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,

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.
3. Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties
SPT will not generally disclose any personally identifiable information to third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SPT may disclose or distribute identifiable or non-identifiable data to a third party under certain situations including:
- As necessary for the conduct of normal business. For example, SPT may disclose your personally identifiable information in connection with bill payment by a third party.
- As required by law. For example, SPT may disclose your personally identifiable information to a third party pursuant to a valid subpoena, court order, or other forms of legal process.
- As determined by SPT in its sole judgment that disclosure or distribution is appropriate to protect the life, health, or property of SPT or any other person or entity. For example, SPT may disclose your personally identifiable information in response to a request by or on behalf of any local, state, federal, or other government agency, department, or body, whether or not pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other forms of legal process.
While SPT may undertake efforts to ensure that such third parties use the personal data solely for the purposes for which the data was disclosed, SPT is not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties and will not be liable for any use of disclosure, by a third party, of any user’s personal data.
This Site may contain links to other World Wide Web sites or advertisements for, or placed by, third parties. SPT is not responsible for the privacy practices of such websites, advertisers, or third parties, or for the content of such sites or advertisements. It is possible that these links or advertisements, themselves, may be used by third parties or others to collect personal or other information about Site visitors. It is solely the visitor’s obligation to review and understand the privacy practices and policies of these other websites and of these advertisers and third parties.
