Privacy Policy
Personally Identifiable Information
We use the term “personally identifiable information” to mean any information that could reasonably be used to identify you, including your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, Social Security number, birth date, bank account information, credit card information, or any combination of information that could be used to identify you.
Information Voluntarily Provided by You
This site collects voluntary information from you only through the e-mails that you send through this site and the blog entries and blog comments that you will make at this site. All e-mails sent by you to this site and some blog entries that you make at this site will contain personally identifiable information. Please do not leave personally identifiable information as these comments will be available for viewing on this site. If you leave personally identifiable information such as name, email or phone number you are doing so voluntarily and Immgen.com will not be held responsible for the information you provide.
Information Automatically Collected and Stored by this Site
This site does not collect “cookies”, but does collect and store indefinitely your Internet Protocol (“IP”)address, which does not identify you as an individual, as well as information about the date and time of your visit, whether a file requested from your website exists, and how many “bytes” of information were transmitted to your website over the Web from this site. We use your IP address to assess the frequency of visits to this site and the popularity of its various pages and functions. We will not attempt to match any personally identifiable information that you provide to us with your IP address, unless there are reasonable grounds to believe that doing so would provide information that is relevant and material to a criminal investigation.
Security
Because this site does not encrypt incoming e-mail, you should not send information that you consider highly sensitive through this Web site. We use standard security measures to ensure that your personally identifiable information sent via e-mail is not lost, misused, altered, or unintentionally destroyed. We also use software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits.
Definitions
Cookies are files that a website can place on your computer. A cookie file contains unique information that a website can use to track such things as your password, lists of Web pages you have visited, and the date when you last looked at a specific Web page, or to identify your session at a particular website. A cookie file allows the website to recognize you as you click through pages on the site and when you later revisit the site. A website can use cookies to “remember” your preferences, and to record your browsing behavior on the Web. Although you can prevent websites from placing cookies on your computer by using your browser’s preference menu, disabling cookies may affect your ability to view or interact with some websites.
An “Internet Protocol Address” or “IP Address” is a series of numbers that identifies each computer and machine connected to the Internet. An IP address enables a server on a computer network to send you the file that you have requested on the Internet. The IP address disclosed to us might identify the computer from which you are accessing the Internet, or a server owned by your Internet Service Provider. Because it is machine-specific, rather than person-specific, an IP address is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable information.
“Weblog” or “Blog” A weblog or blog is a website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. blogs typically provide commentary and news on topics related to the subject of the blog. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to the topic, and enables readers to leave comments in an interactive format.
