For each visitor to a page on the Website, our web server automatically recognizes and stores the visitor's IP Address/Domain Name combination. Your IP Address is the specific number that is assigned by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to your computer to identify its location. Your computer provides this information automatically each time you log on, unless you've activated blocking technology available in some browsers.  We use your IP Address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website.

Personal Information:

We also may combine your IP Address/Domain Name combination with other personally identifiable information you specifically and voluntarily provide us.  A visitor to our Website may choose to provide this information when requesting a quote, applying for a job or otherwise contacting us. When a visitor provides this type of personally identifiable information to us, we use it solely for the purposes for which it was provided.

Our policy is not to share personally identifiable information with third parties other than as specified under the heading “How do we use personal information that we gather about you?” unless required by law.

We recognize that your information is valuable and we take all reasonable measures to protect your information while it is in our care and will use it only as we set forth in this policy.

-    Automatic Information

We receive and store certain website activity information whenever you interact with our Website.

Data collected automatically during your visit to the Website is used for internal review and may be used to improve or customize the Website content or layout and/or notify you, by e-mail, about new services or third-party products and updates to our Website.  The use of cookies is now standard operating procedure for most websites, however if you are uncomfortable with the use of cookies, most browsers now permit users to opt-out of receiving them and allow you to visit websites anonymously, however you forfeit the personalization of the Website by enabling this.

What about Cookies?

- Cookies are small packets of information that the Web Site’s computer stores on your computer. The information in the cookie is transmitted from your computer to us, our agents, or to one of our third-party authorized service contractors or Business Partners. The information contained in these cookies makes it possible for us to recognize your browser and to know if you are presently logged onto the Web Site or whether you have done so in a prior visit and provide us with information such as your IP Address/Domain Name combination and where you visited on the Website. This technology also enables us to instantly determine your access privileges while allowing you to navigate the Website or any of the Website’s services without your having to repeatedly log in.

Cookies from us and/or one of our authorized service contractors or Business Partners are also used to collect standard information transmitted from your web browser including, without limitation, your Internet protocol address, browser type, web pages you visited with date and time, service requests you made from us on the Website and the type of operating system on your computer.

However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of our Website's features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Pixel Gifs

We also use web beacon technology to help track site usage. Web beacons (also called single pixel gifs or action tags) allow us to track page viewing counts and patterns which we use to focus and tailor future content development, measure the effectiveness of our own marketing campaigns and assist with broadband capacity management for the Website. We also may employ web beacons within the context of certain e-mails in order to determine the effectiveness and appeal of those mailings. These web beacons 'sense' and notify us if and when you open the e-mail, if your e-mail program is capable of displaying HTML messages, and where you may navigate within these HTML messages.

-    Email Communications

We may receive information from you if you e-mail us in response to an e-mail that we send to you.  If you do not want to receive email or other mail from us, you may choose to opt out from the receipt of e-mails from us by clicking on a link in the e-mail itself or notifying us that you have changed your mind and do not wish to continue to receive e-mails from us by sending an email to us at service@opsus.com.

How do we share personal information that we gather about you?

Information about our visitors and customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others in the normal course of business; however, we may share your personal information with third-parties under the following circumstances:

We may share your personally identifiable information and/or aggregate information with our affiliates, technical consultants, third party auditors and other third parties who work with us to create or maintain the Website, enhance its functionality or provide associated services and/or deal with you in processing your orders and/or delivering content, products or services.

-    Business Transfers

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets.

Other than as we have described under this section entitled “How do we share personal information that we gather about you?”, we do not plan to share any of your personal information with any third-party.

How Secure is Information About Me?

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our visitors and customers providing information to us as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy is of utmost concern to us. We exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission of your personally identifiable information from your PC to our servers and ensuring the security of your information on our systems and we take steps within our facilities reasonably designed to help protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access, use, modification, disclosure or destruction.  Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
