This statement discloses the privacy practices for the vergeworks.com
corporate Web site. This policy was last updated March 25, 2002.
Verge Works may modify the provisions of its privacy policy from
time to time. The new provisions will be effective as soon as
they are posted. We encourage you to check this page periodically
to ensure that you are familiar with the terms of our current privacy policy.
Verge Works may capture implicit information from users who
visit our Web site for aggregate statistical analysis and
site customization. Implicit information is data that we can
gather about the user without asking them. Importantly, aggregate
statistical analysis means that Verge Works reviews trends
based on information as a whole, but does not do so in an
effort to identify the individual identity of the visitor to its site.
We also may request email, and other contact information
for site feedback, business development, press, human resources,
partnership and sales inquiries. In certain instances,
this information may be shared with reputable third companies.
However, Verge Works will not willfully disclose human resource
information solicited from our Web site to third parties.
IP addresses may be logged to track a user's session. An IP
address is the unique numerical identity of your computer. When we "log"
an IP address, it means that our Web site associates a visit or series of
visits to that unique numerical identity. Verge Works also may use cookies
in order to assist in aggregate statistical analysis and sometimes
provide site customization based on anonymous session tracking. Cookies,
by themselves, cannot be used to determine the actual identity of users.
On their own, they can be used to identify a computer, but not who is using
that computer. Because of this, if Verge Works customizes the site based
on cookies, we won't know who you are unless you tell us.
Verge Works collects the visitor's domain name (e.g. whether the
user is logged on from yourdomain.com), referral data (e.g. we record
the last URL a user visited prior to clicking to vergeworks.com),
as well as browser and platform type (e.g., a Microsoft browser on
a Macintosh platform). We also count, track, and aggregate the visitor's
activity into our analysis of general traffic flows at our sites (e.g.,
tracking where traffic comes from, how traffic flows within Verge Works.com).
When and if Verge Works does present aggregated information to outside companies,
no one would be able to identify you or contact you.
Verge Works uses links throughout its web site to provide a
visitor with the opportunity to contact us via email for a
variety of purposes (including business development and human
resource inquires). Verge Works may file information from emails,
review and discard the information, and share this information with
third parties. Human resource information will not be shared with a
third party without the express consent of the individual. Verge Works
securely stores all email received via our Web site, however we
cannot ensure that mail will be transported securely to us.
Transportation of email from your computer to us relies upon you
using a trusted Internet service provider, and other Internet factors.
Should you have any questions, comments or complaints regarding
this privacy policy, or Verge Works’ compliance, please contact privacy@vergeworks.com.
