intended for use by consumers or for personal, family

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.
