Privacy Policy for Bowne.com

Revision date: 02/01/2008

We track two types of information about our users: personal information that you voluntarily provide to us ("Personally Identifiable Data"), and information about our users’ usage of the system ("Usage Data").

Personally Identifiable Data

Personally Identifiable Data includes such information as your name, your company, your e-mail address, your mailing address, and your phone number. For example, in connection with communications with us, you may voluntarily provide us your email address or we may ask you for your email address. In the future, we may ask you for certain additional information. The purpose of these requests is to enable us to respond to your requests, to communicate with you, to support or enhance your relationship with us, and improve our services.

Personally Identifiable Data, which you provide to Bowne, will be kept confidential. We will not sell or transfer your Personally Identifiable Data to third parties for purposes of development and marketing of products or services to you. Agents and contractors of ours who are given access to your Personally Identifiable Data are required to keep this information confidential, and not to use it for any other purpose other than to carry out the services they are providing for us. We may enhance or merge your information collected at this site with data from third parties for purposes of development and marketing products or services to you.

Circumstances may arise when we are required to disclose your Personally Identifiable Data to third parties for purposes other than to support or enhance your relationship with us, such as in a corporate divestiture or dissolution or in the unlikely event we sell all or a portion of our business or assets (including our lists containing your personal information), or if disclosure is required by law or is pertinent to judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings.
