1. Information collected about you

nCipher collects and maintains certain personal information about you when you send us email or complete any of our online forms. The personal information you provide can identify you and your business individually, and may include items such as your name and email address, job title, company name and address, phone number, Web site address and contact details of the Web site administrator.

nCipher also collects, or logs, certain other information that cannot identify you personally when you visit our Web site. This information includes your Internet Protocol ("IP") address and your domain name. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by the ISP computer through which you access the Web and a domain name is the name of the ISP computer itself through which you access the Web.

nCipher logs these IP addresses and domain names and aggregates them for system administration and to monitor the use of our site. We use the aggregated information to measure the number of visits to our site, the average time spent on our site, the number of pages viewed, and various other site use statistics. This monitoring helps us evaluate how our Web site is used and continuously improve the content we provide. While we may report aggregated IP address information to program participants, ncipher.com does not link IP addresses or domain names with any personally identifiable information, which means that a visitor's session will be logged on our servers but the visitor will always remain anonymous.

nCipher does not purchase or otherwise obtain any supplemental personal information about you from any third parties.

We do not collect any information from you online other than the personal information described above. nCipher does not use cookies to collect information about you for any reason.

2a. Ways cookies are used

A "cookie" is "a text-only string that gets entered into the memory of your browser" (source: The Unofficial Cookie FAQ). Cookies themselves cannot be used to "steal" information, only to preserve information that you, your browser or a Web server has supplied.

nCipher may use cookies to save your Web site preferences to improve your experience of the nCipher Web site. Uses may include but are not limited to remembering login information or preserving audio preferences for Flash animations.

nCipher also may use cookies or tracking images (also known as "web bugs") for the purposes of gathering Web site usage information, or employ a third party service such as WebTrends Reporting Service for this purpose.
