Information Collected and Stored Automatically: If you visit our
site to read or download information, such as career opportunities,
press releases, etc., we automatically collect and store only the
following information about you. The name of the domain (for example,"xcompany.com" if
you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if
you are connecting from a university's domain) and IP address (a
number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you

This information is primarily collected for statistical analysis.
This government computer system uses software programs to create
summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing
what information is of most and least interest, determining technical
design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem
areas. In certain circumstances, however, we may take additional
steps to identify you based on this information and we may share
this information, including your identity, with other government
agencies.
Information Collected from E-Mail: If you identify yourself by
sending an E-mail containing personal information: you may volunteer
to provide us personally-identifying information, for example your
mailing address, in an electronic mail message. Before you do so,
you should know that the material you submit may be seen by various
people. We may enter the information into a database and we may
share it with other government agencies. Also, e-mail is not necessarily
secure against interception. If your communication is very sensitive
or includes personal information, you may want to send it in by
postal mail instead.
Information collected in this manner may be used for responding
to requests for information as well as other authorized purposes.

and to ensure that this service remains available to all users,
all network traffic is monitored in order to identify unauthorized
attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage

use and to ensure that the system is functioning properly, individuals
using this computer system are subject to having all of their activities

advised that if such monitoring reveals evidence of possible abuse
or criminal activity, system personnel may provide the results
of such monitoring to appropriate officials. Unauthorized attempts
to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage to this
service, are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under applicable
federal law.
