Commitment To Your Privacy
This site is owned and operated by Logiscape Technologies
Inc. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance
to us. At Logiscape Technologies, we want to make your
experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about
our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms
and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that
information. This privacy statement discloses what information
we gather and how we use it.
Definition of the Information Logiscape Technologies
gathers and keeps track of.
Logiscape Technologies gathers two types of information
about users:
• Information that users provide through optional,
voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions
to receive more information on our services, special
promotions
or to receive our newsletter.
• Information Logiscape Technologies gathers through
aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying
page views throughout our sites. This information allows
us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and
to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand
the demographics of our audience. Because Logiscape
Technologies derives its revenue mainly from its services,
providing such aggregated demographic data is essential
to keeping our services tailored to our users. Under
no circumstances does Logiscape Technologies divulge
any information about an individual user to a third
party.
Logiscape Technologies Gathers User Information In
The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We may offer the following free services, which require
some type of voluntary submission of personal information
by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users.
Logiscape Technologies gathers the email addresses of
users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves
from this mailing list by following the link provided
in every newsletter that points users to the subscription
management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters
at the time of registration.
2. "E-mail this to a friend" Service
Our site users can choose to electronically forward
a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking
"e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide
their email address, as well as that of the recipient.
This information is used only in the case of transmission
errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who
sent the email. The information is not used for any
other purpose.
3. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can
easily share their opinions with other users and see
what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions
or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not
identifiable to any particular user. Logiscape Technologies
may use a system to "tag" users after they
have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular
question. This tag is not correlated with information
about individual users.
4. Surveys
Logiscape Technologies may occasionally conduct user
surveys to better target our content to our audience.
We never share any of this information about specific
individuals with any third party.
USAGE TRACKING
Logiscape Technologies tracks user traffic patterns
throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate
this information with data about individual users. Logiscape
Technologies does break down overall usage statistics
according to a user's domain name, browser type, and
MIME type by reading this information from the browser
string (information contained in every user's browser).
Logiscape Technologies sometimes tracks and catalogs
the search terms that users enter in our Search function,
but this tracking is never associated with individual
users. We use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based on
traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs overall.
This helps us continue to build a better service for
you.
COOKIES
We may place a text file called a "cookie"
in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself
does not contain Personal Information although it will
enable us to relate your use of this site to information
that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But
the only personal information a cookie can contain is
information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read
data off your hard disk or read cookie files created
by other sites. Logiscape Technologies uses cookies
to track user traffic patterns (as described above).
Our advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to
better track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your
browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before
accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message
with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned
on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to
participate actively in message boards, forums, polling
and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
Logiscape Technologies uses any information voluntarily
given by our users to enhance their experience in our
network of sites, whether to provide interactive or
personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare
future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily
provide in order to send out electronic newsletters
and to enable users to participate in polls and surveys.
We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular
schedule, and occasionally send out special editions
when we think subscribers might be particularly interested
in something we are doing. Logiscape Technologies never
shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties,
including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based on
traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs overall.
This helps us continue to build a better service for
you. We track search terms entered in Search function
as one of many measures of what interests our users.
But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
Logiscape Technologies uses the above-described information
to tailor our content to suit your needs and help our
advertisers better understand our audience's demographics.
This is essential to keeping our service free. We will
not share information about individual users with any
third party, except to comply with applicable law or
valid legal process or to protect the personal safety
of our users or the public.
SECURITY
Logiscape Technologies operates secure data networks
protected by industry standard firewall and password
protection systems. Our security and privacy policies
are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary
and only authorized individuals have access to the information
provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical.
Such choices include:
• Opting not to register to receive our electronic
newsletters.
• Opting not to participate in certain interactive
areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather
any personally identifiable information from our users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and
use of this information by Logiscape Technologies. If
we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post
those changes on this page so that you are always aware
of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
what circumstances we disclose it.
