Optimate Computer Systems collects and uses information only as follows:

• Registration Information: This is the information you provide to us for product registration and billing purposes. We require your name, email address if any, and contact details. We will also need the Herd Prefix / Stud Name / Farm Name / Ranch Name of Optimate AlpaFarm clients. We do not on-sell, rent or in any other way disclose any information to any third party whatsoever.

• Email Address: We despise spam as much as you do. We will use email addresses only as a means of notifying existing clients of the latest version release or other need-to-know information relating to Optimate Computer Systems products. We run mailing lists for this purpose, and we first seek permission to subscribe clients to these lists. In other words, we believe in an opt-in system rather than an opt-out system.
  (NOTE: We strongly advise that if you are the recipient of spam that you never click on an "opt-out" link (most aren't even genuine!) or in any other way make known that your email address is legitimate. This only encourages more spam to come your way.)
