Privacy
Philosophy |
|
At CDNX, your privacy matters to us. Our site is designed to
give you as much control as possible over the privacy of your personal information - when
we can collect it, how we can use it and whether we can share it with others. Your "personal information" is any information that can identify
you as an individual beyond your name, business title(s), business phone number(s) and
business address(es). |
|
What personal
information do we collect? |
|
If you choose to take advantage of any products or
services we offer, we will require you to register on our site and disclose some personal
information to us. As a minimum, the following information is collected:
- First and Last name;
- E-mail address;
- Password;
- Security Phrase;
- State/Province and Country of residence.
If you choose
to make a secure purchase on-line, your credit card number is submitted to our affiliated
national credit institution for routine processing. Your personal credit history is not
collected or used by CDNX, nor is it disclosed to others. Your name and credit card
account number are stored and transferred using secure encryption methods.
If you no longer want to receive the product or service you signed
up for, you can close your account: click here.

|
How do we
use your personal information? |
|
CDNX uses your personal information to:
- provide you with information about products, services, news and
events;
- enable you to purchase products and services;
- identify you as a customer;
- enhance your experience on our web site by providing interactive or
personalized elements to your visits;
- better prepare future content based on your interests; and
- provide a key to your optional stock basket details.
|
|
Do we share your
personal information with others? |
|
We do not share your personal information with
others unless:
- we have your consent to share it; or
- we are compelled by law, court order or other due legal process to
release it.

|
Anonymous tracking and
profiling |
|
CDNX assigns a random number to each
site visitor to anonymously track content preferences and traffic patterns. The random
numbers let us keep track of how many times customers are doing specific things
like visiting our site each month without knowing who our customers are. The random number we assign to you is kept in a file on your computer called
a "cookie". By themselves, cookies cannot be used to determine your identity.
Unless you specifically give us your personal information, CDNX will never know who you
are. Click here to learn more about cookies.
Our standard research practices also include the use of
"referrers" and "environment variables". Click
here to learn more about referrers and environment variables.
We use tracking information to determine which areas of our site
visitors like and dont like based on traffic to those areas. CDNX does not track
what individual visitors read, but, rather, how well each page performs overall. This
helps us to continue to build a better service for you. We also perform ad-hoc analysis of
some/all of the data collected to determine if the sites (and their products and services)
are performing to expectations and to gauge the value of any new products or services that
may be offered in the future.
Our research database does not store personally identifiable
information, such as name, address, phone number or e-mail address. Nor does it store
sensitive data, like medical or financial information, or any information about sexual
preference, race, religion or ethnicity. |

Information
security |
|
Your personal information is kept in a
secure system protected by firewalls and other IT safeguards. It is not accessible through
Internet or other web-based connections. Only those staff
members who need to know your personal information to serve you are granted access to it. |
|
E-mail address
privacy |
|
We receive many e-mail communications. We do not sell the
names or e-mail addresses of individuals who communicate with us through e-mail. |
|
Links to Other Sites |
|
This site contains links to other sites whose privacy
policies may differ from CDNXs privacy statement. Please check the privacy policies
of those sites before proceeding. |
|
Feedback Form |
|
Our web site uses a Feedback Form for customers to let us
know what they think of our site and our services. We collect contact information
(including e-mail addresses). The contact information is only used to respond to
inquiries. Feedback submissions can also be made anonymously. |
|
Cookies |
|

Referrers and environmental
variables |
|
A "referrer" is the information passed
along by a web browser that references the Web URL you linked from. It is automatically
gathered by our web server. This information is used by CDNX to identify broad demographic
trends and may be used to provide information tailored to your interests. "Environment variables" we gather include time, type of web browser
being used and the operating system/platform. This information is used only for acquiring
a better understanding of service usage and to plan site maintenance schedules. |
