Public Forums
Portions of this site make email mailing lists, chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
Collection of Data
General: At no time, unless such disclosure is required by law or a user specifically authorizes such disclosure, will we disclose individual user personal information that is not publicly available to unrelated third parties.
Forms: When specifically requested by the user, we use customer contact information from registration forms to send the user information about our services. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the user when necessary.
Financial Information: Where on-line purchases are requested by the user, we collect financial information (such as account or credit card numbers) in order to complete the transaction. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services.
Technical Information: We track the domains from which people visit this site and analyze this data for trends and statistics. Subject to the provisions of this Privacy Policy, we may use accumulated data for different purposes, including but not limited to marketing analysis, service evaluation and planning.
We may collect and use your IP address and browser information to help diagnose problems with our servers and to gather broad demographic information.
Choice
Cookies: Portions of this site may use "cookies" to keep track of a user's shopping cart, or to deliver content specific to a user's interests. A "cookie" is an element of data that is sent to a user's browser when they visit this site which, in turn, may store that element on the user's hard drive or memory.
We may from time to time use an outside ad company to display ads on this site. These ads may contain cookies. While we may use cookies in other parts of this site, cookies received with banner ads are collected by the ad company, and we do not have direct access to this information.
At his or her option and at his or her sole expense and responsibility, any user may block or delete our cookies from his or her hard drive. However, by disabling cookies, certain site features and functionality may no longer work properly, or at all.
"Opt-in" Emails: Users may "opt-in" to receive site notifications, newsletters or other information via email. Users may remove themselves from such services at their discretion. Any email sent to an "opt-in" list will include directions for how a user may remove him or herself from the list, or a URL where the user may find such directions.
Email Display: In some cases, users may have the opportunity to use a service of this site to send electronic mail to another user or email list. In such cases, a user's valid email address and real name will be included with such messages. In order to prevent abuse, users may not opt-out of such a display, but may choose to refrain from using said service to transmit an email message.
Surveys and Resulting Information: Subject to the foregoing, we may from time to time, conduct surveys or other studies for marketing and/or planning purposes. Participation in such surveys is at the user's option; as we do not conduct mandatory surveys.
With respect to information collected from such surveys or studies, and in the event that responses are to be publicly disclosed, users will be notified at the time they take the survey and we will disclose only aggregate information regarding users responses, and not personal information identifying any specific individual. Circumstances under which we would publicly disclose such aggregate information include, but are not limited to, sharing survey results with the site population, providing data for publication on user preferences and/or demographics in white papers, and publicizing overall usage data in press communications.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases where surveys allow users to submit written comments, and where users are advised of the possibility of such disclosure at the time they take the survey, we reserve the right to disclose text information provided by any user through such a survey, provided that no personal information identifying that user is disclosed.
