Web site Notice and Disclosure

In general, you may visit our Web sites without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. SIMVIA Development may collect certain information, such as domain, browser type or other descriptive data from your visit to customize and improve your experience on our Web site. Some portions of our SIMVIA Development Web sites - as well as email newsletters, or subscription forms for our print magazines - may ask you or require you to register and provide information that personally identifies you (such as your name, email or other address, subscriber number or ID). These instances include when you visit our sites and receive information such as article downloads, research/white papers, email newsletters, or respond to a marketing campaign, or when requesting us to post or publish information you send us. We use your personal information for three primary purposes:

· To improve the content of our web site, email newsletters, print magazines and other products and services.

· To alert you to product upgrades, updates and renewal information regarding the news/information products you use.

· To share special offers, product announcements and updated information, and other new services from SIMVIA Development, LLC.

In addition to the three principal ways that SIMVIA Development uses your personal information, we may also carefully select other companies to send you information about their products and services. Credit card numbers are only used for payment processing and are not retained for marketing purposes.

Opt-Out Choices

It is our intent to inform you before we collect personally identifiable information, and tell you what we intend to do with it. You will have the option of not providing the information, in which case you may still be able to access other portions of this Web site or to receive other information such as newsletters and magazines; however, if you choose to not provide information requested, you may be able to access only certain programs or services. In certain portions of our Web sites, we also may enable you to "opt out" of certain uses of your information, or elect not to receive future communications or services.
