Information Collection and Use
Stone Analytics is the sole owner of the information collected on
www.stoneanalytics.com by Stone Analytics. We may collect information from you at several different points on our website. We treat all our client information with complete confidentiality.
If our information practices change in the future, we will use only data collected from the time of the policy change forward for these new purposes, or we will contact you before we use your data for these new purposes and offer you the ability to opt out of these new uses.
In certain portions of this website, you must complete a registration form in order to view an online demonstration, receive information about our products and services or to participate in a webinar or other event. During registration a user is required to give contact information (such as name, company, telephone number and e-mail address). We will use this information to contact you about the products, services and events featured on our site for which you have expressed interest. Other demographic information we may request (such as information about your business) and unique identifiers may be required so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site or so we can provide you with the most appropriate information. We do not require that you submit a social security number or credit card information in connection with the use of this Website. If you are prompted to disclose such information, please do not disclose it and contact support@stoneanalytics.com.
Information Use
We store information that we collect through web forms, cookies and log files to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information we keep on individual users that details their potential interest in our products and services. Consequently, collected information is tied to the users personally identifiable information to provide relevant information and improve the content of our Website. This profile is used to direct pertinent marketing promotions to the user. At the present time, we do not share your profile with third parties.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. Here is a link to information about cookies: http://www.microsoft.com/info/cookies.htm
We use cookies to facilitate the filling out of our various web forms. After you fill out a form, a cookie is set saving your information (name, title, company, address, phone and e-mail) which then pre-populates (i.e. fills out) the pertinent sections of other forms you may be prompted to complete on our Website.
In addition, we utilize certain software to analyze the server logs and generate a report about the traffic to www.stoneanalytics.com. These reports are general and we do not utilize a cookie or other means to monitor a user's specific activity or return visits to our site. However, this analysis does provide us with information about the source through which you are originating your connection to the Internet (such as an Internet service provider such as AOL or MSN or your company if you are accessing the Internet through corporate access).
Like most standard website servers we use log files on our website. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Communications from Stone Analytics
We may send you an e-mail to confirm registration for trial offers or following a subsequent interaction we have with you through this site or an e-mail. You may occasionally receive information relating to our products, services, and special deals. Out of respect for your privacy we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see the Choice/Opt-out section.
We communicate with our customers to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account. We will reply via e-mail or phone, in accordance with our customer's wishes.
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Website.
At the present time, we DO NOT otherwise share personal information with other companies, except as is necessary in connection with our efforts to communicate with you.
If you do not want to receive future e-mail from Stone Analytics, please let us know by sending an email to optout@stoneanalytics.com

We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
We take every reasonable precaution to protect your information. All of our users' information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our sales and marketing representatives) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
If we change our privacy policy in a material way, we will post those changes to this privacy statement on this website at least 30 days before they become effective. In some cases where we post a notice, we may also send an email to users who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
