Circle Systems and Stat / Transfer Privacy Policy

Circle Systems (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the stattransfer.com website and develops and markets Stat/Transfer software (hereinafter referred to as the “Service”).

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Definitions

Information Collection and Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Data”). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

We may use your Personal Data to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or instructions provided in any email we send or by contacting us.

User Data

Stst/Transfer is always installed on the user's personal computer or network server. It is never accessed on a server that is under our control. We cannot and will not transmit, examine, or store the actual user data that you transfer. Therefore the security of these data are entirely under your control

User Data Submitted for Technical Support

We may sometimes request that users voluntarily submit their datasets to help diagnose technical problems that they are having with our software. When this data is submitted through our application it is encrypted in transit to our server. Whether the user submits it through our error report mechanism or by uploading to our ftp server, we use the data solely for diagnostic and debugging purposes and securely delete it when we are done.

Usage Data from Web Site

We may also collect information on how the Service is accessed and used (“Usage Data”). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

Usage Data from Stat/Transfer Software

Stat/Transfer’s activation system uses a machine identifier which is sent to our servers in the form of a one-way hash. This technique identifies the unique characteristics of a computer, but does not allow us, or anyone else to decode what those characteristics are. Also, by default, the software will send data on software usage, including the formats transferred, the number of cases and variables and the time the transfers took. These data are used by us to set our development priorities in accordance with the ways in which our software is actually used. These data are identified by a one-way hash that makes it impossible to identify the individual user of the software or the machine being used. Thus neither we nor anyone else can identify individual software users or their usage patterns. However, if you wish, you can opt out of this data collection by setting the appropriate option in the Stat/Transfer program.

Tracking & Cookies Data
