We at Constitution Group, LLC and at our affiliates (collectively
referred to as "We," "Us," or "Our") recognize the importance of
protecting the privacy of certain information collected about the
users and visitors (referred to as "User," "You" or "Your") of our web
pages within the cg.com domain ("Our Web Site"). This Privacy Policy
discloses what information We gather, how We use it, and how to
correct or change it. Our intention is to give You an understanding
about how We collect Your information and the use We make of it in the
course of Our business.
To that end, We gather two types of information about You: 1) data
that Users provide through optional, voluntary registration on Our Web
Site, and 2) data that We gather through aggregated tracking, mainly
by tallying Web pages that are viewed by Users throughout Our Web
Site.
However, be assured that We will not disclose Personal Information (as
defined herein) to third parties without Your consent, except as may
be noted in this Privacy Policy or disclosed to You when the
information is submitted.
How Do We Collect Information?
Sometimes We collect information by specifically requesting it from
You. Generally this occurs when You register at Our Web Site or
request information or a service. Usually, We use Your information to
operate Our Web Site and to deliver services. We also use Your
information to inform You about other products and services we have
available.
An IP (internet provider) address is a unique number that is
automatically assigned to Your computer whenever You are surfing the
Internet so that Your computer can be identified by the main
computers, known as "Web servers," that "serve up" Web pages. This
allows Us to identify and gather general information and data about
You, such as the Web pages You view.
We collect IP addresses as most websites do, for the purposes of:
helping Us diagnose problems with Our main computers, for system
administration, to report aggregated information to Our business
partners, and to audit the use of Our Web Site. When Users request Web
pages from Our Web Site, Our Web servers log the User's IP address. We
do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable,
which means that a User's session will be logged, but the User will
remain anonymous to Us. For example, We collect and/or track the home
server domain name, the type of computer, and the type of Web browser
used by You to access Our Web Site. Such collection and tracking
information is gathered by Us as You navigate through Our Web Site,
and will be used by Us for Our business purposes only.
We can, and will, use IP addresses to identify You when We feel it is
necessary to enforce compliance with Our Web Site Terms of Use or to
protect Our service, site, Users, or others.
"Cookies" are small pieces of information that a Web site sends to
Your computer for record-keeping purposes and which are stored in a
file on Your computer's hard drive. Cookies make Web surfing easier
for You by saving Your preferences so that We can use the saved
information to facilitate Your use of Our Web Site when You return to
Our Web Site. Cookies do not tell Us Your individual identity unless
You have chosen to provide it to Us. We never save passwords or credit
card information in Cookies. The use of Cookies is standard in the
Internet industry, and as such, You will find that most major Web
sites use them.
By showing how and when Users use Our Web Site, Cookies help Us see
which areas of Our Web Site are popular and which are not. Many
improvements and updates to Our Web Site are based on such data as
total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most
easily tracked with Cookies.
We have two primary uses for Cookies. First, We use them to specify a
User's preferences. Second, We use Cookies to track web page usage
trends and patterns. This helps Us understand Our Users' needs better
and improve areas of Our Web Site. While both of these activities
depend on the use of Cookies, You have the option of disabling
(refusing) the Cookies via Your Web browser preferences.
Most Cookies expire after a defined period of time, or You can delete
Your Cookie file at any time. Most Web browsers are initially set up
to accept Cookies. You can reset Your Web browser to refuse Cookies or
to indicate when a Cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts
of Our services will not function properly or may be considerably
slower if You refuse Cookies. For example, without Cookies, You will
not be able to set personalized preferences, and You may have
difficulty completing marketing transactions.
You may occasionally get Cookies from Our business partners. We do not
control these Cookies. The use of advertising Cookies sent by such
third-party Web servers is standard in the Internet industry.
With Whom Do We Share Information?
As a general rule, We will not disclose any specific personal
information that You submit to Us about You ("Personal Information")
in a manner that connects You with the Personal Information, except
when We have Your permission or under special circumstances, such as
when We believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the
circumstances described below. The following describes some of the
ways that Your Personal Information may be disclosed.
We may disclose some or all of Your Personal Information to business
partners or sponsors, but this use will be specifically described to
You prior to data collection or prior to transferring the data. Many
promotions offer opportunities to request additional information from
sponsors. By requesting more information, You give Us permission to
transfer Your Personal Information to the sponsor so they can fulfill
Your request. In many instances, only Your e-mail address will be
shared. If more Personal Information will be shared with the sponsor,
You will be notified prior to the transfer.
From time to time, You may be offered the opportunity to receive
materials or special offers from third parties. If You opt to receive
information from these third parties, We will (with Your permission)
share Your name and e-mail address with such third parties. Under
confidentiality agreements, We may match Personal Information with
third party data. Also, We may keep track of what portions of Our Web
Site Users are visiting and other User statistics, and aggregate this
information to help Us create a better experience for Users of Our Web
Site. This is all done without knowing Your name or other Personal
Information in order to describe Our viewers and services to
prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for
other lawful purposes.
We may also disclose account information in special cases when We have
reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be
violating Our Terms of Use, or may be causing injury to or
interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with any of Our
rights or property, other Users, or anyone else. We may disclose or
access account information when We believe in good faith that the law
requires it and for administrative and other purposes that We deem
necessary to maintain, service, and improve Our products and services.
How Can You Control The Usage Of Information?
In case You change Your mind or some Personal Information changes
(such as Your zip code or e-mail address), We will try to provide a
way to correct, update or remove the Personal Information that You
give us. We also give You the opportunity to control the
communications We direct to You. If You wish to update Personal
Information or object to any usage provided herein for any reason, You
may e-mail the requested change to support@cg.com.
What Happens When You Link To A Third Party Site?
You should be aware that when You are on Our Web site You can
hyperlink, or be directed to, other Web sites that are beyond Our
control and/or outside Our service. For example, if You "click" on a
banner advertisement or a search result, the "click" may transfer You
off Our Web Site. These other Web sites may include sites of
advertisers, sponsors, and partners that may use Our logos as part of
a co-branding agreement. These other Web sites may send their own
Cookies to Users, collect data, or solicit Information.
We do not control such Web sites, and, therefore, are not responsible
for their contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they choose to
place on such Web sites. The inclusion of hyperlinks to these Web
sites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such Web sites
or any association with their operators. Our Privacy Policy does not
extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet,
which is beyond Our control.
Please keep in mind that whenever You give out information on-line
(for example, via message boards or forums) that information can be
collected and used by people You do not know. While We strive to
protect Users' information and privacy, We cannot guarantee the
security of any information You disclose on-line, and You disclose
such information at Your own risk.
Is Information Secure From Others Using Our Web Site?
The security of all information associated with Our Users is an
important concern to Us. We exercise care in providing secure
transmission of Your information from Your computer to Our servers.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while We strive to protect
Your information, We can't ensure or warrant the security of any
information You transmit to Us or from Our on-line products or
services, and You do so at Your own risk. Once We receive Your
transmission, We use industry standard efforts to safeguard the
confidentiality of Your information, such as firewalls and Secure
Socket Layers (SSL). However, "perfect security" does not exist on the
Internet.
YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
By using Our Web Site, You signify Your agreement to Our Privacy
Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT
USE OUR WEB SITE. Your continued use of Our Web sites following the
posting of changes to these terms will mean You accept those changes.
