Data Collection for Statistics
To aid in web site management, certain information is collected for statistical purposes. The Group's web host uses specialized software to create
summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing what information is of most and least interest to our customers, and
determining technical design specifications

We collect only the following information about your visit:

We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our web site, allowing us to make our web site
more useful and accessible to visitors. We do not store any personal identifiers.

Information Collected from E-mails and Forms
You may decide to send us personally identifying information through e-mail messages or through on-line forms. Electronic communication allows
us to collect information that will improve our web site for you, and we encourage it. We use personally-identifying information from consumers in
various ways to further our customer's protection and to provide better service. This may be to correct broken links that you have identified or
provide additional information that you have requested.
