If you are based in a country within the European Union, you may also get the option to opt into our email newsletter. If you are a non-EU individual, you will receive our newsletter if you sign up for an asset, demo, or webinar.

• If you use any of our discussion forums or similar, the information you enter will be stored for the purpose of publishing it to the discussion forum or similar.
• As a way to prevent spam and fraudulent input, we make use of the reCAPTCHA service from Google to protect forms. This service captures data about the visitor in order to figure out if it is a real person or a bot. We do not send any personal data to Google, but they may see information that your browser sends, such as your hardware and software configuration or your IP address.

You may also have the option to opt into our newsletter or other marketing communication.

3.4 Information we collect when you register with us at a trade show or industry event

8. Your choices and rights

• You can choose to opt out of marketing communications at any time, regardless if you are a customer, partner, or none of the above.
• If you are an individual based in the EU you can request a copy of your personal information and you can update any incorrect information.
• If you are an individual based in the EU, you can ask to have your personal information removed, or in some cases limit our processing of personal information. This does not apply when we need to keep your information for legal reasons.

8.1 How you can opt out of marketing

If you don’t want to receive marketing communications from us, you can at any time use the “Unsubscribe”, “Opt-out” or similar link present in all marketing emails from us.

Please note that opting out of email marketing typically doesn’t mean that you won’t see ads from us. Please see the section below on how you can opt out of web tracking, although it doesn’t mean that you will opt out of ads altogether.

8.2 How you can opt out of web tracking

There are several ways to opt out of web tracking:

Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies or prevent cross-domain tracking. This will limit the cookies that can be set by third-party scripts. This will not completely eliminate tracking by some third-party services though as they may use first-party cookies.

Most browsers also allow you to ask not to be tracked (it sends the “Do Not Track” request header). If you have enabled this feature, we will not track the pages you visit in a way that enables us to connect them to your personal information. Your page views may still be collected anonymously though. Many of the third-party services we use for collecting anonymous data also respect the Do Not Track setting.

You can also opt out of the individual services we use. See their respective opt-out information on their respective websites.

9. Your rights as an individual based in the EU

• YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS: California’s “Shine the Light” law permits customers in California to request certain details about how certain types of their information are shared with third parties and, in some cases, affiliates, for those third parties and affiliates.
