JVL Corp is committed to
protecting user privacy online. We believe that strong electronic privacy is
crucial for the ongoing success of the Internet. At JVL, we pledge to give you
as much control as possible over your personal information. We will not
disclose individually identifiable information about you to any third party
without your consent.
Information We Collect
IP Address
The JVL Web site logs IP addresses for system administration purposes. Your IP
address can help us diagnose problems with our server and track a user's
session to give us an idea of which parts of our site users are visiting. In
addition, we track system information, such as the type of browser you are
using, your operating system, and the referring IP address. We use this
information in aggregate only; we do not link IP addresses to any personal
identifiers.
Cookies
JVL uses a feature of your browser called a cookie to store your member ID and
state information about where you are in the site. JVL uses cookies to keep
track of where you are in the site since the Internet is a stateless
environment, but many of JVL's functions, such as moving from one page to the
next, require state. JVL does not store any of your personal information in
cookies. A cookie is simply a small data file that the Web site writes to your
hard drive. A cookie can't read any other data off your hard drive, pass on a
virus, or read cookie files created by other sites. You can refuse cookies by
turning them off in your browser. JVL will not operate properly without cookies
enabled.
Registration
A significant amount of the site is available without registration, but in
order to take advantage of some features of JVL web site, you must register and
create an account. The JVL online registration form requires you to provide
your full name, email address, ZIP code, a User Name, and password. All other
registration information, such as your age, address, phone number, and
employer, is optional and is marked as such. We hope that, like many JVL web
users, you will want to provide information about yourself so that we can
continue to make our Web site more valuable to you. For certain contests,
surveys, or chat forums, we may ask you to provide additional information about
yourself. Participation in these enhanced services is completely optional.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that JVL is not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web
site.
Usage
As you interact with JVL, your usage patterns are logged anonymously. This
tells us if you searched to find information and what searches you used. We
also log whether or not your searches were successful and what subject areas
you visited. The logs use your session ID only, they do not connect with your
specific member ID. Usage data is viewed and analyzed in aggregated form only.
Our Use of Your Information
The majority of the information we collect is analyzed anonymously so that we
can improve your visiting experience. One of JVL's goals is to create better
customer service. To that end, we use our usage data to study how users seek
information. Eventually, we hope to have enough data to help educators discover
more about human learning and information analysis. Any personally-identifiable
information about you is used to improve your individual JVL experience. This
information is held in strictest confidence and is not shared outside of JVL
except as specifically described in this statement. We will, with your
permission, use your data to deliver information that is targeted to your
interests, such as email about promotions or targeted banners. If necessary, we
will use your information to contact you. JVL is the only company that uses the
financial information that you provided, such as credit card numbers. This
information is used for billing when you order specific JVL products or
services online.
Information Distribution
JVL will never wilfully disclose personally-identifiable information to a third
party without your permission. Any personally-identifiable information is used
within JVL only, except as described above. All other information is disclosed
as statistical information in aggregated form and cannot be linked to a
specific individual.
