Your privacy is important to us and we want you to feel comfortable in visiting our site. Any personal information that you may give us, including your e-mail address, is used only in the following ways:
- In visiting our site, if you give us personal data in order to receive any type of information in return from us, we collect and store that data. That information is helpful to better design our site because we know the frequency of visits to the individual pages within our site.
- In visiting our site, if you view specific pages or download information from specific pages, we track visits to those pages in order to measure the number of visitors to our web site.
