Privacy Policy
PLEASE
READ THE FOLLOWING PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. By using this site, you
are deemed to have agreed to this policy. This Privacy Policy will advise
you about how we collect, use, share and protect personal information
that we may collect from you through this site, and about your choices
concerning our use of your personal information. We may need to change
this policy from time to time in order to address new issues and reflect
changes on our site. We will post those changes here so please refer
back to this policy regularly. Also, please note that this policy does
not apply to any personal information that we may collect from you other
than through this site. If you have any questions or concerns about
our privacy policy, please send an e-mail to our
webmaster.
Personal
Identification Information
We will collect personal identification information from you only if
you voluntarily give it to us. Except as specified in this Section,
we will not intentionally disclose any personal identification information
about you as an individual user (such as, your full name, street address,
telephone number, or e-mail address) to any third party without your
consent or permission.
We may
request personal identification information from you in connection with
your use of, or participation in, surveys, registrations, requests for
suggestions, and in connection with other activities, services or resources
we make available to you. Again, please note that you must voluntarily
give this information to us. If you identify yourself to us by sending
us an e-mail with questions or comments, we may use your personal information
to respond to your questions or comments. However, CASE
will not use personal identification information for external marketing
and promotional purposes.
We will
release specific information about you to comply with any valid legal
process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order.
We will also release specific information in special cases, such as
if there is an attempted breach of the security of the CASE site, or
a physical threat to you or others.
Non-Personal
Information And The Use Of Cookie Technology
We may collect non-personal information through the use of either "cookie"
technology, IP address tracking or both. Non-personal information is
information that does not identify you personally and might include
the browser you use, the type of computer, the operating systems, the
Internet service providers and other similar information. Cookies are
small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on the CASE
site. Cookies allow us to personalize your experience at the CASE site
by automatically gathering information about the areas you visit on
our site and about the links you may select from within our site to
other areas of the World Wide Web or elsewhere online. Cookies also
allow you to store your password (in the event one is necessary), without
having to constantly re-enter it.
We use
such information in the aggregate to understand how our users as a group
use the services and resources provided on our site. In this way we
know which areas of our site are favorites of our users, which areas
need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may
continually improve our site.
Most
browsers are set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to refuse
cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so,
please note that some parts of the CASE site may not work properly.
Links
To Other Sites and Liability to Third Parties
Users will find content on our site that provide links to the sites
and services of our partners, sponsors, supporters, and other third
parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these
sites and we are not responsible for the information or links you may
find there. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies,
or no policy at all. We encourage you to review the privacy policies
of any third party site or service before providing them with your personal
information. The presence of these links on this website is not intended
to imply our endorsement of that site or its goods or services, but
to provide a convenient link to relevant sites which are managed by
other organizations, companies, or individuals.
Although
we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality
of your personal identification information, transmissions made by means
of the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. CASE will have no
liability for disclosure of information due to errors in transmission
or unauthorized acts of third parties.
Security
Policy
CASE will make reasonable efforts to keep secure the data you provide
us and will take reasonable precautions, such as using a secure server,
in an effort to protect your personal identification information from
loss, misuse or alteration. Agents or hosting contractors of CASE who
have access to your personal identification information in connection
with providing services for CASE are required to keep the information
confidential and are not permitted to use this information for any other
purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for CASE.

Acceptance of These Terms

to this policy, please do not use the site. Your continued use of the
CASE site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean
