5. Who we share your information with

IronCAD will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others. IronCAD will not share your personal information with third parties except in responding to your requests for products or services. Your permission will be requested when you submit your information. IronCAD shares customer information across IronCAD-owned business entities and companies working on our behalf, but only as described above in “How we use your information.”

IronCAD contracts with third-party service providers and suppliers to deliver complete products, services and customer solutions described in “How we use your information.” Suppliers and service providers are required to keep confidential the information received on behalf of IronCAD and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for IronCAD. These service providers may change or we may contract with additional service providers to better accommodate our customers. IronCAD will not share personal information with any other third parties without your permission, unless required by law enforcement action, subpoena, or local law.

IronCAD or its related entities could merge with or be acquired by another business entity or some or all of their respective assets could be acquired. If such a combination or acquisition occurs, IronCAD will make every reasonable effort to notify you in the event we share with the merging or acquiring entity some or all of your personal information to continue serving you.

6. Your information and third-party companies

Certain IronCAD services are linked with those from unrelated third-party companies, some which offer you the option to share with both IronCAD and the third party personal data you provide. Examples include the ability to register software products from multiple vendors from a single IronCAD Web page, to request communications from IronCAD marketing or solution partners, or to enable order completion through a reseller. We will not share your personal information with those third-party companies unless you make that choice.

7. Access to and accuracy of your information

IronCAD strives to keep your personal information accurate. We have implemented technology, management processes and policies to maintain customer data accuracy. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as a password and user ID, before granting access to sensitive online data. Certain areas of IronCAD’s websites may limit access to specific individuals through the use of passwords and other personal identifiers.

8. Keeping your information secure

IronCAD is committed to protecting the information you provide us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, IronCAD has in place appropriate physical and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect.

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information. SSL encryption is designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but us. This security measure is working when you see either the symbol of an unbroken key or closed lock (depending on your browser) on the bottom of your browser window.

Credit card numbers are used only for processing payment and are not used for other purposes. As part of real-time payment processing, IronCAD subscribes to a fraud management service. This service gives you and IronCAD an extra level of security to guard against credit card fraud to protect your financial data.

If there are updates to the terms of IronCAD’s Online Privacy Statement, we will post those changes and update the revision date in this document, so you will always know what information we collect online, how we use it, and what choices you have.
