We take your privacy very seriously. Personally identifying information you provide will be used only as described, and is never sold or distributed to anyone else. We hate Spam. We do not give, sell, or transfer any personal information to a third party. If you give us information, we will only use this information to communicate with you about our services and the information we provide.
This is how we will handle information we learn about you from your visit to our Web site. If you visit our site to read or download information, we collect and store only the following information about you: Your Internet domain (for example, xcompany.com) if you use a private Internet access account, or your school.edu if you connect from an educational institution’s domain) and IP address (An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our Web site; the type of browser and operating system used to access our site; the date and time you access our site; the pages accessed; and if you linked to our Web site from another Web site, the address of that Web site.
We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site and to help us make our site more useful to visitors – to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits.
Treatment of Information Collected from E-Mails and Web Forms
If you identify yourself by sending an email, for example, in an e-mail message containing a question, a comment, or a complaint, you should know that the material you submit may be seen by various people.
We may enter the information you send into our electronic database, to share information with you about our services. If there is any concern about the communications, we may share your information with our attorneys, or with any government agency enforcing the law. We, or any of those government agencies, may contact you if there is a violation of the law. In other limited circumstances, including requests from private individuals, we may be required by law to disclose the information you submit.
Also, e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. If your communication is very sensitive or includes personal information such as your bank account, charge card, or Social Security number, you might want to send it by postal mail instead.
