Your Privacy is important to IGNITe/400
Your privacy is important to IGNITe/400. This statement
discloses the information practices for IGNITe/400 Web
sites, including what type of information is gathered
and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom
the information is shared.
Personal Information
In general, you can visit IGNITe/400 on the Web without
telling us who you are and without revealing any information
about yourself. There are times, however, when we may
need information from you.
IGNITe/400 is an interactive site that allows our members
to post to the web site. We require that you provide
information that identifies you and informs us how we
may contact you. You by agreeing to our membership agreement
take personal repsonsiblity for anything you post on
our site, email lists, or other communications forums.
The information we capture is kept in strict confidence
under the terms of our membership agreement. We may
send you mail via our newsletters and membership mailings
from time to time. You may always opt out of any mailing
except for administrative mailings which we try to keep
down to no more than one or two per year.
We do not under any circumstances without your explicit
permission provide your personal informatin to any thrid
parties.
Children's data
While few, if any, of IGNITe/400's Web sites are directed
towards children, we are committed to comply with applicable
laws and requirements, such as the United States’
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Cookies, web beacons and other technologies
We sometimes collect anonymous information from visits
to our sites to help us provide better customer service.
For example, we keep track of the domains from which
people visit and we also measure visitor activity on
IGNITe/400 web sites, but we do so in ways that keep
the information anonymous. This anonymous information
is sometimes known as “clickstream data.”
IGNITe/400 or its analytic vendors may use this data
to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide
better customer service.
Also, when we collect personal data from you in connection
with a transaction we may extract some information about
that transaction in an anonymous format and combine
it with other anonymous information such as clickstream
data. This anonymous information is used and analyzed
only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends
and patterns. None of this information is reviewed at
an individual level. If you do not want your transaction
details used in this manner, you can either disable
your cookies or opt-out at the order or request page.
We collect the anonymous information we mentioned in
the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies,
including one called "cookies". A cookie is
an element of data that a Web site can send to your
browser, which may then be stored on your system. Some
IGNITe/400 pages use cookies, sent by IGNITe/400 or
its third party vendors, or other technologies to better
serve you when you return to the site. You can set your
browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving
you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can
also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do
so, however, some areas of some sites may not function
properly.
Some IGNITe/400 Web sites also use Web beacon technologies
to better tailor those sites to provide better customer
service. These “Web beacons” are placed on
a number of pages across IGNITe/400’s Web sites.
When a visitor accesses these pages, an anonymous notice
of that visit is generated which may be processed by
us or by our vendors. These Web beacons work in conjunction
with cookies. If you don’t want to associate your
anonymous cookie information with your visits to these
pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies.
If you turn off cookies, web beacon technologies will
still detect anonymous visits to these pages, but the
notices they generate cannot be associated with other
anonymous cookie information and are disregarded.
