Personal Information may be collected when it is provided by you with the intent to purchase or interact with us about a product or service we offer or provide; when it is automatically collected from your visit of our websites or use of our products and services; or when we obtain it from other sources, such as credit agencies.
Generally, when you submit or provide information to us, the Personal Information we collect may include the following: your name, company name, business address, business phone number, job title, and business e-mail address. More specifically, you may voluntarily provide us with your Personal Information in the following circumstances:
- Account Creation and Administration. When you sign up for an account to access one or more of our services, we ask for information like your first and last name, company name, business address, business phone number, job title, and business e-mail address.

Personal Information may be collected when it is provided by you with the intent to purchase or interact with us about a product or service we offer or provide; when it is automatically collected from your visit of our websites or use our products and services; or when we obtain it from other sources, such as credit agencies.
Generally, when you submit or provide information to us, the Personal Information we collect may include the following: your name, company name, business address, business phone number, job title, and business e-mail address.

Softlinx does not sell your Personal Information to third parties, and we maintain information about you in our business records while you are a customer, or until it is no longer needed for business, tax, or legal purposes. We have implemented appropriate security controls to protect Personal Information when stored or transmitted by Softlinx.
We share your Personal Information only with third parties that perform services on our behalf, and only as necessary for them to perform those services. We require those third parties to protect any Personal Information they may receive in a manner consistent with this policy, and we do not provide Personal Information to third parties for marketing of their own products and services without your consent. Softlinx may be required to disclose Personal Information to third parties in response to court orders or lawful requests by public authorities.
We have established policies and practices for our Customers and Users to limit certain types of solicitation communications from Softlinx, including marketing contacts made via telephone or e-mail. You may choose to stop receiving our newsletters or marketing e-mails or calls, and request to be removed from these telemarketing lists.
Information that you provide to third parties is not covered by this Policy. For example: When you download applications or make an online purchase from a third party while using Softlinx’s services, the information collected by the third party is not subject to this Policy. If you use public forums — such as social networking services, Internet bulletin boards, chat rooms, or blogs on Softlinx or third-party websites — you should be aware that any Personal Information you disclose publicly can be read, collected, or used by others.
