Different data protection laws may apply. St. Clair Software takes all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that personal data is transferred and treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Do-Not-Track Signal

There are different ways you can prevent tracking of your online activity. One of them is setting a preference in your browser that informs websites that you do not want to be tracked. This is referred to as a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") signal.

We do not support Do-Not-Track.
