Treehouse Software Online Privacy Statement

Treehouse respects your privacy

Treehouse Software and its subsidiaries respect your privacy. This privacy statement informs you of our privacy practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected online and how that information is used.

1. Sites covered by this privacy statement

Treehouse Software is a global organization, with sales and technical employees that cross borders. This privacy statement applies to all Treehouse Software-owned websites and domains.

Links to non-Treehouse Software websites

The Treehouse Software website may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the Treehouse Software website. Treehouse Software does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from Treehouse Software's practices. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The personal data you choose to provide to, or that is collected by these third parties is not covered by the Treehouse Software privacy statement. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information.

2. Collection of personal information

To serve you better and understand your needs and interests, Treehouse Software only collects information that is provided on our online support and marketing forms. For example, when you order products or services, request information, subscribe to marketing or support materials, register yourself or your Treehouse Software products, or participate in surveys, or apply for a job at Treehouse Software, we will ask you to provide personal information to complete these transactions. The types of personal information you provide to us on these pages may include contact information such as your name, address, telephone number, and email address; and other unique information such as user ids and passwords, billing and transaction information, product and service preferences, contact preferences, educational and employment background, and job interest data. In addition to the information you provide, Treehouse Software may also collect information during your visit to a Treehouse Software website through our automatic data collection tools, which include web beacons, cookies, embedded web links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our website such as your browser type and language, access times, and the address of the website from which you arrived at a Treehouse Software website. They may also collect information about your internet protocol (ip) address, clickstream behavior (i.e., the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take in connection with Treehouse Software websites) and product information. An ip address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers use ip addresses to communicate on the internet, allowing users to browse and shop.

3. How we use your information

Communicate with you about products and services;

4. How we share your information

Treehouse Software will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others.
Treehouse Software will not share the personal information you provide to Treehouse Software with non-Treehouse Software third parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly authorized information requests of police and governmental authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; (iii) help prevent fraud or to enforce or protect the rights and properties of Treehouse Software or its subsidiaries; or (iv) protect the personal safety of Treehouse Software employees and third parties on Treehouse Software property.

6. Your choices and selecting your privacy preferences

Treehouse Software gives you the choice of receiving a variety of information that complements our products and services, support, and the regular Treehouse newsletter. You can subscribe to receive certain product- and service-specific information and also choose to receive Treehouse Software general communications.

You can make or change your choices about receiving either subscription or general communications. This option does not apply to communications primarily for the purpose of administering order completion, contracts, support, product safety warnings, or other administrative and transactional notices as the primary purpose of these communications is not promotional in nature.
