Privacy Policy
We Keep Personal Information Private And We Limit Our Use Of Personal Information
Information you may provide in visiting our Site falls into two broad
categories: Personally Identifiable Information, and Aggregate
Information. ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ is information that
can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, email
address, or mailing address. ‘Aggregate Information’ is information that
does not identify you, and may include, for example, statistical
information concerning the Web pages on our Site that users most
frequent. We do not share with unrelated third parties any Personally
Identifiable Information you provide to us. By ‘unrelated third parties’
we mean (i) anyone who is not directly involved in the maintenance or
running of our Site, or (ii) not involved in fulfilling requests you
make at our Site, or (iii) is not within QEP’s corporate family.
We use Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us strictly for the purposes for which you have provided it. For example, if you request to receive specific information, and you provide us with contact information (which may include Personally Identifiable Information, such as an e-mail address, mailing address, or phone number), we will use that information to contact you regarding your request or to send you the information.
Exceptions To Our Privacy Policy
There are exceptions to our Privacy Policy in that it may be necessary
for QEP to release or use Personally Identifiable Information QEP in
good faith believes is appropriate in connection with legal proceedings,
or in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment,
order of a court-appointed receiver, or other comparable legal process,
including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action, or as QEP
believes appropriate to enforce the Terms or to protect the integrity of
our Site.
Use Of ‘Cookies’
We may collect Aggregate Information about your use of our Site through
cookies and similar Internet technologies. ‘Cookies’ are small pieces of
information that a Web site transfers to your hard drive, where it is
stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping
purposes (such as storing user preferences). If we use cookies, they do
not collect or retain your name or other Personally Identifiable
Information. If we use cookies, we will treat all information that may
be collected through cookies and similar Internet technologies as
Aggregate Information.
If You Visit Our Site To Browse Or To Read Or Download Information
We may collect and store: the name of the domain name and host from
which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com); the Internet
Protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using; the browser
software you use and your operating system; the date and time you access
our Site, and other activity on our Site; and the Internet address of
the Web site from which you linked to our Site. If we collect this
information, we use it for system administration, to measure the number
of visitors to our Site, to improve Site performance, to help us make
our Site more useful and/or to gather broad Aggregate Information. We do
not link an IP address to Personally Identifiable Information, meaning
that a user’s session will be logged but the user remains anonymous to
us. If we do decide to link any Aggregate Information, or your IP
address to your Personally Identifiable Information, we will treat the
resulting information as ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ for all
purposes under our Privacy Policy contained herein.
