16 The Oracle Privacy Policies posted on
17 <ulink url="https://www.oracle.com/legal/privacy/privacy-policy.html">https://www.oracle.com/legal/privacy/privacy-policy.html</ulink>
18 apply to your personal data collected and used by Oracle. The
19 following privacy information describes in more detail which
20 information is exchanged between the &product-name; application and
21 Oracle, and which information is collected by the virtualbox.org
22 website.

26 <emphasis role="bold">§ 1 virtualbox.org.</emphasis> The
27 "virtualbox.org" website logs anonymous usage information such as
28 your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral
29 source, length of visit and number of page views while you visit
30 (collectively, "anonymous data"). In addition, but only if you
31 choose to register, the website's bug tracking and forum services
32 store the data you choose to reveal upon registration, such as your
33 user name and contact information.
34 </para>
35
36 <para>
37 <emphasis role="bold">§ 2 Cookies.</emphasis> The virtualbox.org
38 website, the bug tracker and the forum services use cookies to
39 identify and track the visiting web browser and, if you have
40 registered, to facilitate login. Most browsers allow you to refuse
41 to accept cookies. While you can still visit the website with
42 cookies disabled, logging into the bug tracker and forum services
43 will most likely not work without them.
44 </para>
45
46 <para>
47 <emphasis role="bold">§ 3 &product-name; registration
48 process.</emphasis> The &product-name; application may ask that the
49 user optionally register with Oracle. If you choose to register,
50 your name, e-mail address, country and company will be submitted to
51 Oracle and stored together with the IP address of the submitter as
52 well as product version and platform being used.
53 </para>
54
55 <para>
56 <emphasis role="bold">§ 4 Update notifications.</emphasis> The
57 &product-name; application may contact Oracle to find out whether a
58 new version of &product-name; has been released and notify the user
59 if that is the case. In the process, anonymous data such as your IP
60 address and a non-identifying counter, together with the product
61 version and the platform being used, is sent so that the server can
62 find out whether an update is available. By default, this check is
63 performed once a day. You change this interval or disable these
64 checks altogether in the &product-name; preferences.
65 </para>
66
67 <para>
68 <emphasis role="bold">§ 5 Usage of personal information.</emphasis>
69 Oracle may use anonymous and personal data collected by the means
70 above for statistical purposes as well as to automatically inform
71 you about new notices related to your posts on the bug tracker and
72 forum services, to administer the website and to contact you due to
73 technical issues. Oracle may also inform you about new product
74 releases related to &product-name;.
75 </para>
76
77 <para>
78 In no event will personal data without your express consent be
79 provided to any third parties, unless Oracle may be required to do
80 so by law or in connection with legal proceedings.
81 </para>
82
83 <para>
84 <emphasis role="bold">§ 6 Updates.</emphasis> Oracle may update the
85 privacy policy at any time by posting a new version at
86 <ulink url="https://www.oracle.com/legal/privacy/privacy-policy.html">https://www.oracle.com/legal/privacy/privacy-policy.html</ulink>
87 and the privacy information will be kept up to date in the
88 documentation which comes with the &product-name; application. You
89 should check these places occasionally to ensure you are happy with
90 any changes.
