(Last updated: 2008-04-09)
Microsoft is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy statement
explains data collection and use practices of the PS+ site (the "Site") hosted
for Microsoft by MeasureUp, LLC; it does not apply to other online or offline
Microsoft sites, products or services. By accessing the Site, you are
consenting to the information collection and use practices described in this
privacy statement.
Collecting Your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you or
allows us to contact you. The personal information we collect may include
e-mail address and Partner ID.
Use of Your Personal Information
The personal information collected on this Site will be used to operate the Site
and to provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have
requested or authorized.
In support of these uses, Microsoft may use personal information to provide you
with more effective customer service, to improve the Site and any related
Microsoft products or services, and to make the Site easier to use by
eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information or by
customizing the Site to your particular preference or interests.
We may use your personal information to provide you with important information
about the product or service that you are using, including critical updates and
notifications. Additionally, with your permission, we may send you information
about other Microsoft products and services, and/or share information with
Microsoft partners so they may send you information about their products and
services.
Microsoft occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on our
behalf, such as Web site hosting, packaging, mailing and delivering prizes,
answering customer questions about products and services, and sending
information about our products, special offers, and other new services. We will
only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the
service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information
and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Microsoft may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in
the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the
edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Microsoft or the Site;
(b) protect and defend the rights or property of Microsoft and our family of
Web sites; or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of
Microsoft employees or agents, users of Microsoft products or services, or
members of the public.
Personal information collected on the Site may be stored and processed in the
United States or any other country in which Microsoft or its affiliates,
subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using the Site, you consent
to any such transfer of information outside of your country. Microsoft abides
by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce
regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.
Control of Your Personal Information
Except as otherwise described in this statement, personal information you
provide on the Site will not be shared outside of Microsoft and its controlled
subsidiaries and affiliates without your permission. Please be aware that this
privacy statement and any choices you make on the Site will not necessarily
apply to personal information you may have provided to Microsoft in the context
of other, separately operated, Microsoft products or services.

Customer information is collected by MeasureUp, LLC, a Microsoft vendor. It is
stored at MeasureUp, LLC, plus sent back to Microsoft. You can review and edit
the personal information you provided at this Site by sending an email address
to support@measureup.com.
Security of Your Personal Information
Microsoft is committed to protecting the security of your personal information.
We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your
personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example,
we store the personal information you provide on computer servers with limited
access that are located in controlled facilities. Additionally, when we
transmit sensitive personal information (such as a credit card number) over the
Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to This Privacy Statement
We may occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also
revise the "last updated" date at the top of the privacy statement. For
material changes to this privacy statement, we will notify you either by
placing a prominent notice on the home page of our web site or by directly
sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this
privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the
personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes
