Statement of Privacy for this Website
Your privacy is important to us. Our goal is to provide you with an internet experience that delivers the information, resources and services that are most relevant and helpful to you. To achieve this goal, we may collect information during your visits to understand what differentiates you from our other users.
To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. Please read the following privacy policy for this website in full.
The Information We Collect
When you use a resource on our website (for example, submitting an inquiry through one of our forms), we may ask for your contact information (for example, name, phone, email, etc.) as well as a description of the incident or issue. Except in cases where information is essential for a particular resource, you always have a choice about whether or not to disclose information to us.
When you visit an internet website, you may disclose certain information about yourself, such as your internet protocol (IP) address, the time of your visit, the referring location and other information that may be available. This website, like many other websites, records basic information about visits. This information helps us identify which areas of our website are of interest to our visitors. Knowing that you use certain resources or features may help us to offer you better and more relevant content and resources. We also collect the internet protocol (IP) addresses of our visitors for the purposes of system administration.
To provide a customized, personal resource, we may use cookies to store and help track your information. For example, we may use cookies to help remind us who you are and to deliver content and resources based on previously provided information. Cookies enable you to use our resources more easily and to let us keep track of certain statistical information that helps us improve our site. For example, cookies may allow us to save passwords and preferences for you so that you won’t have to re-enter them the next time you visit.
Cookies are simply pieces of information sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. The use of cookies is relatively standard and you will likely find them used on most other major websites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can reset your browser either to notify you when you receive a cookie, or to refuse to accept cookies. You should understand that certain areas of many websites may not function properly if you set your browser to not accept cookies or if you reject a cookie. This may result in reduced functionality and a less personalized browsing experience.
We may offer a forum and we may archive forum discussion posts. You should remember that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online, such as through e-mail or discussion groups, your information can be collected and used by others. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to this website and you do so at your own risk. You are also solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords you set up and/or any account information.
We also may use third party advertisements to support our website. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our website, which will also send these advertisers information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited.
How We Protect Your Information
The privacy and protection of your personal information is very important to us. We only disclose any personally identifiable information about individual users in accordance with this privacy policy and our terms and conditions. We do not sell or rent your personal information.
We may disclose personally identifiable individual information and the other information you provide us to lawyers or law firms affiliated with us who are interested in determining whether your complaint or posting could form the basis of a lawsuit or entitle you to relief under a pending lawsuit.
We may also provide aggregate statistical information (for example, the state you live in) to third parties to describe our
services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes. We will not, however, disclose any personally identifiable information to these parties.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with applicable laws, valid legal process, a court order, a current judicial proceeding, or to protect our rights or property or the rights or property of third parties.
Please remember that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example on message boards, blogs posts or comments, through e-mail, contact forms, or in chat areas – that information can be collected and used by others. If you disclose any personally identifiable individual information online, you do so at your own risk.
Your access to some resources and content may be password protected. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. You should not disclose your user name and password to others. In addition, you may also wish to close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or an internet cafe.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be one hundred percent secure. Accordingly, despite our efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. You transmit all such information to this website at your own risk.
