What data do we collect automatically and why? When you visit
CMGHD.com or MissionCriticalTV.com and you have not otherwise identified
yourself (e.g., via registration with a CMG Site), our web server automatically
recognizes your domain name, but not your e-mail address. We collect
the domain name and monitor general site use and traffic patterns to
improve our web site and the products and services we offer. CMG uses
web server logs to collect data for metric purposes. Examples of the
types of data collected on the logs are IP addresses, referral pages,
date and time of Site access, and Site visited. We may use collected
data to customize the content and/or layout of our pages for each individual
visitor.
Do we use Cookies or Tracers? Cookies are small data files placed
on your hard drive by a website server when you visit. CMGHD.com or
MissionCriticalTV.com may use cookies for tracking purposes or to make
the Site easier to use. Cookies are currently the only way to effectively
identify a unique anonymous visitor and understand how they navigate
our web site. An anonymous visitor to our site remains anonymous in
all cases. We do not attempt to identify visitors if they do not voluntarily
submit personal information to us. With most internet browsers, you
can erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies,
or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Cookies offer enhanced
functionality to the user, but whether you allow a cookie to be placed
on your computer is up to you!
In some instances, we use tracking scripts or "tracers" that
recognize a unique identifier from a cookie placed on your hard drive
by another website. These are used by CMG solely to gauge the success
of our own advertising. For instance, we may use a tracer to determine
whether you visit our employment pages after visiting a resume or career
site where CMG placed a banner ad. We do not use tracers to gather
information on your use of the internet unrelated to CMG. Please note
that CMG does not use tracers to identify your personal information,
and you remain anonymous unless and until you choose to register.
Do we collect personal information? In some cases, CMG requests personally
identifiable information from you in order to satisfy the underlying
transaction or purpose of your accessing the Site. Examples of personally
identifiable information include names, e-mail addresses, mailing addresses,
and the like. Please note that we do not consider aggregated information,
from which personally identifiable information has been removed, to
be private.
What security is provided? We do not treat your general interaction
with CMGHD.com, MissionCriticalHealth.com or MissionCriticalTV.com
(e.g., submission of suggestions) as confidential. However,
certain CMG Sites do conduct transactions for which heightened
security is appropriate. For instance, certain CMG Sites
encrypt your personal information (e.g., for transmission
of credit card data), so that only appropriate personnel
are able to decode your information. Note CMGHD site's do
conduct financial transactions and most internet browsers
also offer security alerts that permit you to determine whether your
transmissions are protected.
When would we disclose your information? We do not rent, sell, or
trade any personally identifiable information about you (e.g., e-mail
addresses) to third parties. Certain CMG Sites may disclose information
to third parties assisting us in processing a transaction requested
by you (e.g., credit card service providers). In order to cooperate
with legitimate governmental requests, subpoenas, or court orders,
to protect CMG and/or CMG's systems and customers, or to ensure the
integrity and operation of CMG and/or CMG's business and systems, CMG
and/or CMG may access and disclose any information it considers necessary
or appropriate under the circumstances.
What about children's privacy? CMG asks parents to supervise children
under 13 and not to browse any information on the internet
without supervision. CMG welcomes the parent or guardian
of a child under the age of 13 to use the Site and provide
any information, service, or product gained from the Site to
their child. The pages found on CMGHD.com and MissionCriticalTV.com
do not gather identifiable personal information and is operated
as a static Site for informational purposes only.
What if data is transmitted internationally? If you are one of our
international guests, we realize that you may want to know whether
your personal information will be transferred out of your country of
origin. Please be aware that when you register or request a transaction
on a CMG Site, your personal data may be transferred to computers in
the United States in order to process your request.
Does this apply to all of the CMG Sites? Through CMGHD.com, MissionCriticalHealth.com
and MissionCriticalTV.com, you may link to many networked
web pages and websites operated by CMG and its subsidiaries
and affiliates (together, the "CMG Sites"). Not all of them
have adopted this policy. Individual CMG Sites may adopt
different privacy policies that fit transactions taking place
on that CMG Site. If a CMG Site has its own privacy policy,
the provisions of that policy will control if it conflicts
with this general policy. Also, some CMG Sites are intended
to facilitate interaction with other businesses, and may
not adopt a privacy policy for individuals. Users of those
Sites should check with their employer regarding the employer's
arrangements with CMG and applicable privacy practices.
What about external links? For the convenience of our Site visitors,
CMG may provide links to third party web sites that are external
to CMG. These web sites are not operated or controlled by
CMG, and CMG is not responsible for the privacy practices
or the content of such external web sites. CMG websites are
owned by CMG, a private company, and is not employeed by or supported
by any government or military departments, associations or non-profits.
