Intelligent Editing ("us", "we", or "our") operates www.intelligentediting.com (the “Website”) and PerfectIt (the "Subscribed Services").
This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information when you use the Subscribed Services.
Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as our Service and Subscription Agreement.
The data we collect depends on whether you access the Website, if you sign up for our newsletter, and which version of PerfectIt you use:
Newsletter. We send out an email newsletter that may include your name and email address. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or instructions provided in any email we send.
Downloadable Software. PerfectIt Classic (formerly known as “PerfectIt Pro” or “PerfectIt Standard”) is the downloadable version of PerfectIt for PCs. It is usually referred to by its version number (for example, “PerfectIt 3” or “PerfectIt 4”).
Cloud Service. PerfectIt Cloud service is the version of PerfectIt available from the Microsoft Office Store, which works over the Internet, with automated updates and no installer. Your right to access or use PerfectIt Cloud services is provided as a service on a subscription basis. Each time that you access or use PerfectIt Cloud services, your Subscription will be verified. Certain limited information, including the Activation Information and information regarding your Microsoft account (the “Verification Information”) will be transmitted to us for this purpose only. If you use the PerfectIt Cloud service, your documents are transmitted to a server temporarily. Transmitted documents are encrypted and are not available to anyone but you.
Personal Information. While purchasing the Subscribed Services, we ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to, your email address, name, phone number, postal address, other information (“Personal Information”).
Information Collection and Use. During activation of the Subscribed Services, we will ask you to enter and transmit Activation Information. Your name and email address is the only Personal Information included in Activation Information. The Activation Information is used for verification purposes only so that we may activate your access to the Subscribed Services. The PerfectIt Classic software will not automatically collect or send any Personal Information or information about your computer software or hardware to us.

PerfectIt Classic software does not create or send Log Data.

If you are located outside United Kingdom and provide information to us, we may transfer the information, including Personal Information, to the United Kingdom and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer. If a dispute arises regarding the international transfer of data, you agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter.
