Information Collected
In general, you can visit this Site without telling us who you are or
revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers may collect
the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. In addition,
there are portions of this Site where we may need to collect personal
information from you for a specific purpose, such as to provide you
with certain information you request. The information collected from

address. You may refuse any request for personal information. This
Site is not intended for persons under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly
solicit or collect personal information from or about children, and
we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.
Use of Collected Information
Domain name information that we collect is not used to personally identify
you. It is used to measure viewer statistics, such as the number of
viewers that visit the Site, average time spent on the Site, pages
viewed, etc. We use this information to measure the use of our Site
and to improve the content of our Site.
When other information is collected from you, such as your name and
e-mail address, GDC will make reasonable efforts to let you know at the
time of collection how this information will be used. Usually, the personal
information you provide will only be used to respond to an inquiry you
make or to process your request. This information may be shared with
other GDC businesses, but only if necessary to fulfill your request or
for related purposes.
GDC does not share, sell, or lease personal information about you to
any third-parties for their marketing use. GDC will release information
about you if you direct GDC to do so, if GDC is required by law to do
so, or in other legally limited circumstances.
If you register with one of GDC’s business units on-line, they
may use your information to provide you with custom information about
GDC’s offerings in support of your business needs. You should review
the privacy policy associated with that GDC business’ Web site
for further information about that GDC business’ privacy practices.

employed by other sites.
Security of Collected Information
GDC maintains strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards
to protect your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate
