Privacy Policy
Protecting Your Information
Your privacy is important to us. We safeguard your data through industry standard processes and procedures.
Encryption
Datawatch Corporation always uses industry standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving any data that you exchange with our site. We employ the same industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology that is used by major banks and stock brokerage firms to conduct business via the Internet. This encryption procedure "scrambles" the information you send to us and makes online transactions extremely safe. Despite what you may have heard, it is not a simple "hack" to intercept your personal info and decode it. Billions of dollars of transactions are conducted via the web every day.
In order to communicate securely with Datawatch, you will need a browser with 128-bit SSL encryption. This includes Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and above, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari. If you have an earlier version of any of these browsers, please visit the developer's website for an update.
For Datawatch Online purchases, when we transfer and receive certain types of sensitive information over the Internet, such as financial information, you will be redirected to a secure server and we will notify you, depending on the type of browser you are using, through a pop-up dialogue box or a "padlock" icon displayed in the bottom of the browser window, as well as the URL beginning with "https" instead of "http" in the address bar. We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you via this site.
Authentic Sites like Datawatch.com use a Secure Server Digital ID to offer proof of identity, to enable secure communications and to encrypt transactions with site visitors through their web browser connections. The only way to be sure of a web site's authenticity is to view the site's Digital ID. Viewing a site's ID assures that you are not being "spoofed" (i.e. the site is real and not an imposter) since it contains:
- The name of the company which owns the web site (e.g. Datawatch Corporation)
- The site's registered Internet address (e.g. www.datawatch.com)
- The name of the Secure Server Certification Authority under which the Digital ID was issued
Personally Identifiable Information
We don't share or sell any of your personal information. As necessary, we may share non-personal information with our trusted third party service providers, such as the corporations that manage or host our website, to perform services on our behalf. They typically use non-personal, anonymous information-like "clickstream" information regarding visit statistics-that isn't identifiable with a particular visitor to further improve the website.
