Collected Information
When you visit our site to view any pages, you do so without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. While we do not collect identifying information about visitors to our site, we do use standard software to collect information for the strict purpose of tracking activity on our site. This allows us to better understand how many people use our site and which pages and features are most popular. The information we normally collect and store is:

• Date and time of site access.
• The page and page components you requested.
• IP address that the connection was initiated by.
• Server name and IP address.
• How long it took for our server to send the data.
• Browser type.

Cookies
If a visitor has enabled cookies in a browser, we may send a cookie file that will only store a unique, random ID. This allows us to provide our site visitors with certain conveniences, such as delivering unique content and helping with lost passwords. This information is not shared or transmitted beyond the session.

E-mail & Forms
There are instances where you may elect to provide us with personal information. If you fill out one of the forms or send us email, you are transmitting the information that appears to you in the form or the message. This will typically include information like your name, mailing address, email address, the kind of request you are making, and any other information necessary to fulfill your request. You never transmit personally identifying information that you do not enter yourself. And this is always your option; this information cannot be collected unless you specifically elect to send it to us. This information is used only for the purpose of fulfilling the request or for contacting you directly and is not given, rented, or sold to any other organization.
