Vision Racer
recognizes privacy
and security as
being a concern for
most individuals
accessing the
Internet. Whether
you're buying one of
our quality
products, or just
browsing our site,
we want to make you
comfortable with our
privacy practices
and the security
measures we take to
protect your
personal
information. This
statement discloses
the privacy
guidelines for the
Vision Racer
International
consumer Web sites.
Information
submitted solely in
a business capacity
is not covered by
these guidelines.
By using our Web
site, you consent to
the collection and
use of your
information by
Vision Racer as set
forth in the policy
currently in effect.
If we decide to
change our policy,
such changes will be
posted here on the
Web site, so please
check back
periodically to
ensure you have the
most current policy.
When a
visitor places an
order with us,
Vision Racer may
collect personally
identifiable
information,
including name,
title, company,
address, e-mail
address, phone
numbers and date of
birth. We do not
require this
information to
obtain access to any
part of our public
site, but do require
it if you wish to
place an order, or
set up an account in
our members area.
In addition to
ordering and
registration, we may
ask you for and
collect personal
information at other
times, including by
way of example, when
you enter a contest
or participate in a
promotion, or
marketing campaign
sponsored by Vision
Racer or one of its
business partners;
when you want to
find out about
service offered in
your area; when you
complete surveys or
other
questionnaires; or
when you send an
e-mail to Vision
Racer. Wherever
Vision Racer
collects personal
information we try
to include a link to
this Privacy Policy
on that page.
We also use
JavaScript’s to
collect
non-personally
identifiable
information, user
names and to match
such user names with
other personal
information. This
information is used
to measure number of
visits, average time
spent on a Vision
Racer Web site,
pages viewed, etc.
We use this
information to
measure the use of
our sites and to
improve the content
of our sites.
What about Cookies? When you
come into our site,
our server attaches
a small text file to
your hard drive -- a
cookie. Your unique
cookie tells us that
it's you whenever
you re-enter our
site, so we can
recall where you've
previously been on
our site, and what,
if anything, you
have in your
shopping cart.
Cookies help us
deliver a better Web
site experience to
our users.
Generally, we use
cookies to:
(1) Remind us of who
you are and to
access your account
information (stored
on our computers) in
order to deliver to
you a better and
more personalized
experience.
(2) Determine the
effectiveness of our
e-commerce
relationships.
Vision Racer's

from which a user
enters our site.
Users linking to the
Vision Racer site

information is used
to determine the
effectiveness of our
relationships and to
administrate our

This information may
also be used to help
target
advertisements based
on user interests
and behaviour.
(3) Assist Vision
Racer in tracking
what items are in
your shopping cart.
(4) Track your
progress and number
of entries in some
of our promotions,
sweepstakes and
contests.
(5) Measure traffic
patterns, and which
areas of the Vision
Racer site you have
visited, and your
visiting patterns.
This information is
collected by using
JavaScript to
generate a cookie,
and sometimes called
"clickstream." We
use this information
to understand how
our users navigate
our site, and to
determine common
traffic patterns,
including what site
the user came from.
We use this
information to make
site navigation and
product
recommendations, and
to help redesign our
site in order to
make your experience
on our site more
efficient and
enjoyable. We may
also use this
information to
better personalize
the content, banner
ads, and promotions
that you and other
users will see. This
helps Vision Racer
deliver you the
content you want, in
order for you to
make better
purchasing
decisions. Read more

Who is
collecting the
information? When you are
on a Vision Racer
site and are asked
for personal
information, you are
sharing that
information with
Vision Racer Ltd,
its subsidiaries and
related companies.
Additionally, if you
purchase a Simulator
Product or other
Item requiring
service, your
personal information
may be collected by
a third party vendor
working with Vision
Racer. Vision Racer
may also contract
with third party
companies to perform
services for Vision
Racer on its Web
site that require
these companies to
collect personal
information (e.g.
promotion or survey,
or selling software
downloads). The
Vision Racer Web
site may also
contain various
links to third-party
Web sites. These
sites may provide
additional
information, goods,
services and/or
promotions. These
sites are owned and
operated
independently of
Vision Racer, and
have their own
separate privacy and
data collection
practices. Any
information you
provide to these Web
sites will be
governed under the
terms of their
privacy policy, if
any. Vision Racer
has no
responsibility or
liability whatsoever
for the independent
actions or policies
of these independent
sites, and is not
responsible for the
content or privacy
practices of such
sites.
How is
my information used? Vision
Racer's primary goal
in collecting
personal information
is to facilitate
order processing and
to enable us to
contact you if a
problem arises with
your order.
Additionally, if you
purchase a simulator
product requiring
service, your
personal information
may be used to
obtain a credit
report if necessary.
Providing such
information when
making a purchase is
required. This
information may also
be used to provide
you with a
customised
experience on our
site, which includes
interactive
communications, and
other services.
The Vision Racer
site may also
contain optional
surveys and
questionnaires
asking for
information, as well
as several
opportunities for
visitors to ask
questions. We use
the information you
provide to help us
design and build
better products, to
customise your
shopping experience,
and to provide
advice and purchase
recommendations.
Taking part in any
of these segments is
always optional.
We also use the
information we
collect to help
target valuable
marketing and
advertising offers.
This kind of
advertising may be
done with banner ads
as well as
promotional e-mails
sent by Vision
Racer, or by third
parties under
contract with Vision
Racer. Vision Racer
may also match user
information with
third party data to
help us better
understand our
customers. This
means Vision Racer
may combine the
personal information
you provide us with
information
available from other
sources, including
offline sources, to
market new products
or services we think
may be of interest
to you.
Finally, Vision
Racer does research
on our users'
demographics,
interests, and
behaviour based on
the information
provided to us when
making a purchase,
during a promotion,
from surveys and
from the data
collected from
JavaScript’s. We do
this to better
understand and serve
our users. This
research is compiled
and analyzed
individually, and on
an aggregated basis.
Vision Racer may
share this
aggregated data with
our business
partners.
With
whom does Vision
Racer share my
information? Except as
outlined in this
policy or on our Web
site, Vision Racer
never provides your
personal information
to third parties
without your
consent. Vision
Racer shares the

provide with Vision
Racer subsidiaries
and related
companies. If you
purchase a simulator
product other device
requiring service,
your personal

shared with the

subscribe.
Additionally, if you
express an interest
in a product
requiring a
particular type of
service, Vision
Racer may share your
personal information
with your local
service provider in
order to determine
whether such service
is available in your
area.
Vision Racer may
also share your
personal information
with third-party
business partners so
that they may
provide services to
Vision Racer that
are consistent with
the terms of this
Privacy Policy, and
this Web site (e.g.
database management,
sending targeted
e-mails, software
sales, and
conducting
promotions on behalf
of Vision Racer).
Vision Racer takes
great pride in
utilizing only
reputable business
partners. Vision
Racer may also, on
occasion, provide
personally
identifiable
information to
third-party
businesses as part
of a specific
product, service, or
promotion.
Vision Racer’s Web
site may also
utilize third party
vendors to provide
products and
services directly to
Vision Racer
consumers. Such
relationships are
designated with a
“Provided by
Company” legend or
logo, or other
similarly worded
designation. If you
desire to purchase a
product or service
from such third
party, your personal
information will be
collected by the
third-party company,
and shared with
Vision Racer. You
may review the
privacy practices of
the third party
either by clicking
the link on the
bottom of the page,

third party, your
personal information
is shared with the
software
developer/licensor
in order to register
you as a licensed
software user, and
to permit them to
provide you any
required support.
Although these
software developers
are encouraged to
develop and follow
appropriate privacy
policies, Vision
Racer cannot be
responsible for the
privacy practices of
such companies. If
you are concerned
about the privacy
policy of a certain
developer or
software company,
you may contact them
directly or visit
their individual Web
sites.
Vision Racer shares
Web site usage
information about
visitors to our Web
site, who have
received a targeted
promotional
campaign, with a
reputable
third-party
advertising company
for the purpose of
targeting future
campaigns and
upgrading visitor
information used in
reporting
statistics. Vision
Racer may also
disclose personal
information in
special cases when
we have reason to
believe that
disclosing this
information is
necessary to
identify, contact or
bring legal action
against someone who
may be violating
this site's Terms of
Use or may be
violating Vision
Racer's or other's
rights or causing
injury to or
interference with
Vision Racer's or
other's property.
Vision Racer may
also disclose or

faith that the law
requires it.

such information,

name from our
mailing list.

ask for your e-mail
address in order to
contact you in the
event you have won a
prize. When you
participate in these
types of promotions,
you may receive
promotion-related
e-mail. Occasionally
these

e-mail messages may
include targeted

you do not wish to
receive such
advertisements, you
can choose not to
participate in such
promotions or
contests.

Vision Racer uses
Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) encryption
technology, the
highest level of
security on the
Internet. The SSL
protocol provides
server
authentication, data
integrity, and
privacy on the Web.
This security
measure helps ensure
that no impostors,
eavesdroppers, or
vandals get your
personal
information. SSL not
only encrypts your
personal and
financial
information
transmitted,
including credit
card information,
but also verifies
the identity of the
server and that the
original message
arrives safely at
its destination.
However, no data
transmission over
the Internet can be
guaranteed to be
100% secure. As a
result, while we
strive to protect
your personal
information, Vision
Racer cannot ensure
or warrant the
security of any
information you
transmit to us or
from our Web site,
and therefore you
use our site at your
own risk. Once we
receive your
transmission, we use
our best effort to
ensure its security
on our systems.
As a global company
Vision Racer has
users all over the
world. When you give
Vision Racer
personal
information, that
information may be
sent electronically
to servers outside
of the country where
you originally
entered the
information. In
addition, that
information may be
used, stored and
processed outside of
the country where
you entered that
information.
Whenever Vision
Racer handles
personal
information,
regardless of where
this occurs, it
takes steps to
ensure that your
information is
treated securely and
in accordance with
the relevant Terms
of Use and this
Privacy Policy.
How
can I correct or
change my personal
information? If you would
like to review,
correct or change
any personal
information you have
provided, or remove
your name from our
mailing list, please
e-mail us using the
form on the
contact us page.
If you have
established a "user
profile" on a Vision
Racer Web site, you
may change the
information you
provided at anytime
by visiting that
portion of the Web
site and
resubmitting your
information.
What
about my child's
privacy? This site is
intended for use by
persons over the age
of 13. Vision Racer
does not seek to
collect information
about children under
the age of 13. No
information should
be submitted to or
posted on this Web
site by users under
13 years of age. If
a child under the
age of 13 submits
personal information
to this Web site, we
delete the
information as soon
as we discover it
and do not use it
for any other
purpose. Vision
Racer encourages
parents to take an
active role in their
children's use of
the Internet, and to
