WE DO USE COOKIES

Cookies are small data files stored by your browser in your computer when you visit a web site. Cookies are used to recognize users during visits and to improve web site performance.

We do use cookies in conjunction with some of the features on our sites. These cookies allow certain features to remember your last visit and display appropriate information, or to log in to a Subscription Access area. We do not use these cookies to track your activities within our sites or elsewhere on the Internet, and we do not disclose any information related to these cookies to anyone except our staff.

HOW DO WE PROTECT INFORMATION WE COLLECT?

We offer secure web pages to collect certain kinds of user information and we store certain kinds of data in encrypted form. We also establish and maintain reasonable practices to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of data stored on our internal computer systems. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by our site reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP USER INFORMATION?

Generally, we retain user data on our server or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it. We may alter this practice according to changing legal and business requirements. For example, we may delete some data if needed to free up storage space. Sensitive personal data is not stored on our servers for more than 24 hours.

Data management requests are administered in an orderly manner to the extent feasible and within our direct control. Note: we have greater control over recently collected data than for archived data. Once data is removed from the system and archived, it may not be feasible to accommodate specific requests. In those cases, our general data retention policy applies.
