We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed and explains data collection and use practices of CTC Union Technologies Co. Our "Network" includes all Web pages, newsletters, discussion forums and lists and opt-in announcement lists owned and operated by CTC Union Technologies Co. By accessing the CTC Union Network, you are consenting to the information collection and use practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We promise that we will use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy as follows:

What information are you collecting and how are you collecting it?

Do you collect IP addresses?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page from any Web site within the CTC Network, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our Sites. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate, and to investigate misuse of the CTC Network, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement. We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals. Our Web servers do not automatically record e-mail addresses of the visitors.

What are cookies?
From time to time, CTC Union may send a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can't read data off of your computer hard disk or read cookie files created by other Web sites. Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies mainly for session control and when you use your member login. These cookies are required for the normal operation of the content management software we use to run our web pages. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our Site and other Web sites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.

How do you use single-pixel gifs?
CTC Union may use single-pixel gif images, sometimes referred to as web bugs or web beacons, to count Web page accesses and gather some general statistical information and to track and analyze non-personally identifiable aggregate usage information from visitors to our websites in order to continuously improve the quality of our sites and services to you. CTC does not gather personal information through the use of these images.

What personal information do you collect?
Wherever CTC Union collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy. We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. The personal information we collect may include your name, title, company or organization name, e-mail address, phone number, work or home address, information about your job function, and information about your company.

We may request your e-mail address for the purposes of providing additional services (for example, subscriptions to announcement lists or information about new product releases and trade shows). Participation is completely voluntary and you have a choice whether or not to disclose personal information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name, e-mail address and your account password for CTC support log in), and demographic information (such as country).

CTC Union offers access to some services that require registration. We may use your registration contact information to send notification to you of products and services by e-mail. We will never share that information with any other clients.

When you sign up for a CTC Union discussion forum, your name or alias is recorded solely for purposes of maintaining your own account within the forums. This information is not used to monitor your activity within a forum, nor is it used to identify you outside the CTC Union network.

We may from time to time send e-mail announcing new products. These announcement will not be so frequent as to be annoying. You may always send us a request to be removed from a mailing list if you are unable to remove yourself through our automated system. Please send requests for list removal to marketing @ ctcu . com.

Will you disclose the information you collect to outside third parties?
CTC Union will disclose personal information and/or an IP address:

1) To contact you regarding products and services which may be of interest to you. At any time, however, you may opt out of such contact;
2) When required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
   a) Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on CTC Union;
   b) Protect and defend the rights or property of the CTC Network of sites and related properties, or visitors to the CTC Network of sites and related properties;
   c) Identify persons who may be violating the law, the CTC legal notice and Web site User Agreement, or otherwise misusing the CTC Network or its related properties;
3) When we have your consent to share the information;

We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that we do not sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to any third-party, without your consent or as permitted by this Privacy Policy.

The CTC Union web site may contain hyperlinks to third party Web sites. CTC Union is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third party Web sites. CTC does not share any of the individual personal information you provide CTC with the third parties to which CTC may link, except as stated elsewhere within this Privacy Policy, although CTC may share general, aggregate data with such third parties (such as how many people use our Site). Please check with those Web sites to determine their privacy policies.

If you use CTC's discussion threads, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these discussion threads. In order to avoid your e-mail address or other personal information from being gathered and used by others for inappropriate or harmful purposes, CTC advises that you should be cautious about posting a real e-mail address or other personal information to newsgroups, chats, or other public forums. The moderators of our forums will make every attempt to scan for and remove any inappropriate personal information or language, however we cannot guarantee 100% removal of personal information from discussion threads.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example through e-mail, discussion lists, or elsewhere - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
