In any such transactions, personal information generally is, and should be expected to be, one of the transferred business assets. Use of Cookies The Website may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Energy Dispatch pages, or register with Energy Dispatch site or services, a cookie helps Energy Dispatch to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as a mailing address or other personal information. When you return to the same location on the Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Energy Dispatch features that you may have customized. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience certain interactive features of the Energy Dispatch services or locations on the Website you visit. Security of your Personal Information To the extent that Energy Dispatch collects personal information via the Website, Energy Dispatch secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Energy Dispatch secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Children The Website is intended for a general audience and is not intended for use or view by children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect information about children or sell products to children. Consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, we will not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, you must ask your parent or guardian to assist you in using the Website.
