Privacy Policy

Use of Personal Information

Anovea does not require visitors to its Web site to provide any personal information at all. Personal information is defined as information that uniquely identifies an person, such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc.

The Anovea Web site may contain a link to the AnoveaWeb™ Demonstration program. Users of the AnoveaWeb™ Demonstration program may choose to provide personally identifiable information, such as an e-mail address, as their unique User Name when running the AnoveaWeb™ Demonstration program. The information you may provide as a User Name is used for only one purpose: to establish an entry for you in our internal authentication server which identifies you when you use the demonstration. Anovea will never mail you or contact you in any way based on information you may provide, nor is such information shared with any affiliate or business partner of Anovea or sold in any form.

Use of Voice Information

When you enroll with the AnoveaWeb™ Demonstration program by speaking your passphrase, the software on your computer employs sophisticated signal processing algorithms to extract from your passphrase sequences of numbers called coded feature vectors, which uniquely characterize your voice. These feature vectors are used to build the model of your voice that is stored in the AnoveaWeb™ database so that you can later verify your voice from anywhere on the Internet. The computer can only determine whether the feature vectors you record when you verify your voice match those stored in the database when you enrolled. It is not possible for Anovea or anyone else to use the feature vectors to determine either what you said or even what your voice sounds like.

Security

This site uses reasonable efforts to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Anovea's Web site may contain links to other Web sites. Anovea is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

Cookies

A cookie is a small bit of information that a Web site stores on your computer. When you revisit the Web site, your browser sends the information back to the site. This activity is invisible to you unless you have set your preferences so that you will be alerted when a cookie is being stored on your computer. There are several flavors of cookies that Web sites use: persistent cookies and per-session cookies. A persistent cookie is one that stays on your computer between sessions of using your browser. A per-session cookie is automatically removed from your computer after you exit your browser. You can change your browser preferences to prevent cookies of either flavor from being stored. If you choose to run the Anovea Web Demonstration, you will need to allow the use of per-session cookies to enable navigation and logic of the demonstration.

Internet Domain Information

Anovea keeps track of the Internet Domain Address (the IP address) from which people visit our web site, the types of browsers being used, what pages of our site are viewed (and for how long). We analyze this data only for trends and statistics, such as to see how many people have visited our site and from which countries. For most users, the IP address normally assigned to you temporarily by your Internet service provider when you connect to the Internet. Anovea has no way of knowing your name, e-mail address, postal address, or other information about you based on this domain information.
