Online Privacy Policy for Mel's Market Research

The policy of Mel's Market Research is to respect the privacy of all web site visitors to the extent permitted by law. This online privacy statement is intended to inform you of the ways in which this web site collects information, the uses to which that information will be put, and the ways in which we will protect any information you choose to provide us.

There are four types of information that this site may collect during your visit: network traffic logs, web visit logs and information voluntarily provided by you.

Network Traffic Logs

In the course of ensuring network security and consistent service for all users, Mel's Market Research employs software programs to do such things as monitor network traffic, identify unauthorized access or access to nonpublic information, detect computer viruses and other software that might damage Mel's Market Research computers or the network, and monitor and tune the performance of the Mel's Market Research website. In the course of such monitoring, these programs may detect such information as e-mail headers, addresses from network packets, and other information.

Information from these activities is used only for the purpose of maintaining the security and performance of the Mel's Market Research website. Personally identifiable information from these activities is not released to external parties without your consent unless required by law.

Web Visit Logs

The Mel's Market Research website routinely collect and store information from online visitors to help improve service. This information includes the pages visited on the site, the date and time of the visit, the internet address (URL or IP address) of the referring site, the domain name and IP address from which the access occurred, the version of browser used, the capabilities of the browser, and search terms used on our search engines. This site makes no attempt to identify individual visitors from this information: any personally identifiable information is not released to external parties without your consent unless required by law.

Information voluntarily provided by you

In the course of using this web site, you may choose to provide us with information to help us serve your needs. For example, you may send us electronic mail (through a mailer or a web form) to request information, you may sign up for a mailing list, or you may send us your address so we may send you an application or other material. Any personally identifiable information you send us will be used only for the purpose indicated. Requests for information will be directed to the appropriate staff to respond to the request, and may be recorded to help us update our site to better respond to similar requests. We will not sell, exchange or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information without your consent, except to the extent required by law. We do not retain the information longer than necessary for normal operations. Each web page requesting information discloses the purpose of that information. If you do not wish to have the information used in that manner, you are not required to provide it. Please contact the person listed on the specific page, or listed below, with questions or concerns on the use of personally identifiable information.

If you have questions about this site, its collection of information, and its online privacy statement, contact the site administrator by sending an email to [email protected]
