Privacy Policy
Orchard is committed to protecting and maintaining your privacy. This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) discloses the types of information that we collect from you through the www.orchardsoft.com, portal.orchardsoft.com, pc.orchardsoft.com websites and any supporting systems, including but not limited to any associated content libraries and learning management tools (collectively, the “Website”), how that information will be stored and used by Orchard and shared with others.
If you wish to contact Orchard regarding your personal information or this Privacy Policy, please contact us at webmaster@orchardsoft.com.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, you should not access the Website or disclose any information through the Website.
Information Collection and Use
Orchard collects information from you at several different points on the Website and is the sole owner of the information collected. Your information is not shared with any other entity without your permission, except under conditions listed below:
- It is required to provide you with a product or service.
- Orchard is required to do so by law, or in urgent circumstances, to protect personal safety, the public, or our Website.
Registration
The majority of the Website is available to all web users. However, in order to use the customer-only section of the Website, you must meet the requirements and use the standard account request process for access. Accounts are generally limited to Orchard employees and customers who maintain a current support contract with Orchard. However, Orchard reserves the right to grant accounts to others (e.g., prospective customers, channel partners, etc.) as it deems appropriate. All accounts are subject to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for the Website.
To set up an account on the Website, you must provide your name, account number, and email address. Orchard’s system automatically generates a unique password. After the initial sign-in, you may create a unique password to use for subsequent sign-ins. Usernames and passwords are stored in a secure database and are used to control access to the customer-only section of the Website and to provide a more personalized experience (e.g., welcome messages, account information, etc.). For added security, Orchard never has access to account holder’s passwords. You are solely responsible for the security of your password. After the initial sign-in, we strongly recommend you update your password and that you follow best practices for password security, including creating different passwords for each of your online accounts, using strong passwords, and changing your password frequently.
Cookies
Each time you sign into the customer-only section of the Website, it creates a temporary file, called a session cookie. When you close your browser, session cookies automatically expire, and they are removed from your machine. Your Web browser may allow you to be notified when you are receiving a cookie, giving you the choice to accept it or not. If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing the Website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser. By not accepting cookies, some pages may not fully function, and you may not be able to access certain information on the Website.
Forms and Requests
Throughout the Website, you may choose to submit forms for various actions, such as requesting product information or contacting Technical Support. If you do so, you may be asked to submit personally identifiable information, including but not limited to, name, email, and phone number. This information will only be used to contact you about services on the Website for which you have expressed interest.
In order to download our product brochures, we request your name and email address. You may choose not to provide this information; however, completing these fields is required in order to view or download the information. Contact information will be used to contact you regarding Orchard products that you may find beneficial. Personally identifiable information collected via forms and requests is not shared with third parties.
Google Cookies
As part of our advertising campaign with Google, Google may record in the cookie it sets on your machine the keywords on which you searched to access the Website. If you do not want to have Google record this information, you must disable the Google cookie.
Log Files
Like many websites, Orchard’s Website servers create log files that list information about visitors to the Website. This includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, etc. Orchard uses the log files to analyze trends, administer the Website, track Website visitors’ movements in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. If you access the Website from links in promotional material, the log file may contain information you have previously submitted. To disable tracking, you can adjust your “Do Not Track” preferences or settings for your web browser. Personally identifiable information collected via log files is not shared with third parties.
Surveys or Contests
Occasionally, Orchard may request information from you via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary, and you have a choice whether or not to disclose the requested information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and mailing address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes and may be used to contact you regarding Orchard products that you may find beneficial. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of the Website or other Orchard products or services. Personally identifiable information collected via surveys and contests is not shared with third parties.
Information Sharing
Legal Purposes
Though Orchard makes every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process related to the Website.
Third Party Advertisers
Orchard does not share personal information with third party advertisers.
Business Transitions
If Orchard goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or selling all or a portion of its assets, your personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. You will be notified via prominent notice on the Website for a period of thirty (30) days prior to a change of ownership or control of your personal information. If, as a result of the business transition, your personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection you will be given notice consistent with the Notification of Changes section.
