Gathering of Information

Voluntary Submission

SEEI does not collect personally identifying information about any individual SEEI Web site user unless knowingly provided by such individual.

Cookies

A cookie is a data file that certain Web sites write to your computer's hard drive when you visit such sites. A cookie file can contain information, such as a user identification code, that the site uses to track the pages you have visited. SEEI uses cookies solely to track user traffic patterns throughout the SEEI Web site. We use this data on an anonymous basis and we do not correlate this information with personal data of any user.

Most Web site browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to display a warning before accepting a cookie, or to refuse all cookies.

Browser Level Information

SEEI Web servers automatically collect information about a site user's IP address, browser type and URL by reading this information from the user's browser (information provided by every user's browser). This information is collected in a database and used in an aggregated, anonymous manner for our internal analysis of traffic patterns within our Web site. This information is automatically logged by most Web sites.

Use of Information

Our primary goal in collecting user information is to enhance your experience on our Web site. We achieve this goal by, among other things, providing interactive communications such as e-mail address that you provide to us, and developing future content based on your interests.

We do not disclose personally identifying information about our users to third parties without users consent. However, SEEI may under certain circumstances disclose information about our users and when we believe, in good faith, that the disclosure is required by law.

When you are on an area of SEEI and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with SEEI as well as business partners and vendors providing hosting and other services for SEEI. If you do not want your information to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of your information by not using that particular service. These parties, as well as advertisers who contract directly with a third-party service to serve their advertisements, may set their own cookies.

Please be aware that Web sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those parties and Web sites linked to SEEI are not covered by this privacy statement. SEEI users should also be aware that, when you voluntarily disclose personal information in chat areas or bulletin boards, that information may be collected by others and may result in unsolicited messages from others.

Children’s privacy

SEEI is committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests.
