How we treat your personal information
Surf-VHDL considers all information collected to be our information. It will be collected from you via the forms in various locations on Surf-VHDL websites and from your voluntary participation in product improvement programs, but will not be shared with, bartered, or sold to any third party.
At times, we disclose relevant information about our customers to our contractors in order for them to provide specific services for Surf-VHDL, or to distributors to fulfill a customer order. Our contractors and distributors are bound by strict contractual requirements to keep all information they receive confidential and to use such information solely on behalf of Surf-VHDL. We take reasonable measures to protect the information you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.
We collect information from you for the purposes of fulfilling your requests, improving your experience on the Surf-VHDL websites, improving our ability to create individually relevant communications to you about our products and services and improving our products and features to help better solve design problems. You may choose to not supply any personal information to us; however, doing so will limit your access to certain content on our site, such as product demonstrations, white papers, and the like.
How we treat email lists

Individuals can sign up to join our mailing lists in several ways, for example; in response to an email message or by using a form on our website. Other than disclosing to contractors as required for them to perform specific services for Surf-VHDL, we do not sell, trade, lease, rent, loan or otherwise disclose the addresses on these lists to any third party.
