Verdict Systems is committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is intended to describe how your personal information is processed and used, and we will make every effort to ensure that our activities keep within the spirit of this Privacy Policy. Please note that by visiting and using sanction.com, verdical.com or verdictsystems.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

What Information is Verdict Systems gathering about its visitors and how is it being used?

Every computer connected to the Internet is provided with a domain name (e.g. earthlink.net) and an IP Address (e.g. 192.164.13.145). When a visitor requests a page from within any of the Verdict Systems Web sites, our Web Servers automatically identify and log the HTTP request that is made to our Web Server. This information reveals nothing personal about you. In fact, the only information that we automatically gather and log is as follows:

There is absolutely nothing special about the information just described, and the practice of collecting this data has been generally standardized by virtually every Web Server on the Internet today.

The purpose for this information is actually two-fold. One, Verdict Systems has found it advantageous to examine visitor traffic in its aggregate, so that we can ensure maximum compatibility for the various Browsers and Operating Systems that visit our site. Additionally, as any business should attest, it is our desire to generate greater amounts of visitor traffic. By analyzing visitation patterns, referring URL's and Search Engine terms, we can strategically enhance our exposure on the Internet.

Cookies

You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. Typically, by accessing the browser's help feature you can obtain information on how to prevent your browser from accepting all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our Web site and other Web sites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended. You may also find yourself repeating steps of entering data.

We try to speed up the process by using cookies to input that information for you automatically.

What other information does Verdict Systems request?

We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey, adding you to our mailing list, or by your request to have someone contact you for additional information. Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested. We maintain a strict "No Spam" policy that means we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent.

In addition, Verdict Systems will not send you e-mail that you have not agreed to receive. If you are a member of our Mailing List, you will be contacted with announcements, news, portfolio additions, and new products or services. You have the option to unsubscribe from our Mailing List at any time, thereby disabling any further such e-mail communication from being sent to you. If you wish to have specific communications with a member of the Verdict Systems' staff, you will be required to provide specific information that will be routed to the appropriate contact within Verdict Systems.

What information does Verdict Systems collect when I purchase something?

Generally speaking we will need:

We use shopping cart features that safeguard this information by using industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypted servers. SSL encodes the information transferred between you and the server, rendering it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept the information.

Will Verdict Systems disclose the information collected to Third Parties?

Verdict Systems will disclose your personal information or any of its log file information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such actions are necessary to:

  1. Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on Verdict Systems.
  2. Protect and defend the rights or property of Verdict Systems, or visitors of Verdict Systems.
  3. Identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal notice, or the rights of third parties.
  4. Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities.

Verdict Systems uses reasonable precautions to keep the information disclosed to us secure. Verdict Systems reserves the right to transfer information in connection with the sale of all or part of Verdict Systems capital stock or assets to any third party. Furthermore, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of any third parties that receive the information. Verdict Systems also provides "links" to a wide variety of other web sites on the Internet. We are not responsible for their Privacy Policies or how those web sites manage information about their users. We strongly urge you to check with those web sites to determine their privacy policy.

Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on this page so that you are always aware of the information that we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser from our Web Server. A cookie cannot read data from your hard disk or read cookie files that may have been created from other sites. The Verdict Systems Web sites utilizes cookies as a means to eliminate certain redundant steps.

So, what does that mean in English?

Simply put, it's a way for us to fill in that form that you've just filled out the next time you need to use it. In fact, all of our forms talk to the same cookie, so your information will carry over whether you're filling out a download form or connecting to a Support Tech via our Screen Sharing module.

What if I have a habit of listening to Art Bell and George Noory and still feel uneasy about all this cookie business?

Well, then you keep odd hours and have a lot more in common with our Web guy than you realize. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings in your browser. Typically by accessing the browser's help feature, you can obtain information on how to prevent your browser from accepting all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our Web site and other Web sites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended. It's always good to be a little cautious on the Internet, but you're only forcing yourself to enter non-confidential information repeatedly in this case.

Secure sockets layer (SSL) provides a secure Web connection to the end user.

What does a secure connection mean?

A secure connection means two things:

  1. No one can snoop on the connection between the user's browser and the site they are visiting.
  2. The client receives, through a certificate, assurance that the server is who they say they are. Therefore the security is assured on two levels.

Are there plans to implement SSL?

Yes. Right now, major steps are being made to make things more automated for our clients. Soon, you will be able to order updates, buy new software, or even renew your annual maintenance agreement online with a secure connection.

You will see a lot of advancements being made around here that are geared towards faster service to our clients. We appreciate your patience thus far and we are looking forward to implementing these features in the coming months.
