Why we collect personal information
IDELIX collects and uses your personal information to give you superior customer service,
to provide you with convenient access to our products and services, and to make a wider range
of services available to you. In addition, we use your personal information to keep you up to
date on the latest product announcements, software updates, special offers, and other
information we think you'd like to hear about. This may occasionally include information
from other technology companies about products and services that can add value to your
IDELIX products. From time to time, we may also use your personal information to contact
you to participate in a market research survey, so that we can gauge customer satisfaction
and develop better products.
How we collect personal information
We may collect information about you in several ways. For example, we might ask for your
contact information when you correspond with us, call us to make a purchase or request service,
register to attend a seminar, or participate in an online survey. In addition, when you register
a new IDELIX product, sign up for IDELIX web-based services, or ask to be included in an email
mailing list, we collect and store the information you provide in a secure database.
When we disclose personal information
IDELIX may occasionally share your personal contact information with carefully selected
technology companies to keep you informed about related products and services. This is
typically done in aggregate form. For example, when new software is released, we may work
with the PDT host application developer to ensure that you're aware of the latest IDELIX
software available. If you do not want to receive promotional information from IDELIX or
these technology companies, click
service@idelix
and request that your name be taken off
the mailing list.
IDELIX works with other companies that help us deliver IDELIX products and services to you,
and we may provide your personal information to these companies. For example, we give shipping
companies this information so they can deliver your products efficiently. The information
they receive is for shipping and delivery purposes only, and we require that the companies
safeguard your personal information in accordance with IDELIX's policies.
At times we may be required by law or legal process to disclose your personal information.
We may also disclose information about you if we believe that disclosure is necessary for
the public interest.
How we protect your personal information
IDELIX safeguards the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures.
The IDELIX Online Store uses Internet Secure as their credit card processor.
Since 1996, Internet Secure has been approved by the top five Canadian banks to provide
secure, online, real-time credit card processing for certified Internet merchants. All credit
cards presented to InternetSecure are securely directed to the financial institution that
issued the credit card, no matter where in the world. You, the customer, are notified of
approval or decline within 15 to 30 seconds depending on your Internet connection. To ensure
consumer privacy, InternetSecure will not sell, rent or divulge any personal information about
this transaction to any third party other than IDELIX. To make purchases from the IDELIX
Online Store, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later,
or Internet Explorer. This protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card
information while it is transmitted over the Internet.

Collecting other personal information
When you browse IDELIX's website, you are able to do so anonymously. Generally, we don't
collect personal information when you browse.
Like many websites, the IDELIX website uses "cookie" technology. When you first connect to our
site, the cookie identifies your browser with a unique, random number. The cookies we use do
not reveal any personal information about you. Cookies help us understand which parts of our
websites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they spend there.
We use cookies to study traffic patterns on our site so we can make the site even better.
In some of our email to you, we use a "click-through URL." When you click one of these URLs,
you pass through our web server before arriving at the website that is your destination. We
track click-throughs to help us determine your interest in particular topics and measure the
effectiveness of our customer communications.
Our companywide commitment to privacy
To ensure that your personal information remains confidential, we communicate these privacy
guidelines to every IDELIX employee.
IDELIX does not knowingly solicit personal information from children or send them requests
for personal information.
If we are going to use your personal information differently from that stated at the time of
collection, we will try to contact you via email using the most recent information we have.
If you have not given us permission to communicate with you, you will not be contacted, nor
will we use your personal information in a new manner.
The IDELIX Customer Privacy Policy is subject to change at any time. We encourage you to
review the privacy policy regularly for any changes.
