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.

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.
