Privacy Policy

COADE's business is built on trust, honesty, and integrity. These traits permeate all aspects of our operations, including our web site.

Occasionally, through the use of this web site, certain identification data may be requested from visitors. This data is acquired through the use of forms, filled out by the visitor, and transmitted to COADE as e-mail.

We recognize that you expect this information to be considered private and confidential. This information is used solely by COADE, Inc. We do not provide or sell this information to any outside sources. The information is added to our databases, and used only for follow-up contact, and mailing software sales information, seminar announcements, the COADE newsletter, and software update notifications.

Information is also acquired from visitors who download demonstration versions of our software, request information on our software, or request an ESL (External Software Lock) update. The information acquired is based on data entered by the visitor. No other data about a visitor is recorded by COADE.

COADE's ISP (Internet Service Provider) does maintain web access logs that allow them to monitor visits to each of their web sites. (The maintenance of web site logs is standard procedure for all ISPs.) The data acquired for these web logs consists of the IP address of the visitor, the date and time of the access, the type of browser used, what specific web pages were visited, and what page was current when the site was exited. Web access logs are used for the statistical analysis of the web site, to determine when traffic is highest and the most popular pages. This data does not identify specific users.

The COADE discussion forums are public in nature and anyone may browse their content. These discussion forums are intended as a source of free information exchange between our users and other interested parties. When submitting a message to these forums, visitors are asked for their e-mail address. This e-mail address becomes part of the message and is available to anyone accessing the forum.

Should any of your contact information change, your records at COADE can be updated by re-registering, or by contacting COADE directly. We feel it is imperative that we have up-to-date contact information on all users, so that we can keep you properly informed, and respond to support issues.

Questions about this web site, the data collected, and its uses may be e-mailed to query@coade.com, faxed to 281-890-3301, or telephoned to 281-890-4566. Inquiries should be directed to Richard Ay or Bill Evans.
