Esri EA will keep confidential all personal data relating to our customers.
Purposes of Collection of Personal Data
Esri EA collects personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, or credit card information only if you provide this information to us voluntarily. The voluntary information we collect is used for internal verification to complete transactions, ensure appropriate legal use of licensed Esri software, provide notification to licensees about updates to Esri software, and help provide technical and product support to our users. Where necessary, Esri EA may pass this data to Esri distributors or suppliers or business partners or affiliates.
When requesting information from us, or entering secure areas of our Website, we do require that you provide some information about yourself by “registering” or completing an online form. For example, situations where we will ask you to register include:
- When you request demos or evaluation software that is downloadable,
- When you purchase Esri products,
- When you request Esri EA services,
- When you register to Esri EA training courses,
- When you register to Esri EA events,
- When you subscribe to Esri EA publications or mailing lists (you will be able to “unsubscribe” at any time),
- When participating in contests or surveys,
- When entering a limited-access, premium portion of our Website, such as our customer support knowledge base, you must “register” to receive a username and password,
- The information we require is necessary to mail you the materials you request, or to follow up via telephone or email to make sure you received what you asked for, and to provide you further information about product, services, upgrades, and support.
Confidentiality
Esri EA will keep confidential all personal data relating to our customers.
Except as stated herein, Esri EA’s corporate policy is not to rent, sell, or otherwise permit access by third parties to databases composed of your personally identifiable information.
Esri EA will take reasonable and prudent precautions to ensure that your personally identifiable data is protected against unnecessary and unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

You acknowledge that personal information is disclosed at your own risk, and may be subject to unauthorized use by others. Esri EA is not responsible in any manner for direct, indirect, special or consequential damages, howsoever caused arising out of the communication of information to us.

Your Rights
Esri EA will permit you to access information about you in our database. If you believe any of the information is incorrect or needs updating, please advise us immediately.
