Privacy

Here is how we handle information about your visit to our Website:

Information Collected and Stored Automatically

If you visit our site to read or download information, we may collect and store the following information about your visit:

1. The name of the Internet domain (for example, "yourcompany.com" if you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if you are connecting from a university's domain) and the IP address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you are using the Internet) from which you access our site;

2. The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;

3. The date and time you access our site;

4. The Internet address of the Website from which you linked directly to our site; and

5. The pages you visit and the information you request.

This information is primarily collected for statistical analysis and technical improvements to the site. We may use computer systems or software programs to create summary statistics, which may be used for such purposes as assessing what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas. In certain circumstances, however, we may take additional steps to identify you based on this information and we may share this information, including your identity, with other companies or agencies.

If You Send Us Personal Information

If you choose to provide us with personal information, such as by sending an e-mail or by filling out a form and submitting it through our Website, we will use that information to respond to your message or to fulfill the stated purpose of the communication. Remember that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. If your communication is sensitive or includes personal information you may prefer to send it by postal mail instead.

We may share the information you give us with a government agency if your inquiry relates to that agency. In other limited circumstances, such as responses to requests from Congress and private individuals, we may be required by law to disclose information you submit. Before you submit personal information, such as on an online form, you may be given more specific guidance as to how your personal information may be used.
