Forte Design Systems ("Forte") is committed to protecting your
privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our privacy practices for our website,
www.forteds.com, on the World Wide Web (the "Site").
You can travel through much of our Site without giving us any information
about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services
that you request. The following statement explains our information-gathering
and dissemination practices. Please read the complete Forte Privacy Policy.
Forte may periodically update this Privacy Policy. If so, Forte will post
the updated Privacy Policy on this Site. Forte encourages you to review this
Privacy Policy from time to time for any changes.
By using this Site or any products, services or programs provided through
the Site, you expressly consent to the use and disclosure of information as
described in this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE TERMS
BELOW, YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS SITE OR THE PRODUCTS, SERVICES OR PROGRAMS
OFFERED BY FORTE AT THIS SITE.
You may decide whether to proceed with any activity that requests
personally identifiable information. If you do not wish to provide the
requested information, however, you may not be able to complete the
transaction. In order to fully use this Site, you will be asked to complete
a registration form which asks for personally identifiable information such
as your name and email address. Forte uses this information to contact you
about products described on our Site in which you have expressed interest,
including informative emails/newsletters about Forte product upgrades,
product updates, new products, services and to provide you with special
offers that may be of interest to you. In addition, some products on the
Site may be available for downloading, and you may be required to submit a
brief form prior to downloading these product files. If you request
technical support online, we may ask you for information necessary to assist
you, such as your name, email address and information about your computer
hardware, software and the nature of the problem you are experiencing.
In the event you no longer wish to receive such information, you may
choose to opt out of receiving further communications by complying with the
procedures listed in the "Choice/Opt-Out" section of this Privacy Policy.
Except as described herein, Forte will only disclose your personally
identifiable information to third parties if acting under a good faith
belief that such action is necessary (1) to conform to legal requirements;
(2) to protect and defend the rights or property of Forte; (3) to enforce
the Forte Terms of Use; or (4) in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale
of all or substantially all Forte's assets relating to the business in
connection with which the information was collected.
If you have been explicitly referred to this Site
from a third party site with which Forte is affiliated, we may disclose
personally identifiable information to the third party with regard
specifically to the referral.
In order to improve access on our Site, we use "cookies." A cookie is a
small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a Web server and
can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your
identification card, and allows you to quickly sign into the Site. It cannot
be executed as code or deliver viruses. If you want to sign into the Site,
your browser must be set up to accept cookies. (This is generally the
default setting.) Users choosing not to accept cookies will not be able to
sign into the Site and may be restricted from certain web content. You may
access some information on the Site without
revealing your identity and accepting cookies.
We do keep track of the domains from which you visit us on the World Wide
Web, and log IP addresses for statistical purposes. We do this to gather
broad demographic information for aggregate use to identify and analyze
trends and the results of our marketing efforts, to help diagnose problems
with our servers and to administer the Site, and analyze users' movements.
We may periodically share aggregate demographic information with our
business partners. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
The Site contains links to other Web sites. Please note that when you
click on one of these links, you are "clicking" to another Web site. We
encourage you to read the privacy policies of these linked sites, as their
privacy policies may differ from ours. This Privacy Policy applies solely to
information collected by Forte on this Site.
All information gathered on the Site is stored and maintained in secure
facilities. In addition, internal security provides that this information is
coded with restricted access, and our servers are kept in a secure, locked
environment that limits access to authorized personnel only. All Forte
employees are briefed about the company's privacy and security policies on a
regular basis. The Site is regularly tested for security breaches to ensure
that all information collected is secure from unauthorized viewing.
If you have any questions about the security at our Site or our privacy
policy, you can contact us in the following ways:
