3 Collection of Information During Purchase

License purchase is initiated on Silva Elm's website with information entry restricted to license quantity and your chosen currency.

At the point of payment, you are transferred to the Worldpay website for secure payment processing.

On purchase completion, we are sent payment details of your Worldpay transaction to fulfil our billing obligation and provision of a License Key via email. Worldpay do not send us credit card information other than the card type used. We keep very limited personal information about your purchase (name, billing address and email address) to verify enquiries regarding your license purchase and for "Product Activation" via a Registration Procedure.

Worldpay's Privacy Notice details how personal information collected during a transaction is processed.

Silva Elm will not sell, share, or rent any information provided by you during your purchase to third parties.

 

4 Collection of Information for Product Activation via Registration

Silva Elm reserves the right to optionally require Product Activation via a Registration Procedure to unlock software capabilities of your Sense product software installation.

In circumstances where Product Activation is required, a Registration Code ("code") is generated from general information gathered from your computer's system components during software installation and used as the basis of limiting use to that machine. No personally-identifiable information of any kind is used in the generation of this code and in order to ensure your total privacy, this information is processed into a non-unique one-way encryption that cannot be reverse-calculated to the original computer information.

Users are requested to supply this code with their License Key (supplied on license purchase), the product name and version in order to register with Silva Elm. In return, Silva Elm provides a Product Key for Product Activation. This information content applies to both direct online (live) registration from your licensed software or offline (indirect via a different computer) registration via email.

The user supplied information is used solely for the purpose of provision of the Product Key. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to third parties.
