Frames

Some of our pages utilize framing techniques to serve content to/from our partners while preserving the look and feel of our site. Please be aware that you are providing your personal information to these third parties and not to www.liferay.com.

Facebook Connect and Open ID

You can log in to our website using sign-in services such as Facebook Connect or an Open ID provider. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain Personal Information with us such as your name (first and last) and email address to pre-populate our sign up form.

Security of your Personal Information

For our users' security, Liferay utilizes a combination of industry-standard security technologies, procedures, and organizational measures to help protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Liferay DXP, the platform on which our website is built, has been rigorously tested and undergone white box and black box scans by leading application security testing firm Veracode.. Additionally, Liferay sponsors a security program for reporting security vulnerabilities by the open source community, customers, and independent security researchers. When you enter your personal information we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

Entry into our datacenter is restricted by multiple levels of physical access controls, including key card readers and security systems that limit movement within the facility to authorized areas.

Liferay authorizes access to Personal Information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities. While we strive to protect your Personal Information and follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We recommend you to take every precaution in protecting your Personal Information when you are on the Internet. If you have any questions about security on our website, you can contact us at webmaster@liferay.com.

Your California Privacy Rights

Residents of the State of California, under a new provision of the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed Personal Information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a Privacy Policy that gives either an Opt-out or Opt-in choice for use of your Personal Information by third parties (such as advertisers) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

You are a California resident and want to request information on how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, please send a request to legal@liferay.com.
