This privacy statement is effective May 25, 2018. Please note that this privacy statement will be regularly updated to reflect any changes in the way we handle your personal data or if there are any changes in the applicable laws.

How do we collect and process personal data?
Accessing website or other online services
Information on epiloguesystems.com and other Epilogue websites is gathered in two ways: directly and indirectly. Epilogue will at times ask you to directly provide information that personally identifies you (registering for an event, downloading a file, signing up for an email list, etc.). It is our policy to keep personal information only as long as needed to fulfill the purposes for which the information was collected. We also collect information indirectly through our Internet access logs and social media logins. When you visit epiloguesystems.com, your Internet Protocol (IP) address is automatically collected and is placed in our Internet access logs. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Your IP address is used to help diagnose any technical problems, analyse site trends, administer the site, track movement within the site, and gather broad demographic information about site use that can eventually be used to make improvements that enhance your user experience on epiloguesystems.com.
Responding to your request for information, order, or support
When you contact us (online or offline) in connection with a request for information, to order a product or service, to provide you with support, or to participate in a forum or other social computing tool, we collect information necessary to fulfill your request, to grant you access to the product or service, to provide you with support and to be able to contact you. For instance, we collect your name and contact information, details about your request and your agreement with us and the fulfillment, delivery and invoicing of your order and we may include client satisfaction survey information. We retain such information for administrative purposes, defending our rights, and in connection with our relationship with you.
