Privacy Policy
HomeCollection of Information
If you do nothing
during your visit except browse through our website's portal, or view or
download information, IAC will automatically collect and store certain
information about your visit. Your browser software automatically transmits
most of this information to us; however, this information does not identify you
personally. One way of collecting this information is by way of data tokens
called "cookies." A cookie is a small text file that contains information about
you that IAC's computers store on your computer's hard drive. We may use
cookies to identify you and your computer each time you return to this website
so that you will know what you have previously viewed. Most browsers allow the
user to set some level of control over which cookies are accepted and how your
browser uses them. Many browsers will allow you to only accept cookies from
known, reliable websites that you select, or you may set your browser to refuse
cookies entirely.
Our Use of Aggregate Information
IAC records all
information available about the pages viewed by visitors to this website. The
primary purpose of collecting this aggregate information is to be able to track
access to this website by way of tracking the Internet address of the domains
from which you visit, and by analyzing this data for trends and statistical
analysis. IAC collects and stores the
information about your visit to this website as follows:
- The IP address (an IP address is a numerical sequence that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you connect to the Internet) from which you accessed this website;
- the type of browser and operating system you used to access this website;
- the date and time you accessed this website;
- the pages you viewed, including the images and the text that loaded for each page;
- the documents you may have downloaded, including PDF (Portable Document Format) files; and,
- if you were referred to this website, the referring website's URLs.
Once the information stated above is collected and stored, our Internet
management software will map the IP addresses into their Internet domain names
making it possible to determine, from where you accessed this website, and
whether you accessed this website through a private Internet access account, an
educational institution, a government agency, or any other location accessible
through the World Wide Web. The information automatically recognized and
recorded is not personally identifiable and is used only to improve the content
of our website and make them more user-friendly.
Your privacy is
important to IAC; however, we
reserve the right to use the aggregate information collected to identify
visitors when we may feel it
necessary to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of use policies
and practices, to protect this website or its services, or where it is
otherwise enforced by government authorities.
Our Use of Personal Information
If you supply IAC with your e-mail address or your
postal mailing address, you may receive periodic mailings from us with
information regarding new products and services as well as upcoming events and
announcements. If you do not wish to receive such mailings, please advise IAC accordingly. If you supply IAC with your telephone number, you
may receive a telephone call from us with information regarding new products
and services as well as upcoming events and announcements. If you do not wish
to receive such telephone calls, please advise IAC accordingly. If you supply IAC with your personal data in response to posted employment or
career opportunities, you will be contacted only when your qualifications and
experience match those for the positions posted.
Sharing of Personal
Information
Personal data
submitted to IAC is only used,
and available to employees managing this information, for the purposes of
contacting you or sending you correspondence based on your request for
information, and to contract service providers for the purpose of providing
services relating to our efforts to successfully communicate with you. All
personal data communicated to IAC
are kept confidential and are not used for marketing purposes or distributed to
other organizations; this includes sharing, renting, or selling personal data
to others, for any reason whatsoever, without your advance permission, or
unless otherwise required by government authorities.
Notification of
Changes
Privacy is an evolving
consumer and corporate issue that is complicated by the continuous
implementation of new and emerging technologies utilized by both Internet
providers and users alike. IAC reserves the right to at any time, and/or from
time to time, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, and/or discontinue,
temporarily or permanently, in whole or in part, this Privacy Policy, and/or
when cooperation with government authorities or regulatory bodies may be
required. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, IAC will make
accessible and display the changes on this website to keep you, the user,
advised of any revisions to the types of information we collect and if
applicable, the types of third parties with whom we may share the information
collected, so please review this Privacy Policy frequently.
