Security of Personal Information Collected by the Site
Consistent with the Policies set forth in this Privacy Statement, the Site has adopted and implemented reasonable and technologically feasible procedures for maintaining the security, accuracy and integrity of all personal information relating to you that is collected by the Site. As “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet, you should consider any information provided to or collected by the Site as non-confidential, and consequently the Site assumes no liability or responsibility if any information relating to you or any other person is intercepted and/or used by an unintended recipient. The Site also links to a wide variety of other web sites, and the Site may contain advertisements of third parties. We are not responsible for the content and the privacy practices of other web sites or how they treat information about their visitors and users, and encourage you to examine each site’s privacy policy and disclaimers and make your own decisions regarding the accuracy, reliability, and correctness of material and information found.
Our Use of Your Information
The Site may collect, use and store (but only in its own data facility) http requests to our server. These logs capture computer information, navigation and clickstream data. Some of the information collected does not identify who you are. Other information, such as your domain name or IP address, may identify you depending on the naming standards followed by your Internet Service Provider. You may wish to ask them about their policies and practices.
