You may also be required to submit information such as your name and email address before you will be authorized to post information on the Site.
You may set your browser to decline cookies. Although in most cases you may refuse cookies and still fully navigate our Site, access or use of certain parts of the Site may not be possible without the use of cookies.
Use of Personal Information
AVID may use personal information you submit to the Site to provide the services and information you select, to better understand its customers, to provide better products and services, and to assist AVID with the Site administration, such as with troubleshooting any problems, detecting fraud, resolving disputes, and for any purposes deemed necessary or required by AVID to enforce the Terms of Use and other terms or conditions applicable to any portion of the Site.

Third Parties
AVID does not sell to third parties information you have submitted to this Site that identifies you personally.
On occasion, AVID may offer in conjunction with third parties certain services that may require you (or AVID) to share your personal information with that third party as a condition for providing that service.

NOTICE TO EUROPEAN USERS
Please note that the information you enter on the Site or otherwise provide to AVID, its parent company, or its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions, may be transferred outside of the European Economic Area, for purposes of processing, by Avid Technology, Inc. a company located in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, U.S.A., or its subsidiaries or divisions, or authorized partners, located worldwide, including countries which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in the European Union, in order to provide this Site and its services to you. In particular, you are advised that the United States uses a sectoral model of privacy protection that relies on a mix of legislation, governmental regulation, and self-regulation. You are further advised that the Council of the European Union has found that this model does not provide “adequate” privacy protections as contemplated by Article 25 of the European Union’s Data Protection Directive. (Directive 95/46/EC, 1995 O.J. (L 281) 31)
Article 26 of the European Union’s Data Protection Directive allows for transfer of personal data from the European Union to a third country if the individual has unambiguously given his consent to the transfer of personal information, regardless of the third country's level of protection.
By agreeing to this Policy, you consent to the transfer of all such information to the United States and other countries which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in the European Union and to the processing of that information as described in this Policy.
Law Enforcement and Posted Information Exceptions
One exception to this Privacy Policy is that AVID may provide information you submit to this Site to law enforcement authorities. As noted in the Terms of Use AVID intends to cooperate with any order or request from law enforcement officials or a court of competent jurisdiction for information as to the identity of individuals submitting or posting information to AVID or on this Site. Such orders or requests supercede the terms of this Privacy Policy. Another exception applies to any information you decide to post in one of the Site’s public forums. See Public Forums.
Aggregation and Use of Anonymous Data
AVID does aggregate all information provided by you to create anonymous statistical and demographic data. This anonymous data helps AVID to understand and know its customer base better. That anonymous data may be provided to third parties but never in such a fashion as to identify you personally.
Public Forums for Posted Information
Certain portions of the Site are designed to offer you the opportunity to post information on the Site, including but not limited to information about yourself (“Posted Information”); see Terms of Use). For example, you may be permitted to post your resume information on the Site, or post messages in any chat rooms, message boards, mailing lists, and/or news groups this Site makes available to its users.
Please remember that any Posted Information becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. If you decide to post any information, that Posted Information is exempt from this Privacy Policy.
AVID may use personal information that is contained in Posted Information to contact you in the event that an issue or dispute arises about any posted information.
Please see the Terms of Use, including but not limited to Section 2: Posted Information, for additional terms applicable to Posted Information.
Links to Other Sites and Advertising
This Site contains links to other sites not operated by AVID. AVID is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those web sites, nor is AVID responsible for the separate web-sites of its parent company, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates or authorised partners . Please be sure to review the privacy policies of those sites.
This Site may display advertisements and/or links to third parties. These advertisements or links may contain cookies placed by those third parties. AVID is not responsible for those advertisements, the web sites to which they are linked, or how any other linked sites may use their own cookies or information. For example, cookies received with banner ads may be collected by the company posting the ad on our Site. Again, please refer to that company’s privacy policy for further information.
Surveys and Contests/Sweepstakes
From time to time AVID may make online surveys available to users of the Site. Participation in those surveys is voluntary. Some online surveys may ask participants for personal information, such as an email address, in addition to requesting answers to survey questions. AVID may use that personal information to contact the participant if necessary, or as otherwise described above. AVID may make the results of any survey publicly available, although AVID will not attribute any particular response to you without your permission.
On occasion AVID may make available to users of the Site contests, sweepstakes, or similar events in which they may qualify for participation. Participation is always voluntary and subject to the applicable rules. The rules may ask participants to provide personal information as a condition of participation. AVID may also make the winner’s names public, as provided in the applicable rules, or as required by applicable law. AVID may also use that information as described above. In some instances, the applicable rules may contain additional or different uses for the information you provide; please be sure to review those rules carefully before entering.
AVID may permit a third party to sponsor a survey, contest, sweepstakes, or other similar event (“third party event”) with AVID, such as through posting it on the Site. Such third party events are governed solely by any applicable rules, and may require you to provide information to that third party as a condition for participation. While AVID will treat any information it receives in accordance with this Privacy Policy, AVID is not responsible for the information gathered by that third party, and AVID reminds you to review the rules and privacy policies separately applicable to those third party events.
SECURITY
General Issues
This Site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Since the Site under general usage does not collect financial information, AVID uses the standard internet connections for those general usage portions of the Site, without secured sockets.
Specific Services
This Site may provide certain additional, optional services that may use additional security measures to protect the information, such as financial information, provided by you to obtain the service. Those additional security measures may vary, depending upon the particular service offered. You will be informed of any specific security measures at the time you use a particular service. Please review that information for further detail.
Site Registration
In some cases, you may be prompted to register with the Site to undertake a particular Site activity or obtain a particular service. As part of that registration, you may be asked to choose your own password. AVID reminds you to protect your password, and not provide it to others to use. Allowing others to access and use your account and password can compromise the security of your information. AVID disclaims any responsibility or obligation for your decision to provide your password to others. Access by means of such password will at all times be deemed made by you, and you will be responsible for any such access.
You will at all times be responsible for the security and confidentiality of your password and will be liable for any damages caused by any unauthorised use, disclosure or loss of such password. You will be responsible for any access to your account and damages arising therefrom prior to reception of such notification by AVID.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
