21At Kingsoft office we value our relationships with our customers and therefore promise to you that we will never sell or rent your personal information to third party marketers. Within the Kingsoft Office organization, personal information may be shared with legal entities in order to establish how to develop superior services for our customers. Measures are taken however, to ensure that this data is handled sensitively, in accordance with Kingsoft's Customer Privacy Policy. Externally, Kingsoft Office has working relationships with companies who provide products and services to our customers on our behalf. It is therefore sometimes necessary to provide these companies with information about our customers so that they can:
18Account Information. If you create an account in connection with your use of any of the Services ("**Account**"), either through our Site or when you setup and register one of our Products, we'll collect certain information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, email address, postal address, phone number and credit card information ("**PII**"). If you create an Account using your login credentials from one of your accounts with certain third-party social networking services such as Facebook or Twitter (each, an "**SNS Account**"), we'll be able to access and collect your name and email address and other PII that your privacy settings on the SNS Account permit us to access. If you create an Account, we may also collect other information that is not considered PII because it cannot be used by itself to identify you.

22"**Cookies**" are small text files that are placed on your hard drive by a Web server when you access our Services. We may use both session Cookies and persistent Cookies to identify that you've logged in to the Services and to tell us how and when you interact with our Services. We may also use Cookies to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Services and to customize and improve our Services. Unlike persistent Cookies, session Cookies are deleted when you log off from the Services and close your browser. Although most browsers automatically accept Cookies, you can change your browser options to stop automatically accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting Cookies. Please note, however, that if you don't accept Cookies, you may not be able to access all portions or features of the Services. Some third-party services providers that we engage (including third-party advertisers) may also place their own Cookies on your hard drive. Note that this Privacy Policy covers only our use of Cookies and does not include use of Cookies by such third parties.

34Furthermore, Kingsoft is duty-bound to release customer information if it is in the interests of national security, enforcement of the law or other issues of public importance. Kingsoft is also required by law or litigation to disclose private information if it is deemed necessary.
24"**Web Beacons**" (also known as Web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, to monitor how many visitors view our Services, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the user's hard drive, Web Beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).
