Privacy Policy

Information Collected

In general, you can visit this Web site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. Our web servers also seek (as many Web sites do) to place a “cookie” (a small data file) on your computer’s hard drive which allows the server to determine the computer when it visits again, in order to track statistical information about navigation to and throughout certain areas of our site, and to promotions on other sites. This cookie is not used to obtain your name or any personal data, and the information that is tracked is used only for internal purposes, such as to improve site navigation and to measure the effectiveness of our promotional placements, and is not shared with anyone other than ISM affiliates and contractors who assist ISM in these efforts and are bound to confidentiality. However, if you prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your browser to reject them or to alert you before one is placed. In addition, there are portions of this Web 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, like a Quote Form. The information collected from you may include your name, email, telephone, company name.

Use of Collected Information

Domain name information that we collect is not used to personally identify you and instead is aggregated to measure the number of visits, 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, we generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal information. Usually, we use the personal information you provide only to respond to your inquiry or to process your request (such as a quote form). This information may be shared with other ISM businesses, but only if necessary to fulfill your request or for related purposes.

If you register with one of ISM’s business units online, they may use this information to provide you with custom information about ISM’s offerings in support of your business needs. They may also seek to place a “cookie” (small data file) as discussed above in order to provide you with tailored information. You should review the privacy policy associated with that ISM business’ Web site for further information about that ISM business’ privacy practices.

Links to Other Sites

ISM’s Web site may contain links to other sites such as Abacus vendors and strategic partners. While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices employed by other sites.

Security of Collected Information

We maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate access. We restrict access to information about you to those Abacus workers who need to know the information to respond to your inquiry or request.
