Privacy Policy
This Privacy Statement
sets forth the information gathering, use, and dissemination
practices of Pegasus Systems, Inc. (“Pegasus”) in connection with the
World Wide Web site located at
www.pegasussystems.com
(the “Site”). This Privacy Statement addresses Pegasus’ practices
regarding information collected only directly through or from the
Site – it does not address or govern any information gathering, use,
or dissemination practices related to information collected other
than directly through or from the Site, including, without
limitation, from or via telephone, facsimile, postal mail, personal
delivery, or other or additional offline means or media. Pegasus can
be contacted by mail at P.O. Box 704, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044,
by phone at (215) 540-8901, by facsimile at (215) 540-8902, or by
e-mail at info@pegasussystems.com.
1. Collection of Personal Information from Site Visitors
Pegasus may collect or track (1) the home server domain names,
e-mail addresses, type of client computer, files downloaded, search
engine used, operating system, and type of Web browser of visitors
to the Site, (2) the e-mail addresses of visitors that communicate
with Pegasus via e-mail, (3) information knowingly provided by the
visitor in online forms, registration forms, surveys, e-mail,
contest entries, and other online avenues (including, without
limitation, demographic and personal profile data), and (4)
aggregate and user-specific information regarding which pages Site
visitors access.
Pegasus may place Internet “cookies” on visitors’ hard drives.
Internet cookies save data about individual visitors, such as the
visitor’s name, password, user-name, shopping cart, screen
preferences, and the pages of a site viewed by the visitor. When
the visitor revisits the Site, Pegasus may recognize the visitor by
the Internet cookie and customize the visitor’s experience
accordingly. Visitors may decline Internet cookies, if any, by
using the appropriate feature of their Web client software, if
available.
Pegasus also may use Web bugs to gather, store, and track certain
information related to your visit to and activity on the Site. A
Web “bug” is a file object, which can be a graphic image such as a
transparent one pixel-by-one pixel graphics file, which is placed on
a Web page or in an e-mail message to monitor user activity. A Web
bug can gather, for example, the IP address of your computer, the
time the Web page was viewed, and the type of browser used.
When a visitor performs a search within the Site, Pegasus may record
information identifying the visitor or linking the visitor to the
search performed. Pegasus may also record limited information for
every search request and use that information to solve technical
problems with the services available directly or indirectly in
connection with the Site and to calculate overall usage statistics.
2. Use of Personal Data Collected
Personal data collected by Pegasus may be used by Pegasus for many
reasons, for example, for editorial and feedback purposes, for
marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of
users’ behavior, for product development, for content improvement,
for fulfillment of a requested transaction or recordkeeping, or to
customize the content and layout of the Site. Aggregate data on
visitors’ home servers may be used for internal purposes, and
individually identifying information, such as names, postal and
e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and other personal information
which visitors voluntarily provide to Pegasus may be added to
Pegasus’ databases and used for future calls and mailings regarding
Site updates, new products and services, and upcoming events.
Pegasus also may use Site visitor data to contact the Site visitors
regarding account status and changes to the subscriber agreement,
privacy statement, and any other policies or agreements relevant to
Site visitors.
3. Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties
Aggregate data on visitors’ home servers may be provided to third
parties such as marketing firms, and individually identifying
information, such as names, postal and e-mail addresses, phone
numbers.
Identifiable and non-identifiable visitor information and data which
visitors provide to Pegasus may be provided to third parties who
provide products, information, or services which Pegasus believes
that visitors may be interested in directly or indirectly purchasing
or obtaining. Identifiable or non-identifiable data also may be
disclosed or distributed to another party with which Pegasus enters
or reasonably may enter into a corporate transaction, such as, for
example, a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or asset purchase, or
to a third party pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other form
of legal process, or in response to a request by or on behalf of any
local, state, federal, or other government agency, department, or
body, whether or not pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other
form of legal process.
While Pegasus may undertake efforts to see that any third party to
which Pegasus shares, rents, sells, or otherwise discloses personal
data is under a contractual obligation to use the personal data
solely for the purposes for which the data was disclosed, such third
parties are independent third parties over which Pegasus exercises
no control, and Pegasus is not responsible for their conduct,
actions, omissions, or information handling or dissemination
practices and Pegasus will not be liable therefor.
This Site may contain links to other World Wide Web sites or
advertisements for or placed by third parties. Pegasus is not
responsible for the privacy practices of such Web sites,
advertisers, or third parties, or for the content of such sites or
advertisements. It is possible that these links or advertisements,
themselves, may be used by third parties or others to collect
personal or other information about Site visitors. It is solely the
visitors’ obligation to review and understand the privacy practices
and policies of these other Web sites and of these advertisers and
third parties.
4. Security Measures
Pegasus has implemented numerous security features to prevent the
unauthorized release of or access to personal information. For
example, all employees are asked to sign confidentiality and
security agreements. Please be advised, however, that the
confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or
from Pegasus via this Site or e-mail cannot be guaranteed.
Accordingly, Pegasus is not responsible for the security of
information transmitted via the Internet. Instead of communicating
with Pegasus via e-mail or the Internet, visitors can contact
Pegasus by mail at P.O. Box 704, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044, by
phone at (215) 540-8901, or by facsimile at (215) 540-8902.
5. Opt-Out Right
Except as necessary for Pegasus to provide the services,
information, or products requested by a visitor, the visitor may opt
out of having his or her personally identifiable information, which
has been voluntarily provided to Pegasus through an account
registration, customer order, or electronic news or information
subscription, prospectively retained by Pegasus, used by Pegasus for
secondary purposes, or disclosed by Pegasus to third parties by
contacting Pegasus via postal mail, e-mail, or telephone at the
addresses set out above. (This does not apply to collection of the
type of Web browser of the visitor to the Site or to information
provided or collected that does not meet the above description.)
6. Access to and Ability to Correct Personal Data
Upon a visitor’s request via postal mail, e-mail, or phone, Pegasus
will provide to the visitor a summary of any personally identifiable
information retained by Pegasus regarding the visitor, which
information has been voluntarily provided to Pegasus through an
account registration, customer order, or electronic news or
information subscription. A visitor may modify, correct, change or
update their personally identifiable information by contacting
Pegasus via postal mail, e-mail, or telephone at the addresses or
numbers above.
7. Right to Change Privacy Statement
Pegasus may change this Privacy Statement at any time. Notice of
any new or revised Privacy Statement, as well as the location of the
new or revised statement, will be posted on the Site for at least 30
days after the change. It is the obligation of users visiting the
Site before the change to learn of changes to the Privacy Statement
since their last visit. Any change to this Privacy Statement shall
be effective as to any visitor who has visited the Site before the
change was made.
