Privacy Policy
Effective May 18th, 2004 InterPark is committed to protecting any personal information
that you may provide to us. In particular, we believe it is important for you to
know how we treat information about you that we may receive from this web site.
Information Collected
In general, you can visit this web site without telling us who you are or revealing
any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the
e-mail addresses, of visitors. Our web servers also seek (as many web sites do)
to place a "cookie" (a small data file) on your computer's hard drive which allows
the server to determine the computer when it visits again, in order to track statistical
information about navigation to and throughout certain areas of our site, and to
InterPark promotions on other sites. This cookie is not used to obtain your name
or any personal data, and the information that is tracked is used only for internal
purposes, such as to improve site navigation and to measure the effectiveness of
our promotional placements, and is not shared with anyone other than InterPark and
its affiliates and contractors who assist InterPark in these efforts and are bound
to confidentiality. However, if you prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your
browser to reject them or to alert you before one is placed.
In addition, there are portions of this web site where we may need to collect personal
information from you for a specific purpose, such as to provide you with requested
information. The information may include your name, address, telephone, fax number,
or e-mail address. For electronic access to annual reports and proxy statements,
we collect your tax identification number to verify your shareholder status. For
our supplier diversity site, we necessarily collect information about gender and
ethnicity, such as whether your business is female-owned.
This web site is not intended for persons under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly
solicit or collect personal information from or about children, and we do not knowingly
market our products or services to children.
Use of Collected Information
Domain name information that we collect is not used to personally identify you and
instead is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the
site, pages viewed, etc. We use this information to measure the use of our site
and to improve the content of our site.
When other information is collected from you, such as your name and e-mail address,
we generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal
information. Usually, we use the personal information you provide only to respond
to your inquiry or to process your request (such as to receive promotional materials).
This information may be shared with other InterPark businesses and its affiliates,
but only if necessary to fulfill your request or for related purposes.
We may share the personal information you provide with other companies we have hired
to provide services for us. These companies - our vendors - are contractually bound
to use personal information we share with them only to perform the services we have
hired them to provide. We do not share, sell, or lease personal information about
you to any third-parties for their marketing use. We will release information about
you if you direct us to do so, if we are required by law to do so, or in other legally
limited circumstances (for example, to protect your account from fraud).
If you register with one of InterPark's business units online, they may use this
information to provide you with custom information about InterPark's offerings in
support of your business needs. They may also seek to place a "cookie" (small data
file) as discussed above in order to provide you with tailored information.
Links to Other Sites
The InterPark Online web site may contain links to its affiliates' sites such as
distributors and sales affiliates. While we try to link only to sites that share
our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content,
security, or privacy practices employed by other sites.
Security of Collected Information
We maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect
your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate access. We restrict
access to information about you to those InterPark workers who need to know the
information to respond to your inquiry or request. Workers who misuse personal information
are subject to disciplinary action.

site by contacting us as described below.
