Privacy Policy

As part of ICPR's web site privacy policy, no personal information will be collected about you when you visit our web site unless you choose to provide that information. We comply with four core privacy principles: notice, choice, access, and security.

Here is how ICPR handles information about your visit to our web site:

Information Collected and Stored Automatically:

If all you do during your visit is browse through the web site, read pages, or download information, the only information the site will gather and store about your visit is the following information:
The Internet domain (for example, "aol.com" or "xcompany.com") from which you access the Internet;
The IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access the web site;
The type of browser and operating system and connection speed used to access the site;
The date and time you access the site;
The pages you visit; and
If you linked to ICPR's web site from another web site, the address of that web site.
This information is used for site management purposes -- to learn about the areas of the site that are of the most and least interest, the number of visitors to the site, and the types of technology visitors use. For users that simply browse and download information, we do not track or record any personal information about your and your visit.

If you choose to provide ICPR with personal information -- such as if you send us an e-mail or you fill out a form with your personal information and submit it through ICPR's web site -- we collect and store your e-mail address and the content of your communication in order to consider and, as appropriate, reply to your communication. Additionally, federal law may require that certain unlawful communications be forwarded to appropriate law enforcement agencies.
