The Oracle Privacy Policies posted on
|
|
<ulink url="https://www.oracle.com/legal/privacy/privacy-policy.html" />
|
|
apply to your personal data collected and used by Oracle. The
|
|
following privacy information describes in more detail which
|
|
information is exchanged between the &product-name; application and
|
|
Oracle, and which information is collected by the virtualbox.org
|
|
website.

<emphasis role="bold">§ 1 virtualbox.org.</emphasis> The
|
|
"virtualbox.org" website logs anonymous usage information such as
|
|
your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral
|
|
source, length of visit and number of page views while you visit
|
|
(collectively, "anonymous data"). In addition, but only if you
|
|
choose to register, the website's bug tracking and forum services
|
|
store the data you choose to reveal upon registration, such as your
|
|
user name and contact information.
|

</para>
|

<para>
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">§ 2 Cookies.</emphasis> The virtualbox.org
|
|
website, the bug tracker and the forum services use cookies to
|
|
identify and track the visiting web browser and, if you have
|
|
registered, to facilitate login. Most browsers allow you to refuse
|
|
to accept cookies. While you can still visit the website with
|
|
cookies disabled, logging into the bug tracker and forum services
|
|
will most likely not work without them.

<para>
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">§ 3 &product-name; registration
|
|
process.</emphasis> The &product-name; application may ask that the
|
|
user optionally register with Oracle. If you choose to register,
|
|
your name, e-mail address, country and company will be submitted to
|
|
Oracle and stored together with the IP address of the submitter as
|
|
well as product version and platform being used.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">§ 4 Update notifications.</emphasis> The
|
|
&product-name; application may contact Oracle to find out whether a
|
|
new version of &product-name; has been released and notify the user
|
|
if that is the case. In the process, anonymous data such as your IP
|
|
address and a non-identifying counter, together with the product
|
|
version and the platform being used, is sent so that the server can
|
|
find out whether an update is available. By default, this check is
|
|
performed once a day. You change this interval or disable these
|
|
checks altogether in the &product-name; preferences.

<emphasis role="bold">§ 5 Usage of personal information.</emphasis>
|
|
Oracle may use anonymous and personal data collected by the means
|
|
above for statistical purposes as well as to automatically inform
|
|
you about new notices related to your posts on the bug tracker and
|
|
forum services, to administer the website and to contact you due to
|
|
technical issues. Oracle may also inform you about new product
|
|
releases related to &product-name;.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
In no event will personal data without your express consent be
|
|
provided to any third parties, unless Oracle may be required to do
|
|
so by law or in connection with legal proceedings.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">§ 6 Updates.</emphasis> Oracle may update the
|
|
privacy policy at any time by posting a new version at
|
|
<ulink url="https://www.oracle.com/legal/privacy/privacy-policy.html" />
|
|
and the privacy information will be kept up to date in the
|
|
documentation which comes with the &product-name; application. You
|
|
should check these places occasionally to ensure you are happy with
|
|
any changes.
