I comply with a variety of privacy principles, all of which are aimed at protecting your security, as well as the security of my website.

Information Collected and Stored Automatically:
If all you do during your visit is browse through the Web site, read pages, or download information, the only information I will gather and store about your visit is the following information:

• The Internet domain (for example, "aol.com" or "X-company.com") from which you access the Internet;

• The type of browser and operating system and connection speed used to access the site;
• The date and time you access the site;
• The pages you visit; and

This information is used for site management purposes only. It will help me and my staff learn about the areas of the site that are of the most and least interest, the number of visitors to my site, and the types of technology my visitors use. For users that simply browse and download information, I do not track or record any personal information about you and your visit.

Sending Me Personal Information:
If you choose to provide me with personal information, such as if you send me an e-mail or you fill out a form with your personal information and submit it through my website, I collect and store your e-mail address and the content of your communication in order to consider and, as appropriate, reply to your communication.

In order to better serve your needs, I may share the information you give me with another government agency that is better equipped to respond to your concerns. Additionally, federal law may require that certain unlawful communications be forwarded to appropriate law enforcement agencies.
