We also record search requests and results to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of our search engine. We use your IP address to track your use of the Site. We also collect information provided by "cookies" stored on your hard drive.

In addition, such data may be stored on servers located in other jurisdictions. By providing us with your data, you consent to the transfer of such data.  
As our services evolve, the types of information we collect may change. Please check this Privacy Policy frequently for the most current explanation of our data practices.  
We may use demographic and Site usage information collected from visitors to, among other purposes, improve the usefulness of our Sites and to prepare aggregate, non-identifying information used in marketing, advertising, or similar activities.

FOR OUR CONSUMERS  
NEPTUN Light, Inc (“NEPTUN”) is sensitive to your privacy issues on the Internet. We believe it is important you know how we treat the information about you which we receive via the Internet.  
OUR GENERAL POLICY When it comes to consumer data collected electronically, NEPTUN strives to provide notice, choice, access and security-in precisely the ways described below. In general, you, as an existing or new consumer-customer, can visit NEPTUN on the World Wide Web without saying who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses. This information may be aggregated on a "no names" basis to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. NEPTUN uses this data to measure the use of, and improve the content of, our sites.  
HOW YOUR CONSUMER DATA MAY BE USED There are times when NEPTUN may collect information from you, such as your name and street and/or e-mail address. When information is requested, we will try to let you know, at the time of collection, how we will use it. Usually, the personal information we collect is used only to respond to your inquiry, process an order, allow you to access specific account information, or advise you of special promotions, discounts and updates. Individual information may be shared within the NEPTUN family of companies to better serve our customers' interests and needs. Occasionally, we may make e-mail addresses available to our carefully selected business partners--other repupolicy_texts organizations or companies (both NEPTUN and non-NEPTUN) whose products or services we believe you may find interesting or useful. If you register with one of NEPTUN 's websites online, we may use this information to provide you with custom information about NEPTUN's offering in support of your business needs. Technologies such as "cookies" or "web trackers" may be used to provide you with tailored information. A cookie is a tiny element of data that a web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize when you return. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. Other new and innovative technologies which may enable us to customize our offerings to better meet our consumers' needs may be used if and as they become available.  
NON-CONSUMER COMMUNICATIONS NEPTUN engages regularly in electronic communications with persons and entities other than consumer end-users. This includes communication with business entities with whom NEPTUN has an existing or prospective business relationship and their employees or agents. In order to avoid possible confusion, the privacy options set forth below are not meant to apply to communications generated in the "business-to-business" or B2B environment. In addition, communications utilizing NEPTUN-provided computer equipment and/or e-mail addresses are considered non-consumer usage and are therefore not encompassed by the NEPTUN Privacy Policy.
