+ <title>&product-name; Privacy Information</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Version 5, Dec 13, 2012
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <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>
+
+ <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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <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.
