1. Collection of Personal Information from Site Visitors

SPT may collect or track: 

• The home server domain names, e-mail addresses, type of client computer, files downloaded, search engine used, operating system, and type of web browser of visitors to the Site,  
• Your e-mail addresses if you communicate with SPT via e-mail,  
• Information you knowingly provide in online forms, registration forms, surveys, e-mail, and other online avenues (including, without limitation, demographic and personal profile data), and  
• Aggregate and user-specific information regarding which pages Site visitors access. 

In addition to the information you provide, SPT may collect the name of the domain and host from which you access the internet; the IP address of the computer you are using; and the browser and operating system you are using; the date and time you accessed the Site; and the internet address of the website from which you linked to the Site.  SPT may place internet “cookies” on visitors’ hard drives.  Internet cookies can save data about individual visitors, such as the visitor’s name, user-name, and the pages of a site viewed by the visitor.  When the visitor revisits the Site, the Site may recognize the visitor by the Internet cookie and customize the visitor’s experience accordingly.  Visitors may disable Internet cookies, if any, by using the appropriate feature of their web client software, if available. 

When a visitor performs a search within the Site, SPT may record information identifying the visitor or linking the visitor to the search performed.  SPT may also record limited information for every search request and use that information to solve technical problems with the services available directly or indirectly in connection with the Site and to calculate overall usage statistics. 

 

2. Use of Personal Data Collected

Personal data collected by SPT may be used by us for many reasons.  Examples may include, editorial and feedback purposes, for marketing and promotional purposes, for statistical analysis of users’ behavior, for service development, for content improvement, for the fulfillment of a requested transaction or recordkeeping, or to customize the content and layout of the Site.  Aggregate data on visitors’ home servers may be used for internal purposes, and individually identifying information, such as names, postal and e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and other personal information which visitors voluntarily provide to SPT may be added to SPT’s databases and used for future contact, mailings, and e-mail communications regarding Site updates, news, new services, and upcoming events. 

SPT may also use Site visitor data to contact the Site visitors regarding account status and changes to the submissions agreement, privacy statement, and any other policies or agreements relevant to Site visitors.
