Thank you for visiting our web site and reviewing our Privacy Policy. We
remind you that if you link to a site outside of our web site, you are subject
to the policies of the new site.
A. Information Collected and Stored Automatically
If you visit our site to read or download information, we collect and store
the following information about your visit:
- The name of the Internet domain (for example, "your-company.com" if you
use a private Internet access account, or "your-school.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;
- The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
- The date and time you access our site;
- The Internet address of the Web site from which you linked directly to
our site; and
- The pages you visit and the information you request.
This information is primarily collected for statistical analysis and
technical improvements to the site. This computer system uses 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 another related company.
B. If You Send Us Personal Information
You do not have to provide any personal information to visit this Web site.
If you choose to provide us with personal information, such as by sending a
message to an e-mail address on this Web site or by filling out a form and
submitting it through our Web site, we will use that information to respond to
your message or to fulfill the stated purpose of the communication. If you
submit your resume to us electronically we will use your personal information
to consider your application for employment. We do not collect or use
information for commercial marketing except as stated on "opt-in" web forms.
We may share information you give us with contractors acting on our behalf
or with another related company if your inquiry relates to that company. In
other limited circumstances, such as responses to requests from law
enforcement and private individuals, we may be required by law to disclose
information you submit. If you provide comments in response to a request for
public comments we may make those comments as well as your identity available
to the public in a publication or by posting them on our Web site. Where
possible we may give you more specific guidance at the point of collection
regarding how your personal information may be used or disclosed.
Electronically submitted information is maintained and destroyed according
to the principles of the Federal Records Act and the regulations and records
schedules of the National Archives and Records Administration, and in some
cases may be covered by the Privacy Act and subject to the Freedom of
Information Act. A discussion of your rights under these laws can be found
here:

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.
C. Cookies
"Cookies" are small bits of text that are either used for the duration of a
session ("session cookies"), or saved on a user's hard drive in order to
identify that user, or information about that user, the next time the user
logs on to a Web site ("persistent cookies"). Our web site and its component
sites do not use persistent cookies. One or more of the company's component
sites may use session cookies to provide streamlined navigation throughout
their sites and for statistical analysis. These session cookies are deleted
from the component's server soon after your session ends and are not collected
or saved. You can set up your Web browser to inform you when cookies are set
or to prevent cookies from being set. You can still use our Web site if you do
not accept the cookies, but you may be unable to use certain cookie-dependent
features.
For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available
to all users, this company computer system employs software programs to monitor
network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change
information, or otherwise cause damage. Anyone using this system expressly
consents to such monitoring and is advised that if such monitoring reveals
evidence of possible abuse or criminal activity, such evidence may be provided
to appropriate law enforcement officials. Unauthorized attempts to upload or
change information on this server are strictly prohibited and may be punishable
by law, including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National
Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1996.
