We will request information from you if you establish a personal profile on our site to gain access to certain content.  This will require you to input personal information that may include but not be limited to your name and email address.  If you send us personal correspondence, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities on our site, we may collect that information in a specific file.

 

We use log files to track certain information to measure and analyze traffic and usage of our site.  This information may include your IP address, what browser you are using, the URL that you came from, and the files that you download or view.  We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information.  This means that your session will be tracked, but you will be anonymous.

 

We use cookies to help personalize your experience on our site.  A cookie is a small data file that a web server sends to your browser and stores on your hard drive.  For example, a cookie allows you to store your username and password so that you do not have to login each time you visit our site.  Cookies do not read data off your hard drive or read cookie files created by other websites.  We store minimal personal information in cookies, and protect this information.  We do not store complete records in cookies.  Most browsers automatically accept cookies.  Most browsers can also be configured to prevent cookies, although you may not be able to access some parts of our site without cookies.

We may also use information about you for market research purposes and to generate statistics and aggregate reports for internal use, which we may disclose to affiliates, subsidiaries, licensees, successors, partners, and potential investors.  These statistics and aggregate reports will not contain any personally identifiable information about you, and your identity will be kept anonymous.

 

If necessary, we may also disclose information about you to companies and individuals that we engage to perform services for us or on our behalf, including web host servers.  These companies and individuals will be obligated to keep your personal information confidential, and will have access to your personal information only on an as-needed basis to perform their services.
