General Monitors is committed
to protecting your online privacy while providing you
with the most useful and enjoyable Web experience possible.
While you can use many features of General Monitors anonymously,
you are required to provide personal information to gain
access to some of our premium content and services.
How we collect
and use personal information
Registering for membership on General Monitors’
web sites gives you access to all the site’s information
and features. The only information required is your name,
e-mail address, company information, country, and ZIP
/ postal code. With your approval, we occasionally will
send e-mail to notify you about important changes to the
site, new services, and special offers from us. If you
would rather not receive these e-mail notifications, you
can simply indicate that preference either when you register
or at any time you modify your account. If you enter a
contest or respond to a promotion, we may ask for your
postal address so we can notify contest winners and deliver
promotional items.
How we protect
your personal information
All personal data you enter on General Monitors is encrypted
using an industry standard protocol known as Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) that encodes the information before your Web
browser software sends it to us. The SSL software decodes
the data only after it reaches our server, meaning potential
hackers cannot access any of your personal information
while it is in transit. Once the data reaches our site,
the same state-of-the-art security software we use to
guard all of our company’s essential business data
protects your personal data as well. In addition to using
the most secure technology available, we work tirelessly
to make sure that we use any information you provide us
only in ways you have approved. We send you only the e-mail
you have approved in your account information or on your
e-mail subscription sign-up page.
How we use "cookies"
As you probably know, "cookies" are small pieces
of information that some Web sites store on your computer's
hard drive when you visit them. Like many other Web sites,
General Monitors uses cookies to identify members so they
don’t have to enter a user ID and password upon
each visit. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies
but allow you to modify security settings so you can approve
or reject cookies on a case-by-case basis. Even if you
do not use cookies, you can still access all of the features
on our site by logging in manually with each visit.
What we provide
to third parties
General Monitors does not provide any third-party access
to your personal information.
Obtaining your
consent
By using our Web site, you give General Monitors permission
to collect information about the pages served to you as
an anonymous user for the purpose of calculating aggregate
site statistics. If you register at any General Monitors
site, you authorize General Monitors to use information
you provide to personalize the information we deliver
to you and to use your demographic information when calculating
aggregate customer data. As a registered member, you give
General Monitors and our agents, permission to send you
e-mails related to the subscription e-mail services to
which you subscribe and the Free Product Info topics you
select.
If you are under the age of 18, you must not provide your
name, e-mail address, or any other identifying information
without the consent of your parent or guardian, or as
otherwise provided for by applicable law. Any changes
to our privacy policy will be posted on this page so that
you are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
