LeverageIT Privacy Statement
This document was last updated January 23, 2006
LeverageIT is committed to protecting your privacy. You can visit most pages on our site without giving
us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services that you
request, and this privacy statement explains data collection and use in those situations. This privacy
statement only applies to leverageit.net; it does not apply to other online or offline LeverageIT sites,
products or services. Please read the complete leverageit.net privacy statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows
us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are registering before entering a
contest, ordering e-mail newsletters, joining a limited-access premium site, signing up for an event or
training, or when purchasing and/or registering LeverageIT products. Personal information collected by
leverageit.net often is limited to e-mail address, language, country or location, but may include other
information when needed to provide a service you requested.
For example: When you buy and install a new product, we may ask you to register your purchase
electronically. We keep this registration information on file with any information you've already given
us on previous visits to our Web site.
Leverageit.net also collects certain information about your computer hardware and software. This
information may include: your IP address, browser type, operating system, domain name, access times and
referring Web site addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain
quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of leverageit.net.
Leverageit.net also collects information about which pages our customers visit within leverageit.net.
This site visitation data is identified only by a unique ID number, and it is never linked with personal
information unless a user consents as described below.
Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for the following purposes:
• To ensure our site is relevant to your needs.
• To deliver services, such as newsletters, events, training or software, that you request or purchase.
• To help us create and publish content most relevant to you.
• To alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new services from LeverageIT, if you so request.
• To allow you access to limited-entry areas of our site as appropriate.
We will merge site-visitation data with anonymous demographic information for research purposes, and we may use this
information in aggregate to provide more relevant content. In some limited-entry sections of
leverageit.net, with your approval, we will combine site-visitation data with your personal information
in order to provide you with personalized content. If you decline permission, we will not provide you
the personalized service and won’t merge your personal information with site-visitation data.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging,
mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending
postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they
need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
LeverageIT may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith
belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal
process served on LeverageIT or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of LeverageIT
and its family of Web sites, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of
LeverageIT employees, users of LeverageIT products or services, or members of the public.
Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which
LeverageIT or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using this site, you
consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. LeverageIT abides by the safe
harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and
retention of data from the European
Union.
Control of your Personal Information

that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions
already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.

variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide in
computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit
