  • the name, domain, and numerical internet address of the "host" computer from which you access the Internet.
  • the date and time you accessed our site;
  • the Internet address of the web page that you came from ;
  • the page you requested from our site and the number of characters sent to your computer; and
  • the header information your web browser software sends to identify itself
  • the operating system on your personal computer

There is no information gathered in this process which can be used to personally identify an individual user.

In the latter case, collected information associated with a suspected intruder might be shared with law enforcement angencies or with an incident response service such as the CERT® Coordination Center.

We will share with these other companies only that Personal Information they require to fulfill your orders.
