Sonar Software, Inc. (Sonar or “We”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy (this Policy). This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the website sonarsoftware.com (our Website) and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. This Policy applies to information we collect on this Website and in electronic messages between you and this Website. It does not apply to information collected by any third party.
Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Website. By accessing or using this Website, you agree to this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of this Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.
Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It
We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, including information:
- By which you may be personally identified, such as name, e-mail address, an anonymized string created from your email address, telephone number, professional information (such as job title and employer), or any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline (personal information).
- That is about you but individually does not identify you.
- About your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Website, and usage details.
We collect this information:
- Directly from you when you provide it to us.
- Automatically as you navigate through the Website. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies.

Our Website does not respond to DNT signals or turn off tracking.
The information we collect automatically may include personal information or we may maintain it or associate it with personal information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to estimate our audience size and usage patterns, store information about your preferences, and recognize you when you return to our Website.
The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:
- Cookies (or browser cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser.

- Web Beacons. Pages of the Website and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit Sonar, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics.
