SCYSA Privacy Policy & Terms of
Use

SCYSA is committed to respecting your right to privacy
while using our site. This Privacy Policy contains information
regarding our privacy practices for the entire SCYSA site
(including www.SCYSA.org and SCYSA.org).

Information Collection and Use

SCYSA is the sole owner of the customer information collected
on this site. We will not share this information in any
ways other than those disclosed in this statement. SCYSA
collects information from our users at several points on
our website.

Information Requests

Throughout our site, you are provided with the opportunity
to contact us via email to ask questions, request information
and materials, register for online presentations, or provide
comments and suggestions. You may also be offered the opportunity
to have one of our representatives contact you.. We may
request additional personal information from you, such as
your name and telephone number, to help us satisfy your
request.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive,
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie
provides user benefits and is in no way linked to any personally
identifiable information while on our site. For example,
by setting a cookie on our site a user would not have to
enter a password more than once. If a user rejects the cookie,
they may still use our site, though some areas may be functionally
limited. For example, a user will not be able to take full
advantage of our mailing list subscription tools. Cookies
also enable us to track and target the interests of our
users to enhance the onsite experience.

Log Files

Our website servers generate standard traffic log files.
We use these files to prepare aggregate traffic statistics
for our site. There is no personally-identifiable information
in these log files. We use IP addresses and cookie values
to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movements,
and gather broad demographic information to improve the
performance of our site.

Requested Services and Product Evaluations

We communicate with the user to provide requested services
and in regards to issues relating to their account via email
or phone. Two expiration reminder notices are sent by email
to users who have obtained a trial license for one of our
products.

SCYSA Newsletters

When a user enrolls for SCYSA news, they will be asked to
provide certain personal information in order for us to
create their online account. The user's information may
be used for occasional mailings from SCYSA sponsors.

Ordering

We request user information on our order form. A user may
be asked to provide contact information (e.g. name and shipping
address) and financial information (e.g. credit card number,
expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes
and to fulfill orders. If we have difficulty processing
an order, the contact information is used to contact the
customer.

Surveys & Contests

From time to time, our site requests information from users
via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys
or contests is completely voluntary and the user can decide
whether or not to disclose their information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name
and shipping address), and demographic information (such
as zip code and age range). Contact information will be
used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information
will be used for purposes of improving our products and
our site.

Mailing lists

Users are offered the option of subscribing to relevant
mailing lists at various other locations throughout the
site, for reasons of user convenience only. It is not necessary
to subscribe to any SCYSA mailing list to use our Web site
or purchase our products. SCYSA includes archives of mailing
lists taken from our membership records. SCYSA cannot guarantee
that SCYSA members will not receive emails from SCYSA. However,
non-SCYSA members will not receive emails once they unsubscribe
from the SCYSA subscription list.

Security

Our Web site takes every precaution to protect our users'
information. When a user submits sensitive information,
the information is protected both online and offline. Where
our registration/order form requires sensitive information
(such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted
with SSL, the best encryption software in the industry.
While on a secure page such as our order form, the lock
icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed
to unlocked or open.

Suppliers

We outsource shipping and credit card processing. The companies
that perform these services do not retain, share, store
or use personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes.

Links

This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that SCYSA is not responsible for the privacy practices
of other sites. We encourage our users to be aware of when
they leave our site, and to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by the SCYSA Web site.

Public Forums

SCYSA makes mailing list archives, chat rooms, forums, message
boards, and/or news groups available to its users. As any
information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public,
caution should be exercised when disclosing personal information.

Opting Out

Periodically, SCYSA notifies our users of new products,
announcements, upgrades, news and updates.

If you would prefer not to receive these notifications,
please update your preferences at: http://www.SCYSA.org/subscribe.shtml

Please be aware that you may not opt out of receiving information
regarding the initial use, evaluation, or expiration of
our products or services.

Notification of Changes

If we change our privacy policy, we will post notification
of those changes on our homepage so our users are aware
of changes to the information we collect, how it is used,
and under which circumstances, if any, it is disclosed.
If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we will notify users by email. Users
will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information
in this different manner. We will use information in accordance
with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.

Questions

If you have questions, or if you feel we are in violation
of this privacy policy, please email webmaster@SCYSA.org.
