Confidentially
is of the utmost importance to us and visitors to this Web site. We
do NOT provide information about our Web site traffic patterns and related
Web site information to third parties, including personally identifying
data, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
Similar
to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology
called "cookies" and Web server logs to collect information
about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and
Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed,
time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and
just after our Web site. This information is collected on an aggregate
basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual.
Cookies
are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web servers to recognize
the computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of data
that are stored by a user’s Web browser on the user’s hard drive.
Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one Web page
to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by the same user
or to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions on
related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from Web page
to Web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet.
Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
We
use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and Web server logs
to gather information about our Web site users’ browsing activities,
in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers.
This information assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in the
most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Web site to better
meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies
help us collect important business and technical statistics. The information
in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to our Web site
as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to count
how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our Web site’s visitor
capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual
email address or any personally identifying information about you although
they do permit us to send focused online banner advertisements or other
such responses to you.
We
may disclose information when legally compelled to do so; in other words,
when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection
of our legal rights.
If
you choose to correspond further with us through email, we may retain
the content of your email messages together with your email address and
our responses. We provide the same strict protections for these electronic
communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received
by mail and telephone.
