We request information from the user on our order form. A user

it will only be used in the matter for which it is intended as
described in this document. Your personal information will only be
used for:
Purchasing Web Audio Software
When you place an order for one of our web audio software
programs (including but not limited to Flash Audio Wizard, Impact
Web Audio, Web Audio Plus) we may share your information with the
developers of these products to enable then to provide software
update information. They will provide a way to opt-out of these

We respect your privacy and will not disclose or sell any of
your personal or business information for any reason other than

Cookies
Many websites including
www.websiteaudioreviews.com use cookies to improve the
experience of our users. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the
user's computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a
cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. We use both session ID cookies and
persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close
the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is
a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended
period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following
Internet browser help file directions.
The use of cookies on our site is simply to track where an
order has been referred from so we know where the most effective
places to advertise are and also to track how many times a user
has visited our site so they are only presented with a popup
invitation the first time they visit. This will prevent users
being inundated with popup windows every time they open a page. We
do not use cookies to store personal data nor do we link
non-personal information stored in cookies with personal data
about specific individuals.
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by
www.websiteaudioreviews.com only and does not cover the use of
cookies by any advertisers.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This
includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet
service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type,
date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends,
administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and
gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We may employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web
Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our site
by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny
graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies,
and are used to track the online movements of Web users. The main
difference between the two is that clear gifs are invisible on the
page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end
of this sentence. Clear gifs are not tied to users' personally
identifiable information.
In addition, we may use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to
let us know which emails have been opened by the recipients. This
allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and
the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If users would like
to opt-out of these emails, please see the Opt-out section.
Communications from the Site
Special Offers and Updates
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and
username. Established members will occasionally receive
information on products, services, special deals, and a
newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present
the option to not receive these types of communications. Please
see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for
contact information such as name and email address. Out of respect
for our users privacy we provide a way to opt-out of these
communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need
to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we
have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply
with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process
served on our Web site.
These are the instances in which we will share users' personal
information:
Marketing Partners:
Where an order has been placed by a user as a result of the
customer being contacted by a third party marketing partner the
order details will be passed to the marketing partner whose own
privacy and opt-out policy will then apply.
Third Party Intermediaries
We use a credit card processing company to bill users for goods
and services. This company does not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Business Transitions
In the event Sytec Computers Ltd goes through a business
transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company,
or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information
will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users
will be notified via email or prominent notice on our Web site for
30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of their
personal information. If as a result of the business transition,
the users' personally identifiable information will be used in a
manner different from that stated at the time of collection they
will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes
section.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their
information used for purposes not directly related to our site at
the point where we ask for information.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and
promotional communications may opt-out of receiving these
communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in
the email.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is
being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users
can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should
proceed with services that require an outside party.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that
we, Sytec Computers Ltd, are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware
when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of
each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Surveys [& Contests]
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via
surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is
completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether
or not to disclose this information. The requested information
typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping
address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Contact
information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes.
Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users' personally
identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless
we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary
to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users'
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a
friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email
address. Sytec Computers Ltd will automatically send the friend a
one-time email inviting them to visit the site. Sytec Computers
Ltd does not store this information and it's sole purpose is for
sending this one-time email.
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users'
information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web
site, their information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security
number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the
best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure
page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when
users are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just
the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our
offices. Only personnel who need the information to perform a
specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal
Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as
zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer
desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or
delete/deactivate users' personally identifiable information. This
can be done by using the contact form
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes to this privacy statement and other places we deem
appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we
disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the
privacy policy under which the information was collected.
If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the time of
collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a
choice as to whether or not we use their information in this
different manner. However, if users have opted out of all
communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account,
then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal
information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make
any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect
user information already stored in our database, we will post a
prominent notice on our Web site notifying users of the change. In
some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who
have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of
the changes in our privacy practices.

policy, please contact us at:
