us to contact you. The personal information we collect may include: Personal Name,
Email address, Company Name, Company Address, City, State, Postal Code, Country,

which we refer to as your Windows Live™ ID or your Microsoft Passport Network credentials.
After you create your Windows Live ID, you can use the same credentials to sign
into many different Microsoft sites and services, as well as those of select Microsoft
partners that display the Windows Live ID or Microsoft Passport Network logos. By
signing in on one Microsoft site or service, you may be automatically signed in
when you visit other Microsoft sites and services. To learn more about how your
credential information is used when you sign into participating sites, please read

We may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links
you click and other actions taken in connection with the Site. We also collect certain
standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as
your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site
addresses.
Use of Your Personal Information
The personal information collected on this Site will be used to operate the Site
and to provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have requested
or authorized.
In support of these uses, Microsoft may use personal information to provide you
with more effective customer service, to improve the Site and any related Microsoft
products or services, and to make the Site easier to use by eliminating the need
for you to repeatedly enter the same information or by customizing the Site to your
particular preference or interests.
We may use your personal information to provide you with important information about
the product or service that you are using, including critical updates and notifications.
Additionally, with your permission, we may send you information about other Microsoft
products and services, and/or share information with Microsoft partners so they
may send you information about their products and services.
Microsoft occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on our
behalf, such as Web site hosting, packaging, mailing and delivering prizes, answering
customer questions about products and services, and sending information about our
products, special offers, and other new services. We will only provide those companies
the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to
maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using that
information for any other purpose.
Microsoft may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the
good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of
the law or comply with legal process served on Microsoft or the Site; (b) protect
and defend the rights or property of Microsoft and our family of Web sites; or (c)
act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Microsoft
products or members of the public.
Personal information collected on the Site may be stored and processed in the United
States or any other country in which Microsoft or its affiliates, subsidiaries or
agents maintain facilities, and by using the Site, you consent to any such transfer
of information outside of your country. Microsoft abides by the safe harbor framework
as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and
retention of data from the European Union.
Control of Your Personal Information
Except as otherwise described in this statement, personal information you provide
on the Site will not be shared outside of Microsoft and its controlled subsidiaries
and affiliates without your permission.
Microsoft will only contact you with your preferred methods as specified in the
Contact Preferences form on the Site. Preferred methods may include email, postal
mail, phone, fax, etc.
Please be aware that this privacy statement and any choices you make on the Site
will not necessarily apply to personal information you may have provided to Microsoft
in the context of other, separately operated, Microsoft products or services.
Access to Your Personal Information
You can review and edit the personal information you provided at this Site by signing
in to the Site using your Windows Live™ ID or your Microsoft Passport Network credentials
as discussed earlier. You will have access to your profile page, where you will
be able to modify existing information, and add or delete data. You can also contact
us via the email address as shown at the bottom of this statement.
Security of Your Personal Information
Microsoft is committed to protecting the security of your personal information.
We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal
information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store
the personal information you provide on computer servers with limited access that
are located in controlled facilities. Additionally, when we transmit sensitive personal
information (such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we protect it through
the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Privacy Statement
We may occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise
the "last updated" date at the top of the privacy statement. For material changes
to this privacy statement, we will notify you either by placing a prominent notice
on the home page of our web site or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage
you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed about how we
are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of
the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
