Dragon Soft is committed to protecting your privacy. You can visit most pages on our site without giving us any information about yourself.

To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
