like to be treated ourselves, and we tried to give you
as much control as possible over your personal data. In
general, you can visit our website and download
evaluation versions of our software without telling us
who you are or revealing any other information about
yourself.

privacy and data processing, we inform you that any
personal data that we collect is stored and processed on

stored in the United States, in the European Union and
in any other country.

our products and services, and to inform customers and
users about major news regarding our products and
services. When data is collected for other purposes,
this is stated.Personal data is not sold or otherwise
forwarded to unrelated third parties, unless we are
required to respond to subpoenas, court orders or other
legitimate requests from law enforcement or government
authorities.
We use different regional development, publishing,
sales and support organizations which adhere to
equivalent privacy policies, and information may be
shared among these units as required to permit them to
perform their obligations to us. We require these
organizations to undertake to protect personal

of 16.
Web Server Logs,
Cookies
Accesses to our web servers are logged in standard
internet web server log files, which include date and
time information and the IP address (domain) of the
internet client (e.g. your web browser). No email
addresses are collected in this process.
We use cookies to provide for "clickstream" logs of
website activity. These logs are useful to better
understand what web visitors in general are looking for
and how a site can be improved. Cookies are optional:
the site remains accessible even to internet clients
which do not support cookies, or in which such support
has been disabled.
We use
Google Analytics and
Quantcast to
study our website traffic. These systems also use
cookies, and have separate privacy policies on their
respective sites.
We do not host third-party banners which employ
cookies.
Security of Personal
Information
We have implemented industry-standard security
practices and procedures to protect data from loss,
misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration
and destruction. We do not store personal data on the
same computers which also function as web servers.
Email Communications
Should you contact us by email, you may receive a
personal (manually-sent) and/or an automatic reply,
which may include the full or partial body of your
original message, as well as other information related
to your message. Automatic procedures as well as human
error may cause our replies to be sent to the "From"
and/or "Reply To" email address of your message, even if
in the message body you specifically ask that replies be
sent to a different address.
In order to protect our customers from being
unknowingly misrepresented by third parties, when we
receive a request concerning a registered product (e.g.
in the case of a lost order file or license key, or when
a change of email address is requested) we may also
contact and/or reply to the email address which was
originally registered for that product.
Online Access by Calculator and Converter Apps (Free Services)
Currency Systems makes available at no charge client
applications such as WorldCalc and Euro Calculator for
Windows (all versions), Currency for Windows (Universal
app), and Currency Converter for Google Desktop. These
applications do not collect, store or transmit any
personal information.
While some of these client applications may work with
an initial set of built-in exchange rates without
requiring internet access, these applications need to
connect to the
Currency System infrastructure (servers) to access
updated exchange rate data. When such accesses occur,
the IP address of the client becomes known to the
server. Currency System does not record or otherwise use
this information.
Online Access by
Currency Server (Subscription Services)
When the Currency Server software connects to the
Currency System infrastructure (servers) to access services which are
not available to the general public, but only as part of
a subscription service (which may be included with a
licensed product), the client IP address and the product or service license key
may be transmitted as part of the procedure to log on to
the requested service. This information may be used for
license compliance purposes.
Content Delivery Networks
To offer the best possible performance, Currency
System may host data on the Windows Azure CDN (content
delivery network) system operated by Microsoft
Corporation. This means that if the client application
(e.g. the calculator and converter apps) or other
software (e.g. Currency Server) accesses data that
resides on the Azure CDN, parts of the
Windows Azure Privacy Statement may apply.
Online Orders
We do not process online orders directly, but rather
we prefer to work with some of the most reputable
e-commerce providers in the world. For your security and
safety, orders at the
Currency
System Online Store are processed by worldwide
leaders in online sales.
Our e-commerce partners provide us with order details
which include the customer's name, email and mailing
address. We store such information on systems which are
physically separate from our publicly accessible web
servers. We do not receive any payment or credit card
information. Please do not send us any credit
card-related information.
For additional information about the data that is
collected in relation to online orders please refer to
the privacy information provided by our e-commerce
partners.

our control. Please contact any such sites directly if
you wish to inquire about their privacy policies.

and use of the information you provide to us as outlined

and without notice. Should this privacy policy be
modified, any changes will be posted on this page, so
that you are always aware of what information is
collected, how it is used, and under what circumstances
it may be shared, if ever. If you wish to be promptly
informed about such changes, please consider that some
web browsers include the option to monitor a
"subscribed" or "favorite" page, and notify you when the
contents of the page changes. A similar functionality is
provided by various free online services.
No Guarantees
While this privacy policy states our standards for
maintenance of data and we will make efforts to meet
them, we are not in a position to guarantee these
standards. There may be factors beyond our control that
may result in disclosure of data. As a consequence, we
disclaim any warranties or representations relating to
maintenance or nondisclosure of data.
