If so, we will state this in the area of our Web site where we collect information for these additional purposes and will allow you to choose not to be contacted or receive additional information. We always let you decide, whether you want your personally identifiable information to be used for the purpose of providing you with additional information about our products, services, news and events. Rosetta Biosoftware will use personal information only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. Rosetta Biosoftware will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is relevant to its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.
Rosetta Biosoftware gives you the opportunity to "opt out" from allowing Rosetta Biosoftware to disclose your personally identifiable information to a third party or to use it for a purpose incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally collected or authorized.

Use of non-personally identifiable information
Our Web site routinely collects non-personally identifiable information, such as the number of visitors, the most frequently viewed pages, the average time spent per visit, and other anonymous "click stream" information related to the use of the Web site. This anonymous information permits Rosetta Biosoftware to determine the general preferences of our online visitors, and is collected and stored in our Web server logs.
For some personal registration features, where permitted by law, we use cookie technology to remember your selections. We DO NOT store personally identifiable information in cookie files. Although Rosetta Biosoftware generally does not link log file or "click stream" data generated via cookies with the personally identifiable information that we collect from you via the personalized services on our Web site, we may request your consent to do so in the future if we think that it may enable us to provide better service to you.
