Privacy
Policy and Copyright Information
Copyright
You may not reproduce or distribute information, photos or graphics
without prior written permission from U.S. Global Resources Inc.
To request permission to reproduce or distribute information on this
site, please contact us. This site is owned and operated by U.S.
Global Resources Inc. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost
importance to us. At U.S.
Global Resources Inc., we want to make your experience online satisfying
and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we
feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding
the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses
what information we gather and how we use it.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental
consent.
Usage tracking
U.S. Global Resources Inc. tracks user traffic patterns throughout
all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with
data about individual users. U.S. Global Resources Inc. does break
down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser
type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string
(information contained in every user's browser). U.S. Global Resources
Inc. sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter
in our Search function, but this tracking is
never associated with individual users. We use tracking information
to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based
on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read,
but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue
to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser
files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal
Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site
to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But
the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you
supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites. U.S. Global Resources Inc. uses
cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). You can
refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your
browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive
the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies
turned on to use this site.
Use of Information
U.S. Global Resources Inc. uses any information voluntarily given by
our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether
to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to
better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide
in order to send out electronic articles. We send out articles to subscribers
on a regular schedule (depending on the article), and occasionally
send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly
interested in something we are doing. U.S. Global Resources Inc. NEVER
shares mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers,
sponsors or partners. When we use tracking information to determine
which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic
to those areas, we do not
track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures
of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular
user enters.
Information Sharing
U.S. Global Resources Inc. will not share information about individual
users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or
valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users
or the public.
Opt-Out Policy
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices
include:
• Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
• Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely
alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information
from our users.
Your Consent
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information
by U.S. Global Resources Inc. If we decide to change our privacy policy,
we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware
of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances
we disclose it. |
