Customer is solely responsible for any processing or international transfer of all PII in the Customer Content and agrees to comply with all applicable rules, laws and regulations in any and all applicable regions or countries related to the transfer of such PII.

The Data We Collect and How We Use It

Mars Software collects data from users for the following purposes:

• To engage in transactions for service. Name, address, email, purchase details, and credit card/payment information may be collected and stored as part of the transaction history. The majority of the data collected under this category is contact information. Mars Software may need to share some of this data (address, payment) with credit card clearing houses, banking institutions, and other similarly situated Agents, who may require the information in order to complete the transaction (as used here, "Agents" are persons or companies who act on behalf of or under the direction of Mars Software). Mars Software will not transfer information to any of its Agents unless it first either ascertains that the Agent subscribes to the Safe Harbor Principles or is subject to the EU Directive on Data Protection or another adequacy finding or enters into a written agreement with such Agent requiring that the Agent provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the relevant Safe Harbor Principles.
• To provide future service and support. Information collected for this purpose is both contact data and information related to products and service/support requested. This information is also used to provide service, product update, and similar notices.
• To select content, data may be collected to help create Site content and navigation that is most relevant and user friendly. This includes data collected as a result of site navigation, as well as data provided in forms.
• To respond to user inquiries and requests for information. This data includes registrations for online newsletters, opt-in mailing lists and specific requests for further information.
• To respond to law enforcement organizations, government officials, third parties when compelled by subpoena, court order, or applicable law, or to report or prevent suspected fraudulent or illegal activity in the use of the Services. Mars Software will notify Customer of the information request or submission as, and if, allowed.
• To our contractors who provide services or perform functions on our behalf.
• To our Affiliates, if we do so their use and disclosure of your PII will be subject to this PA.
• If we are acquired by or merged with another company, if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another company, or as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, we may transfer the information we have collected from you to another entity if applicable.
• To provide various Mars Software communities, such as resellers, with relevant product alerts and updates. These updates are related to product releases, prices, terms, special offers and associated campaigns. This data is sent when the program member signs up for the relevant program or online account.
• To better tailor marketing to User needs. We may use information from User purchases and User-specified requirements to provide you with timely and pertinent notices of Mars Software product releases and service developments that address your needs and specified requirements and/or which are similar to products and services previously purchased by the User from Mars Software.
• To better respond to requests for service or quotes for product and equipment purchase. Mars Software will pass contact information to the appropriate Mars Software sales person, or reseller for follow-up related to Mars Software products or services.
• From referral "tell a friend" function. If a User elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our Site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. Mars Software will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the Site and send a copy of said e-mail to the User. The e-mail(s) sent shall clearly identify the sender of such email(s). Mars Software uses this data for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. Such e¬mail sent to a friend at User’s request will not be stored for additional processing.
• As a result of your participation in interactive discussions and public forums. There are parts of the Site that permit you to participate in interactive discussions. Some of these are moderated; all are subject to access for technical reasons. Mars Software does not control the content that Users post and some may serve as public discussion forums. As in any interactive forum open to many Users, you should carefully consider whether you wish to submit data and should tailor any other content submitted accordingly.

Customer Portal, Customer Customization, Preferences and Opt-Out

New Customers are automatically registered for access at http://www.marssoftware.com/clients The Customer Portal allows Customers the ability to create users, add/delete users, add/delete user privileges and opt in (or out) of Services and mailing lists. The Customer Portal provides the Customers with control over their preferences for electronic information delivery.

Mars Software has also provided the Customer’s master user the ability to manage the Customer’s Account Information. We maintain the data and allow the Customer’s master user to update it at any time. To change this information, you must be a current Customer and login with a user ID and password and follow the prompts to "update my profile" on the Customer Portal. We continue to expand the profile of Services and information that you may access and update.

Please note that some email communications are not subject to general opt-out. These include communications related to downloads; communications about sales transactions; information about software updates, patches and fixes; disclosures to comply with legal requirements; and network upgrades or other related maintenance for Service.

If an individual’s PII is to be (a) disclosed to a Third Party who is not an Agent; or (b) used for a purpose that is incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual, then the individual will be notified prior to such disclosure and may opt-out of having the PII disclosed by responding to the email and/or author of the notification, where such information shall be clearly set forth.

Security

Mars Software is concerned with the security of the data we have collected and utilizes commercially reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access to that information. These measures include policies, procedures, employee training, physical access and technical elements relating to data access controls. In addition, Mars Software uses standard security protocols and mechanisms to facilitate the exchange and the transmission of sensitive data, such as credit card details. Mars Software does not process PII in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

In the event that PII is acquired, or is reasonably believed to have been acquired, by an unauthorized person and applicable law requires notification, Mars Software will notify the affected individual of the breach by email or ticket on the Customer Portal or, if Mars Software is unable to contact the individual by email or ticket on the Customer Portal, then by regular mail. Notice will be given promptly, consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement and any measures necessary for Mars Software or law enforcement to determine the scope of the breach and to ensure or restore the integrity of the data system. Mars Software may delay notification if Mars Software or a law enforcement agency determines that the notification will impede a criminal investigation, and in such case, notification will not be provided unless and until Mars Software or the agency determines that notification will not compromise the investigation.

Enforcement

Mars Software has established internal mechanisms to verify its ongoing adherence to its privacy policy, including the Safe Harbor Principles. Mars Software also encourages individuals covered by this privacy policy to raise any concerns about our processing of personal information by contacting Mars Software at the address below. Mars Software will seek to resolve any concerns. Mars Software has also agreed to participate in the dispute resolution program provided by the European Data Protection Authorities.

Policy Updates

In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect the PII already stored in our database, we will notify you by email or post a prominent notice on the Customer Portal notifying users of the change. In some cases, when we post the notice, we will also email users who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
