible only to selected BLANCHARDesign personnel and contractors via password. Since this information is not accessible by you, you will not be asked to select a password in order to view or modify such information.
