Privacy Policy

Welcome to the Pitney Bowes Business Insight Web site. At Pitney Bowes Business Insight, we understand that privacy is an important issue for visitors to our Web site (www.pbbusinessinsight.com). The following information is designed to help you understand what information we gather from visitors to our site and how we handle the information once we gather it.

Personal Information Collected on this Web Site

Each time you visit our Web site, our web server automatically recognizes the domain server numeric code associated with your Internet service provider, but not your specific e-mail address.

At various pages throughout the site, you will have the opportunity to provide us with personal information relating to you and/or your company including your company name and industry, your name, job title, e-mail address, telephone number and postal address for various purposes including registering a product or for a seminar, registering for a product demonstration download, completing a survey, or requesting more information on particular products or services provided by Pitney Bowes Business Insight. If you choose to provide this information to us, a Pitney Bowes Business Insight representative may contact you by post or phone to notify you about new products or services or updates to our Web site that may be of interest to you, and generally help us improve our Web site and other products and services that we provide to you. Respecting your rights under the United Kingdom Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, and other state, federal and international laws that may apply to you, we may also use your e-mail address for this purpose.

If you give us information about yourself, we may share that information with our business partners – independent organizations authorized to resell Pitney Bowes Business Insight products – for the sole purpose of allowing our business partners to contact you concerning Pitney Bowes Business Insight products or other products they believe may be of interest to you. These business partners may reside outside of your country or geographic area, but may be better suited to address your needs. Pitney Bowes Business Insight does not provide your information to any other organization for any purpose. Individuals who elect not to provide personal information to Pitney Bowes Business Insight will still be able to fully access the site. Refusing to provide personal information only prevents you from downloading protected information from our site.

If you have previously provided personal information to Pitney Bowes Business Insight and wish to have it changed or removed, or wish to request that Pitney Bowes Business Insight refrain from contacting you in the future, please contact Pitney Bowes Business Insight via e-mail at enews@mapinfo.com, by mail at our postal address below, by telephone at the number listed below, or by editing your user profile via our Web site. If you request, we will then remove you from our contact list and will request that our business partners do the same. Please be aware that although we notify our partners of your change, it may be necessary to follow their procedures regarding information changes as well. Although we remove contact information as quickly as possible, you may continue to receive communications from us for up to ten business days.

Site Visitor Data Collected on this Web site

The cookies we use are not computer programs and they have no ability to read data residing on your computer or instruct your computer to perform any step or function. Most browsers provide a simple procedure that enables you to control whether you receive cookies by notifying you when a Web site is about to deposit a cookie file. If you choose to block the cookie, you will still be able to fully enjoy our Web site. However, you will be unable to download protected information from our site.
