Security

PTC employs reasonable measures to maintain all personally identifiable information provided by you on computer servers in a controlled and secured environment in an effort to hinder unauthorized access, loss, alteration, use or disclosure of such information.  Unfortunately, the nature of the Internet is such that information may be transmitted over networks without appropriate security measures and may be accessed, deleted, altered, used or disclosed by unauthorized persons.

We use reasonable measures to limit the disclosure of the data you provide to us only to certain staff within PTC and its affiliates (i.e. staff whose job it is to process your inquiries and survey answers or otherwise to administer PTC’s website, and those staff involved in the provision of PTC services and products which may be of interest to you) and to require that they process the data only for the purposes identified in this privacy policy.

To protect PTC’s customers from fraudulent transactions on PTC's e-commerce websites, all orders are subject to review and verification. As part of the verification process, an order may be temporarily placed on hold in order to verify credit card billing information, which may include contacting the credit card holder.
