Information Gathered and Tracked by IVI Technologies

Organizational and Personal Information You Knowingly Give Us.

Within our web sites, you may be asked to give us personal or organizational information in order to purchase or receive information about a product or service. We may collect this information through different methods, including:

  • Registration Forms. We encourage all visitors to register with IVI Technologies, although registration is not required, except for access to our premium content areas. The registration forms require users to give us accurate contact information (like name and email address) and references that help us better serve you. Your name and email address may be used to send you information about our company, product updates, special offers, and newsletters. To opt out of receiving communications from IVI Technologies, please Contact Us.
  • Order Forms and Enrollment Forms. Our order forms securely collect visitor’s contact information and financial information (like your credit card number and other billing information). Contact information on the order form is used for order fulfillment and may be shared with our Partners or Resellers if that is necessary to fulfill your request. The information that we require in our order form is only used to process your order quickly and accurately. Your contact information will only be used to send you the product that you purchase and your billing information will only be used to bill you for that product. During the purchasing process, you may be given the opportunity to sign up for future e-mailings regarding our products, services, and promotions. If you sign up, we will share your contact information with other IVI Technologies partner companies only, not with other outside companies.

You may also be given the option of registering a profile with us which would store your name, purchase history, and billing information to make it easier for you to shop and purchase products/services from us in the future. You may opt out of this feature at any time by changing/canceling your profile online.

IVI Technologies may collect other information, including, but not necessarily limited to:

  • Contact information, such as name, physical address, telephone number(s), email address, and company. The majority of the information collected under this category is business contact information and when this information is collected in forms on our web site, it is collected and/or transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
  • Transactional information, including information about the products and services you purchase or download or about which you make an inquiry.
  • User preferences, such as product requirements, areas of industry interest, newsletters, community choices and other information you select in the customer profile when registering on IVI Technologies’s web site or indicated by your use of the IVI Technologies web sites.
  • Financial/credit card and payment information.
  • Event and conference participation information, such as lectures, classes or booths attended or visited during an event or conference hosted or attended by IVI Technologies. If we use electronic tracking technologies at an event, we will provide notice in the event registration materials and/or correspondence.

We may also supplement information you provide with information received from third parties.
