Top of Page Protecting your privacy is important to us. We hope the following statement will help you understand how StickyMinds.com collects, uses, and safeguards the personal information you provide to us on our Web site. PUBLIC POSTINGS COOKIE DISCLOSURE Like many commercial Web sites, StickyMinds uses "cookies" for a variety of tasks for every user. Specifically, StickyMinds uses temporary "session" cookies to assist in maintaining navigation states, to store aggregate information about how the site is used, and to present personalized information to enhance the experience of our users. Session cookies last until the user's browser is closed. StickyMinds also offers members (users with a user name and password) the option to have a more permanent "persistent" cookie written to their hard drive. On StickyMinds, persistent cookies are encrypted, are used for the purpose of logging in a user automatically upon their return to the site from the computer where the cookie is written, and are only written with a user's permission (requested when a user joins the site). It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is being placed — this way, you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. THIRD-PARTY LINKS CUSTOMER INFORMATION Anyone may browse the StickyMinds.com site anonymously. To contribute to StickyMinds.com (participate in the Message Board area, submit items on the site, comment on books, or post your software tools and services), you must join the site as a Free Member. We ask you to provide your name, email address, and, optionally, other information so that we can keep you informed about upcoming activities and new postings in your areas of interest. Any personal information provided to us will not be shared with sponsors or anyone else without your permission, except on an aggregate basis, to protect your privacy. From time to time, we may survey you about your opinions, needs, and profile information (about you and/or your organization). We use this data to improve the site and tailor your experience on StickyMinds.com. But again, this information is not shared with sponsors or others without your permission except in aggregate. When you register with StickyMinds.com, we collect information about you such as name, job interests, title, email address, and other items that help us determine what content and products to offer you. This allows us to customize the advertising and content you see, which helps keep our service free or low-cost to users. It also gives us direction on how to further enhance the editorial flavor of the StickyMinds.com site. StickyMinds.com does not sell, trade, or rent any personal information that identifies particular individuals to any third parties. StickyMinds.com does, however, use this information for its own marketing purposes, and to send you information you agreed to receive about topics and products from SQE and third-party vendors we think will be of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive future mailings, you may change your profile by clicking on the "Update Profile" link on StickyMinds.com. You may use this same process to access your personal preferences and update other aspects of your personal information. StickyMinds.com may provide statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third parties, but these statistics will not include information that specifically identifies particular individuals.
