Passive Information Collection and Use

During your visit, the Site may passively collect certain kinds of information, e.g., without limitation, in the following circumstances:
Cookies: "Cookies" are small text files sent from a website to the hard drive of a user's computer to store bits of information related to that user. Cookies can store a variety of information, including IP addresses, navigational data, server information, data transfer times, user preferences, and passwords needed to access the special areas on the Site. If you configure your browser to reject cookies, you might not be able to access important functions or enjoy certain conveniences at the Site.

Other Passive Web site Tracking. The Site also uses Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and log files to identify server problems, to improve site content, and compile aggregated statistics about Site usage and clickstream data. RGM also may use Web beacons to help personalize your experience, similarly to how RGM uses cookies. Companies that help RGM place advertisements on RGM's site may use Web beacons to serve cookies and advertisements. RGM also may use Web beacons to gather non-personally identifiable information about the number of users who visit RGM's Web site, the areas which they spend their time visiting, and other demographic data. Only RGM and RGM's advertising agents will have access to the data obtained with Web beacons.
Most of the aforementioned data does not typically allow RGM to identify you personally, however, RGM reserves the right to combine such data with personal data that you actively submit (e.g., without limitation, by linking IP addresses collected passively to IP addresses collected in connection with active data submissions, e.g., in connection with submissions or requests from you through the Site).
The foregoing are only examples. RGM reserves the right to introduce similar new passive tracking technologies and techniques related to the use of the Site in compliance with applicable law.

Active Information Collection and Use

The Site actively collects personally identifiable information from you when you complete online forms or otherwise affirmatively provide such information. The kinds of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") that the Site may collect include, without limitation, your name, title, address, e-mail address, telephone number(s), facsimile number(s), credit card information, billing address, product limited warranty registration information, business name and comments.

RGM can actively collect Personal Information on the Site in many different ways, including when you send RGM an e-mail or submit a reply form, request an online newsletter or other materials or literature, submit information to inquire about the purchase of products or services, or submit a resume or other information in connection with a job opportunity.

RGM may use Personal Information for many reasons, including to communicate with you, for example, to answer the e-mail and correspondence RGM receives, to provide you with information about products and services, to take action to respond to an inquiry, to confirm your order, and to notify you of important changes in the functionality of the Site or other notices related to the handling of your Personal Information.
RGM may also use the Personal Information collected by the Site to market products and services to you. If you do not want to receive such marketing materials, please see the paragraph below entitled "Opt-Out."

In some instances, RGM may combine Personal Information collected by the Site with other kinds of information that is not covered by the scope of this Statement. For example, when you request product information or white papers online, RGM may create a customer profile by combining actively collected Personal Information (such as your name, address, telephone number(s) etc.) with other information such as your product purchase history; RGM might obtain information about your product purchase history from offline sources, such as your distributor, and processing of such data is not covered by this Statement. In addition, please note that information collected passively about you (e.g., using navigational data or cookies) may also be linked to you, and therefore may become Personal Information.
