String Bean Software is committed to protecting your privacy. This statement explains data collection and use practices. This statement only applies to www.stringbeansoftware.com; it does not apply to other online or offline String Bean Software websites, products or services.

Information Collection & Use

Personal Information is generally requested when you are evaluating, purchasing and/or registering String Bean Software products, joining a limited-access area of our site, submitting an inquiry or participating in a test and/or survey.

Orders

Your orders are processed and shipped by a third-party, element 5. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If there is a problem processing an order, this information is used to contact you.  Please be sure to read element 5's Privacy Policy.

Customer Service

String Bean Software uses information collected from you to provide you with information about our products, to support your use of our products, to respond to your inquiries or to tailor our Web site to better serve you.

Tests/Surveys

We may provide you the opportunity to participate in tests and/or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these tests and surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and email address), and technical information (such as system configuration).

Log Files

As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes.  We use cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site.  Cookies are used during the shopping process.  Please be sure to read element 5's Privacy Policy.  Cookies are also used when a partner signs in to our restricted access area.  We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site. 

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Personal Information:

We DO NOT share Personal Information to any third-party other than element 5 as described above.

Links to Other Sites

This Web site contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by String Bean Software. Although our order page looks like you are still on our Web site, but in fact you are on element 5’s Web site. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.

We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information.

Use of Services

Please be sure you read the Forum Terms of Service before using bulletin boards, chat rooms, access to mailing lists or other message or communication facilities (collectively, "Forums") on our site.  Use of the Forum is an acknowledgement and agreement to abide by such Terms of Use

Legal Disclaimer

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web site

Changes in this Privacy Statement

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.
