Therefore, please read the following Privacy Policy, Copyright and Trademark Notices completely.

Information Collection/Shared Information
The VisiStat® system may collect general aggregate information that will not personally identify you. This type of information could include Internet browser, Operating system, Date of visit, Time of visit and/or Path taken through the site. This information by itself does not identify any individual and we will not combine it with information that does identify you as an individual. It provides statistics that we use to analyze and improve VisiStat.com.

Statistical (anonymous) user information may be shared with advertisers, business affiliates and sponsors, business partners and associates, and miscellaneous third parties, directly related to conducting business and/or improving your experience at VisiStat.com. This information is never personal, nor does it contain details of individual users. It is statistical information regarding habits, preferences, age groups, etc., of our users by groups or in general. By doing so, we are able to enhance and personalize your use of our site. The exceptions to this rule include when we are required by law to provide personal information (we will always comply with legal and/or government requirements, requests, and/or procedures), or when it protects our users.

Personally identifiable information is defined as any personal information that could identify you, such as your name, address, telephone number, billing and shipping information, credit card information, or e-mail address. Because we take your privacy seriously, we will not collect any personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it. We will not share your personal information with third party suppliers and service providers, including independent contractors providing services for, or with VisiStat.com. We will only disclose personally identifiable information to third parties if you consent to the disclosure, if we are compelled or authorized to do so by law, or if we reasonably believe there is a threat to someone's life or health. Personally identifiable information submitted for employment purposes will only be used in connection with the application process. It will not be used or disclosed for any other purposes unless required or authorized by law.

Our site's registration, affiliate, trial and subscription forms require users to give us contact information (i.e., name and e-mail address) and Website information (i.e., domain/URL). We will only use the information to (i) send you information about our company, (ii) contact you when necessary and, (iii) set up your account and VisiStat tools.

Security and privacy are a high priority, and only key personnel have access to sensitive and/or secure areas, and personal information is never shared or given out. Considering the nature of the Internet, there will be situations that we can not control, even with all our safeguards and precautions, thus we can not guarantee there will never be any negative incidents, however, we are vigilant to prevent every unfortunate occurrence possible.

Mailing List -- Opt-In/Opt-Out
By signing up and/or registering for services, trials, subscription or any offerings, paid or free of charge, you agree to be added to VisiStat's promotional mailings and e-mail updates. You always have the option of opting out (removing yourself from such mailings) by signing in to your account preferences and unchecking the appropriate box provided. Your information will never be given or sold to any one outside VisiStat.

Code Snippet
When signed up for our service, you will be asked to embed a piece of code into pages of your Website(s). This gives us statistical site usage information about the pages visited, duration of page view, location previous to accessing the VisiStat.com site, the navigational habits of your site users, and their browser and operating systems. We do not use this code to collect any personally identifiable information; it is only used for the functionality of VisiStat.com and for your information.

Outside Links
This site contains links to other sites. VisiStat.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of Websites to which we link.

Data Security
We are committed to maintaining the security of the data we collect and protecting it from loss, misuse or alteration.

To safeguard all information collected, VisiStat.com and all of its staff follow the practices in this policy.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user's hard drive containing information about that user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. We utilize cookies in order to maintain your account and some information. We only use cookies when necessary to properly and securely maintain your account and for satisfactory support; we do not use cookies to gather and disseminate your personal information outside of this site. Because cookies are written to a user's local drive, privacy and security are still completely maintained.

The exceptions to the rule would be 1) when and if we choose to occasionally use cookies to anonymously track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site, 2) for advertising tracking purposes, 3) in case that some of our business partners/advertisers may use cookies on our site. However, we have no access to or control over such cookies.
