Privacy Statement

Last Updated: February 13, 2012

WHAT THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT COVERS

VoodooSoft, LLC, (“VoodooSoft” or “we”, “us” “our” or words of similar import) is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you a powerful and safe online experience. This Privacy Statement applies to our web site for VoodooShield™ and governs our data collection and usage. This Privacy Statement does not apply to the use of personal information that is collected by third parties that we do not own or control and we are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of such third parties. By using our VoodooShield™ web site (www.voodooshield.com), you consent to the privacy practices described in this Privacy Statement.

TYPE OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Personal Information

We treat as “personal information” any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with, a particular individual, like your name, job title, e-mail address, home or work address and home or work telephone number. There are a number of ways your Personal Information may be provided to us, including:

            Purchasing VoodooShield™

In order to acquire a VoodooShield™ license, you will be required to provide personal information, including your name, address, email address, and billing related financial information, such as credit card number, credit card verification code, account number, billing zip code and other information depending on the type of payment method you select. If we use third party payment services, the personal information you provide as part of the payment process will be provided to such third parties and will be subject to their privacy practices and policies. If we sell VoodooShield™ licenses directly, the personal information you provide as part of the payment process will be provided to us and will be subject to this Privacy Statement.

            Download and Registration Process

We currently limit the Personal Information we request from you during the download and registration processes to your email address and password. 

            VoodooShield™ Snapshot

VoodooShield™ uses a proprietary, patent-pending snapshot feature to learn what programs and processes you run on your computer. Each time VoodooShield™ is activated, it takes a snapshot of the processes that are running on your computer at that time. This snapshot is remembered the next time VoodooShield™ is activated to prevent VoodooShield™ from blocking your use of these processes in subsequent internet sessions. This snapshot is also uploaded to a secure VoodooSoft server (or third party host server under contract with VoodooSoft) to create a backup that can be provided to you whenever necessary. The snapshot backup could be especially helpful if you need to restore your computer from a backup that preceded your latest VoodooShield™ snapshot. The snapshot only contains a list of processes that have run on your computer while Voodooshield™ was in operation mode, and does not contain other private data such as your credit card information, other financial information, browser history, web site favorites, passwords, or other data generated by any of your applications.

VoodooShield Log Application Files

Information from VoodooShield’s log application files is periodically automatically uploaded to our servers to enable us to track any errors that might occur while Voodooshield™ is running, track the frequency of Voodooshield™ activation and deactivation, and identify processes that have been blocked. This information will help us in providing any technical support you may require and will also assist us to improve the Voodooshield™ user experience.

Technical Support

If you request technical support, we may ask you for information necessary to provide the requested support, such as your name, address and information about your computer hardware, software and the nature of the problem you are experiencing. Additionally, if required to facilitate support, we may with your permission conduct an interactive session in which a VoodooSoft technician remotely assumes control of your computer. No information is retained from such sessions beyond information to substantiate that such session(s) took place. We may retain information concerning technical issues to provide you with continuing support and to improve our products and services.

            Soliciting your Opinion and Feedback

We may ask you to provide us your opinion and feedback regarding our products and services generally and we will solicit your opinion and feedback when you download a beta version of our software that has been released for testing. In this regard, you may be asked to provide us your e-mail address name, postal address, occupation and the name of your organization, if you have not already done so, as well as the opinions and feedback itself.

Non-Personal Information

We automatically collect certain aggregate and non-personal information when your browser accesses the VoodooShield™ web site. Aggregate and non-personal information does not relate to a single particular individual. It consists of things like the type of browser you are using, the date and time of your visit, the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and how our site was found. We do not connect this information to any of your personal information.  We use this information only to monitor site traffic in order to identify trends, improve performance of our site and enhance the quality of your visits. We reserve the right to use and disclose any non-personal Information at our discretion, although you will remain anonymous as an individual user.

In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity. We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use personal information you have provided through the VoodooShield™ web site in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Statement.

HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
