Silicon Design Solutions ("SDS") relies on you, our customers, for our success. We know that in order for you to use our website, or purchase our products and services, you have to feel comfortable providing us with personal information about yourself. We recognize the importance of safeguarding that information.

SDS provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures should you choose to share personal information with us. This Privacy Policy describes SDS's collection, use and disclosure of personal information on our website www.silicondesignsolutions.com  (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time as our services change and expand. We will notify you of such changes by sending an email message to your email address on record, and your continued use of the Site will signify your acceptance of these new terms.

What Information Do We Gather?
SDS may provide customers with tools and resources capable of producing IP Macros. Through the Site, SDS also offers rich content, resources and support for our users. By collecting some personal information about you, SDS is better able to understand your needs and to provide you with better service.

When you register on one of the Site, we ask for personal information, such as name, address, etc., about you. We may also ask for personal information for online or in person events such as seminars and conferences.

SDS also uses "cookies" or small bits of information stored by your browser on your hard drive to track what pages our users view and to keep track of a user's identity throughout a user session on our site. SDS uses a persistent cookie that records your email address for log in purposes. Cookie information may be linked to your email address, but is only used as described below.

Finally, in connection with the standard operation of the Site, certain non-personally identifiable information about visitors to this website is also recorded.

How Do We Use The Information We Gather?
SDS may use personal information you provide us to facilitate your session visits to the Site, provide you with information, resources and tools, respond to specific questions from users, to provide you with information about our products and services, and for the planning and presentation of events such as seminars and conferences. We may also use personal information for the internal research purposes discussed below.

Information obtained through "cookies" or automatically recorded by the Site will be used to track a user's identity through a session (so you don't have to re-enter information on every page), as well as for internal research purposes, to help us provide our users with better Site and better service. We use cookies to track the pages on the Site visited by our users, for example. We can build a better website if we know which pages our users are visiting and how often. Of course, you can set your browser not to accept cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other visitors to our website.

Do We Share Your Personal Information With Third Parties, Such As Advertisers, Service Providers, or Consultants?
As SDS grows and expands, we may share your information with our affiliates, consultants, vendors and service providers, who assist us in maintaining the Site and providing related services such as online registration for events. We may share your information with advertisers or marketers. We may also share your information with event sponsors.

SDS may also disclose information when required by law or under the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary in order to conform to applicable law, comply with legal process served on SDS, or to protect the property or interests of SDS, its agents and employees, personal safety, or the public. Under such circumstances, SDS may be prohibited by law, court order or other legal process from providing notice of the disclosure, and SDS reserves the right to not provide such notice in its sole discretion.

As its business evolves, SDS may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy. In such an event, personal information, along with automatically recorded information may be one of the assets transferred.

Can You View and Correct Your Personal Information?
SDS will use reasonable efforts to keep your personal information accurate. We would appreciate your help in ensuring the information you provide to us is accurate and up-to-date. Providing accurate information helps us serve you better. You may easily update your personal information through the "SDS Preferred Customer" link provided from numerous pages on the Site. If you choose to unregister with SDS on either of the Site, your account will be deactivated, though personal information contained in your account may remain on our servers.

Is Your Information Secure?
SDS uses physical, electronic and administrative safeguards, including firewall, encryption and password protection for our databases, designed to protect the security of data. SDS also will only allow account activation based upon valid email verification as an additional security feature.
