Disclosure to Governmental Authorities. Under certain circumstances, personal information may be subject to disclosure pursuant to a judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants or orders.
Use of Computer Tracking Technologies.
No Tracking of Personal Information. CLGL’s Web Site(s) are not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by visitors. Through web site access logs CLGL does collect clickstream data and HTTP protocol elements, which generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our sites. This information is used for internal purposes by technical support staff for research and development, user analysis and business decision making, all of which provides better services to the public. The statistics garnered, which contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information, may also be provided to third parties.
Use of Cookies. CLGL, or its third party vendors, collects non-identifiable and personal information through the use of various technologies, including “cookies.” A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that a Web site can transfer to customer’s hard drive through customer’s browser. The cookie is then stored on customer’s computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the customer’s computer, but not the customer. Cookies may be sent by CLGL or its third party vendors. Customer can set its browser to notify customer before a cookie is received, giving an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. Customer may also set its browser to turn off cookies; however, some Web sites may not then work properly.
Use of Web Beacon Technologies. CLGL may also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor its Web site(s) to provide better customer service. If these technologies are in use, when a visitor accesses these pages of the Web site, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by CLGL or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If customer does not want cookie information to be associated with customer’s visits to these pages, customer can set its browser to turn off cookies; however, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.
Collection of Non-Identifiable Information. CLGL may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to the CLGL Web site(s) in order to provide better customer service. Examples of such collecting include: traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on CLGL Web site(s); Web site and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as “clickstream data.” CLGL or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.
Collection of Personal Information. CLGL collects personal identifying information from customer during a transaction. CLGL may extract some personally identifying information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information, such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level (not at an individual level) to help CLGL understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level.
Information Security.
Commitment to Online Security. CLGL employs physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the security and integrity of personal information. Billing and payment data is encrypted whenever transmitted or received online. Personal information is accessible only by staff designated to handle online requests or complaints. All CLGL agents and contractors with access to personal information on the CLGL web site(s) are also bound to adhere to CLGL security standards.
No Liability for Acts of Third Parties. CLGL will exercise all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of customer personal information. However, transmissions protected by industry standard security technology and implemented by human beings cannot be made absolutely secure. Consequently, CLGL shall not be liable for unauthorized disclosure of personal information due to no fault of CLGL including, but not limited to, errors in transmission and unauthorized acts of CLGL staff and third parties.
