This policy is meant to be a supplement to any other agreement we have with you and does not supersede any of these agreements.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, GUASFCU collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. GUASFCU’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how GUASFCU’s visitors use its website. From time to time, GUASFCU may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.GUASFCU also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP).
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to GUASFCU’s websites choose to interact with GUASFCU in ways that require GUASFCU to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that GUASFCU gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a newsletter to provide a name, company and email address. In each case, GUASFCU collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with GUASFCU. GUASFCU does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

GUASFCU may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, GUASFCU may monitor website usage information. GUASFCU may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, GUASFCU does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

GUASFCU discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, affiliated organizations, and third party services such as Google Analytics that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on GUASFCU’s behalf or to provide services available at GUASFCU’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.

GUASFCU will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, GUASFCU discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when GUASFCU believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of GUASFCU, third parties or the public at large, or in order to provide marketing and/or services to customers or potential customers, or to collect and analyze information. If you have supplied your email address, GUASFCU may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with GUASFCU and our products.
