Privacy 
The BotSpot Web site is published by Cybion SA. Because Cybion wants to demonstrate its commitment to our users' privacy, it has agreed to disclose its information practices.
This privacy statement covers the site http://www.botspot.com. It covers only information that is collected through this Web site, and does not cover information that may be collected through software downloaded from the site.
Cybion collects information from our users at different points on our Web site. We monitor visitor activity on the site in order to evaluate and improve the services that we offer. Cybion is the sole owner of the information collected on BotSpot.
Access to BotSpot
You can access our Web site home page and browse our site without disclosing your personal data.
Personally identifiable data
The only personably identifiable data that we collect is the e-mail address provided when users
-
subscribe to the newsletter
-
subscribe to the mailing list
-
use the 'Recommend this site' feature.
In each case, the e-mail address is collected solely for the purpose of providing the requested service.
Cookies
We use persistent cookies to analyze navigational patterns and improve usability. A persistent cookie is a small text file tied to information about the user that is 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.
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.
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.
We do not automatically log personal data nor do we link information automatically logged by other means with personal data about specific individuals.
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 gender and country of origin). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Anonymous survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving user experience and satisfaction with this site. Users' personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties.
Mailing List
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on the mailing list - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, by posting personal information online that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Information from children
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Information from third party sources
We do not collect information about our visitors from other sources, such as public records or bodies, or private organisations.
Sharing
We DO NOT Share Personal Information with Third Parties.
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.
Business Transitions
In the event Cybion 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.
Newsletter
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter may opt-out of receiving these communications by using the form at http://www.botspot.com/common/unsubscribe.html, or the user may contact us at webmaster@botspot.com to opt-out.
'Recommend this site'
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. Cybion will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. Cybion stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact Cybion at webmaster@botspot.com to request the removal of this information from our database.
Third Party Advertising
The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to users by our Web advertising partners, Tribal Fusion and FastClick. Information about users' visit to this site, such as number of times they have viewed an ad (but not user name, address, or other personal information), is used to serve ads to users on this site. For more information about Tribal Fusion, FastClick, cookies, and how to "opt-out", please visit the following links:

Third Party Service Providers
We partner with other third parties including RegNow, Element5, etc. to provide specific services, for example, e-commerce companies to bill users for goods and services. In certain cases, the third party order/registration page is co-branded using the BotSpot design.
Third party service providers request information from the user when ordering/registering software. A user must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. Personally identifiable information is not supplied to Cybion by these third parties. See the Security section below for information on security at third-party service providers.
The privacy policies of third party service providers can be reviewed at the following locations:

Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, Cybion, 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.
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our information supplied by users, such as e-mail addresses. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line.
BotSpot.com does not collect or receive a copy of any information entered on the order form of third-party service providers.
When the registration/order form from a third-party service provider asks users to enter sensitive information (such as their credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as the third-party 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'.
If users have any questions about the security at our Web site, users can send an email to webmaster@botspot.com.
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.
If users have any questions or suggestions regarding our privacy policy, please contact us at:
