We do not collect any personal information from a visitor
to our site unless that visitor explicitly and intentionally provides it. Under
no circumstances do we collect any personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin,
political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership,
health, or sex life. If you are simply browsing our site, we do not gather any personal

There are two ways in which you may explicitly and intentionally

E-mail Request for Information or Registrations for
Guides or Seminars - We use links throughout our site to provide you with the
opportunity to contact us via e-mail to ask questions, request information and materials,
or provide comments and suggestions. You may also be offered the opportunity to
have one of our representatives contact you personally to provide additional information
about our products or services. To do so, we may request additional personal information
from you, such as your name and telephone number, to help us satisfy your request.
Purchases - If you choose to purchase one of our
products or services, we will request certain information from you. Depending on
the type of product or service that you request, you may be asked to provide different
personal information. For certain products and services, we may require your name,
address, telephone number, e-mail address, and/or credit card number. Other products
and services may require different or supplemental information from you in order
to apply. For a detailed listing of the type of personal information requested for
our various products, please refer to the details page for the particular product

Statistical Information About Your Visit
When you visit our site, our computers may automatically

but rather about a visit to our site. We may monitor statistics such as how many
people visit our site, the user's IP address, which pages people visit, from which
domains our visitors come and which browsers people use. We use these statistics
about your visit for aggregation purposes only. These statistics are used to help
us improve the performance of our Web site.
Use of Cookies
We only use "cookies" as described in this Section. A
"cookie" is a piece of information that our Web site sends to your browser, which
then stores this information on your system. If a cookie is used, our Web site will
be able to "remember" information about you and your preferences either until you
exit your current browser window (if the cookie is temporary) or until you disable
or delete the cookie. Many users prefer to use cookies in order to help them navigate
a Web site as seamlessly as possible. You should be aware that cookies contain no
more information than you volunteer, and they are not able to "invade" your hard
drive and return to the sender with personal or other information from your computer.

How We Use and With Whom We Share the Information We Gather
We assure you that the information we gather from you
is used by us only as explained below.
Sending you responses and updates
We generally respond to any e-mail questions, requests
for product or service information, and other inquiries that we receive. We may
also retain this correspondence to improve our products, services, and Web site,
and for other disclosed purposes. Frequently we retain contact information so that
we can send individuals updates or other important information about our services
and products. Occasionally these updates or other important information may be sent
out by third parties on our behalf. Please be assured that any third party who contacts
you in this capacity has executed a confidentiality agreement with us that contains
a provision ensuring the privacy and security of any transferred information and
limits the third party's use of the shared information to sending updates or providing
services on our behalf. In situations where you have supplied your information in
connection with a question or request for information about a product or service
offered by a Graham business partner, we may also send the information you have
supplied to the Graham business partners that offer such products or services. Please
be assured that these Graham business partners have agreed to ensure the privacy
and security of any transferred information and may only use the shared information
to send you information about products or services about which you asked.
Facilitating the support, renewal, and purchase of
our products and services
We may use the information you submit to contact you to
discuss the support, renewal, and purchase of our products and services. We may
also provide the information you have submitted to us to a Graham subsidiary, business
partner, representative or Affiliate (either within or outside the United States)
so that the subsidiary, business partner, representative or Affiliate can contact
you and facilitate the support, renewal, and purchase of Graham products and services.
You may receive a communication directly from one of our subsidiaries, business
partners, representatives or Affiliates. Please be assured that any subsidiary,
business partner, representative or Affiliate who contacts you for one of these
purposes has agreed to use the information we supply only in accordance with a confidentiality
agreement.
Processing payments (if you are using our payment services)
If you use the Graham Payment Services for online transactions,
we may provide your personal information to appropriate financial institutions,
processors, and third parties under contract with Graham or our Affiliates for providing
a subset of the payment services (for example, credit authorization and fraud screening).
For financial institutions and processors, the use of personally identifiable consumer
information is governed by federal and state privacy laws. For other third parties
under contract with Graham, the use and distribution of your personal information
will be used by such entity for its internal use related to fulfilling the transaction
services for Graham, will be treated as confidential by this entity, and will be
transferred between Graham and this entity only via encrypted means. We may also
permit the merchant through which you placed your order to review the personal information
you provide. The merchant's use of your personal information should be governed
by your agreement with the merchant.
Disclosure by Law and Protection of Graham and Others
If we are required by law to disclose certain information
to local, state, federal, national or international government or law enforcement
authorities, we will do so (for example, we may disclose the identity of purchasers
of certain software products to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Export
Administration, as required under the terms of our export licenses). In addition,
Graham may share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding
illegal activities or suspected fraud, or enforce or apply Graham's agreements.
Surveys
From time-to-time we may request information from customers
via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user
therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Survey information
will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use of and satisfaction
with this Web site, and improving our customer service and product offerings.
Our Security Procedures
We consider the protection of all personally identifiable
information we receive from our Web site visitors and subscribers as critical to
our corporate mission. Please be assured that we have security measures in place
to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of any information we receive
from you. As with any transmission over the Internet, however, there is always some
element of risk involved in sending personal information. In order to try to minimize
this risk, we encrypt all information that you submit in ordering one of our products
or services using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
