Like most sites, the Center can track the user's IP when visiting the site. The IP allows the Center to track for each user the IP, the browser type, the part of the world from which the user is connecting and the identity of the user's Internet service provider. However, the IP does not provide any personally identifiable information and allows the user to remain anonymous. This information helps us to improve site navigation and to make improvements to the site and content. We also allow users to voluntarily register with the Center.
Registration allows the user to receive newsletters, site updates and special services.
During the registration process we ask you for your name, address, email address, occupations, and general demographic information. This information helps us to customize the site for you, to understand how we can better serve you, and to improve our site. The Center collects personal information on the order forms, which ask for billing information such as name, postal address, email address and credit card number should you decide to place an order online. Please be aware that if you voluntarily disclose information over the Internet, personal or otherwise, the information is subject to review and collection by unintended third parties. For example, using chat, bulletin boards, or your e-mail, if you post personal information online you may receive unsolicited messages from others.
