RESPECT FOR COPYRIGHT OWNERSHIP AND LAW

On-line resource-sharing technologies have created opportunities to directly and more easily communicate data to others. Although Sun cannot universally prevent, control, monitor or record the sharing activities of peers and groups created by others using the Grid Engine technology, Sun strongly adheres to an overriding principle requiring the highest level of respect for the rights and property of copyright owners, including Sun, as paramount to the passion to collaborate and develop new technologies. All users and participants in this Grid Engine project are reminded to comply with applicable law and regulation, the Grid Engine license, Terms of Use, and these Guiding Principles concerning any use of copyrighted materials. In this regard, Sun maintains that development which makes it easier to create new products and services can be provided without infringing the intellectual property rights of others.

We want to give you information about our privacy policy and assure you that we take reasonable steps to see that it is followed within our company.

CHOICE

There are times when we may collect personal information from you. It is our intent to inform you before we do that and to tell you what we intend to do with the information. You will have the option not to provide the information, and in the future you will be able to "opt out" of certain uses of the information. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you can still visit most of this Web site, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services.

ACCURACY

We do our best to maintain the accuracy of personal information you supply to us; we are working on tools that will allow you to review and update your information in the future.
