| Our Commitment to Privacy
Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension
of our commitment to combine the highest-quality products
and services with the highest level of integrity in
dealing with our clients and partners. The Policy
is designed to assist you in understanding how we
collect, use and safeguard the personal information
you provide to us and to assist you in making informed
decisions when using our site and our products and
services. This statement will be continuously assessed
against new technologies, business practices and our
customers' needs.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with
two types of information: personal information you
knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on
an individual basis and Web site use information collected
on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our
Web site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Identifying Information
- Name
- Mailing address
- Email address
- Home and business phone number
- Other personal information
Email Information
In addition to providing the foregoing information
to our partners, 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 protections
for these electronic communications that we employ
in the maintenance of information received by mail
and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site
utilizes a standard technology called "cookies"
(see explanation below, "What Are 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.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to
Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for
purposes of administering our business activities,
providing customer service and making available other
products and services to our customers and prospective
customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information
we collect to notify you about important changes to
our Web site, new services and special offers we think
you will find valuable. The lists used to send you
product and service offers are developed and managed
under our traditional corporate standards designed
to safeguard the security and privacy of our customers’
personal information. As a customer, you will be given
the opportunity, at least once annually, to notify
us of your desire not to receive these offers.
What Are Cookies?
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.
