VERSANT CORPORATION PRIVACY POLICY
Versant's commitment to privacy
Protecting the security and privacy of your personal information is important to
Versant and to the way we conduct our business in compliance with laws on privacy
and data protection in the countries in which we operate. We hope this Privacy Policy
will help you understand what personal information is collected by Versant, how
it is used and with whom it may be shared.
AUTOMATIC COLLECTION OF NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
When you access our Website, we automatically collect anonymous "clickstream" information
that is not personally identifiable, such as type of Internet browser and computer
operating system used; domain name of the website from which you linked; number
of visits; average time spent; pages viewed. There is no association made between
this information and your identity. We may use this information and share it with
our worldwide affiliates to measure the use of our Website and improve its content.
COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGY
Versant uses "cookies" to collect or store any information about you or your computer.
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when
you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the
site uses to track the pages you've visited, but the only personal information a
cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data
off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of Versant's
website may use cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine
the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective
our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.
If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set your
browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser
alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off
in your browser, although you may not be able to take full advantage of Versant's
website if you do so. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use/navigate
through many parts of our website, except access to certain of Versant's web pages
require a login and password.
