<title>Oracle VM VirtualBox Privacy Information</title>
<body>
<p>
Version 5, Dec 13, 2012
</p>
<p>
The Oracle Privacy Policies posted on
<ph>https://www.oracle.com/legal/privacy/privacy-policy.html</ph>
apply to your personal data collected and used by Oracle. The
following privacy information describes in more detail which
information is exchanged between the Oracle VM VirtualBox application and
Oracle, and which information is collected by the virtualbox.org
website.
</p>
<p><b outputclass="bold">§ 1 virtualbox.org.</b> The
"virtualbox.org" website logs anonymous usage information such as
your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral
source, length of visit and number of page views while you visit
(collectively, "anonymous data"). In addition, but only if you
choose to register, the website's bug tracking and forum services
store the data you choose to reveal upon registration, such as your
user name and contact information.
</p>
<p><b outputclass="bold">§ 2 Cookies.</b> The virtualbox.org
website, the bug tracker and the forum services use cookies to
identify and track the visiting web browser and, if you have
registered, to facilitate login. Most browsers allow you to refuse
to accept cookies. While you can still visit the website with
cookies disabled, logging into the bug tracker and forum services
will most likely not work without them.
</p>
<p><b outputclass="bold">§ 3 Oracle VM VirtualBox registration
process.</b> The Oracle VM VirtualBox application may ask that the
user optionally register with Oracle. If you choose to register,
your name, e-mail address, country and company will be submitted to
Oracle and stored together with the IP address of the submitter as
well as product version and platform being used.
</p>
<p><b outputclass="bold">§ 4 Update notifications.</b> The
Oracle VM VirtualBox application may contact Oracle to find out whether a
new version of Oracle VM VirtualBox has been released and notify the user
if that is the case. In the process, anonymous data such as your IP
address and a non-identifying counter, together with the product
version and the platform being used, is sent so that the server can
find out whether an update is available. By default, this check is
performed once a day. You change this interval or disable these
checks altogether in the Oracle VM VirtualBox preferences.
</p>
<p><b outputclass="bold">§ 5 Usage of personal information.</b>
Oracle may use anonymous and personal data collected by the means
above for statistical purposes as well as to automatically inform
you about new notices related to your posts on the bug tracker and
forum services, to administer the website and to contact you due to
technical issues. Oracle may also inform you about new product
releases related to Oracle VM VirtualBox.
</p>
<p>
In no event will personal data without your express consent be
provided to any third parties, unless Oracle may be required to do
so by law or in connection with legal proceedings.
</p>
<p><b outputclass="bold">§ 6 Updates.</b> Oracle may update the
privacy policy at any time by posting a new version at
<ph>https://www.oracle.com/legal/privacy/privacy-policy.html</ph>
and the privacy information will be kept up to date in the
documentation which comes with the Oracle VM VirtualBox application. You
should check these places occasionally to ensure you are happy with
any changes.
