A bit of humor at the beginning if you have decided to actually read a Privacy Statement. This IS NOT part of our privacy policy, but it is part of another competitor's statements:
"Except for cookies that may be sent to your computer by XXXXXXX Service third-party advertisers, and except for automatically-collected information as above provided to third-party tracking technologies, XXXXXXX will not disclose your information to other organizations unless required by law . . . " Pathagoras' privacy statement is intended to assure you that we keep your information PRIVATE! Be careful out there. PRIVACY STATEMENT Innovative Software Products of Virginia,
LLC, (ISPV) and the creator of Pathagoras™, recognize that you expect privacy
and security for the non-public personal information we collect from you. We
fully understand the need to safeguard sensitive information about you and we maintain
standards and procedures designed to prevent misuse of this information. General: We collect, retain, and use information about you only to
help us administer our products and services, your entitlement to the same, and
to prevent abuse or fraud. We do not provide non-public personal information to other
companies including independent telemarketing or direct mail marketing
companies. We gather information about you to properly identify you,
to validate your identity, and to verify any entitlements to upgrades, and
entitlement to purchase additional licenses at discounted prices. Our web site contains links to other sites, in particular PayPal.com
and affiliates of PayPay (e.g., BrainTree), for the processing of orders using those
third parties. Our subscription page (to sign up for 90 trial links to
GetResponse.com, a newsletter mailing service which maintains information that
you provided about your name, phone number (if provided at the time you signed
up) and email address. Pathagoras is not responsible for the privacy practices
or the content of those Web sites, but we have have studied and are satisfied
that the first tier of links provided by those services (process the credit
card transactions and to properly maintain subscription and download
information) properly protect the privacy of those who link thereto. The United States federal government, some individual
states, the European Union, and in the future, other countries, have (or will) set
online privacy standards and have identified certain principles and guidelines to
help ensure the protection of a consumer's non-public personal information. We
intend to abide by those standards, and to that end provide the following
notices. Notice: It is our policy
to treat all information you provide to us as confidential. We do not and will
not disclose information to third parties about your account or the transactions

It is necessary to disclose your non-public personal
information to the companies which will process credit card transactions that
you have authorized for the initial purchase of Pathagoras (whether Pathagoras
‘on earth’ or Pathagoras On Cloud, and whether an outright purchase or a
subscription), and for the renewal of any Support Agreements where you have
specidfically authorized us to maintain such information in order to renew
those services on a monthly basis. (In this regard, we only provide a ‘flow
through service.’ We do not gather or maintain any of your credit card information at
our site, but rather link you by secure connection to those third parties.
Those third parties collect the necessary credit card information directly from
you, and do not provide that information back to us. Upon confirmation of the
purchase or subscription, or renewal, only your name, date of purchase or
renewal and your email address are forwarded to us. We use only thoroughly vetted and well known third party processors (currently PayPal and BrainTree -- a PayPal affiliate. All third party processors

security in effecting the transaction in order to ensure the protection of your
non-public personal information. ·
