1. Information We Collect.
We've designed our public Web sites to capture two types of information: automatic tracking and individually identifiable personal information ("personal information"). The first allows us to see which topics interest you most; the second helps us provide the services you requested.

• Automatic tracking information is gathered by following your "footsteps" online. Most Web browsers automatically provide this information to the sites they visit and display. This information is not personally identifiable. We do not collect any additional data from your computer, and we do not compare data provided by your browser with any other data we maintain. The routes you — and other visitors — choose helps us learn about the people who visit our sites. We use aggregate numbers to compile statistics, monitor trends and track site usage. We also use the information to make sure our technology is compatible with yours. We're then better able to offer content, products and services that match your needs.
• Personal information can be anything you've provided through our public Web sites that identifies you. For example: Your name, email address, and street address are types of personal information. We store this information behind a complex series of firewalls, in a way that maximizes security and confidentiality.

2. How We Use Your Information.

• We will only use the information to provide you with the services you have requested and as otherwise described in this Public Online Privacy Policy.
• We will NOT sell, rent, or license the personal information you provide within our public Web sites.
• We do NOT provide any personally identifiable information about our users to any third party.
• Access to the data you submit is limited to the authorized staff detailed in our Site Disclaimer under Security.

3. Use of Cookies.
We use "cookies" to personalize our site for you and to collect aggregate information about site usage by all of our users. A cookie is a text file that our web site transfers to your computer's hard drive for record keeping purposes. The cookie assigns a random, unique number to your computer. It does not contain information that would personally identify you.
