Information This Site Collects:
As you browse the Site, our Web servers collect statistics about your visit (not about you personally, unless you log in as a user of our services.) Via Web server logs, we monitor statistics such as:
* How many people visit our Site;

Registration Forms
We have registration forms that relate to the Services we offer. The forms require users to give us accurate contact information (like name and e-mail address.) Such personally identifiable information is used for the purpose of interacting with you regarding your use of our Services.
In the forms, some of the personal information data fields will offer you an election to make a data item public. The election does not mean we publish the data in any general way; what it does mean is that a "whois"-like application could look up the data. However, if you elect to not make the data public, it will remain private.
This information may also be used in any investigation we initiate due to complaints regarding spam, activities related to hacking/cracking/denial-of-service attacks, and/or other potentially illegal activities.
You will only receive mailings unrelated to our Services if you explicitly request them from us. You may change your preferences at any time.
