CSI International Inc. uses two
types of user information: anonymous information gathered
from cookies and log files, and personal information
you provide us for certain services. See below for
definitions of each of these methods.
Anonymous
Information - Cookies and Log Files
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard
drive containing information about the user. Usage
of a cookie is in no way linked to personal information,
until a user provides that information (see below).
If a user rejects or deletes the cookie, he/she may
still use our site. Cookies also enable us to track
and aggregate clickstream behavior data. By doing
this we can better target the interests of our users
and enhance their experience on our site.
CSI International Inc. also maintains
standard web logs that record data about all visitors
to this Web site. These logs may contain:
- The Internet domain from which
you access this site.
- Your IP address (Your computer
is automatically assigned an IP address when you

system you use.
- The date and time you visited
this site.

CSI International Inc. uses web
log and clickstream information to help us design
our site, to identify popular site features and to
make the site more useful for visitors. Web logs are
recorded in sequential files, and we normally do not
attempt to identify individuals from these logs. However,
we may use web logs to identify persons attempting
to break into, disrupt, or damage our Site. We may
share web log information with law enforcement personnel
if we believe evidence exists, or is likely to occur,
of a violation of federal, state or local laws or
regulations.

(name, e-mail address, phone number, etc.) in order
for us to provide them with services such as brochure

sell or rent user information to any third parties.
