What We Collect and Store Automatically
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the web
site, read pages, or download information, we will gather and
store certain information about your visit automatically. Please
note that this information does not identify you personally
in any way.
We automatically collect and store only the following information
about your visit:

assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web)
from which you access our web site.
· The type of browser and operating system used to access
our site.
· The date and time you access our site.

· If you linked to our web site from another web site,
the address of that web site.
We use the information we collect in this fashion to count the
number and type of visitors to the different pages on our site,
and to help us make our site more useful to visitors. Our web
site logs do not identify you personally, and we make no attempt
to link them with the individuals that actually browse the site.
If You Send Us E-Mail or Fill Out Any Online Forms
You may choose to provide us with personal information, as in
e-mail with a comment or question. We will only use the information

Any electronic commerce applications that we provide for program
registration, membership, contributions, or merchandise are
conducted using secure servers to protect your credit card information.
Again, all information requested and provided by you in the
processing of any of these electronic commerce transactions
will only be used to respond to you and fulfill your request.

policy of the new site.
