Do we collect personal information?
In some cases, SMAC 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 happens if I register?
Registration is allowed or required on certain SMAC Sites. Please refer to the agreements and policies applicable to the SMAC Site for which you provide registration information in order to assure that you understand the applicable privacy practices. SMAC may collect registration data in order to monitor compliance with the terms of use governing the Site and to set up access permissions to certain SMAC Sites.

What security is provided?
We do not treat your general interaction with smac-news.com (e.g., submission of suggestions) as confidential. However, certain SMAC Sites do conduct transactions for which heightened security is appropriate. For instance, certain SMAC 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 that most internet browsers also offer security alerts that permit you to determine whether your transmissions are protected. Please refer to the agreements and policies applicable to the SMAC Site for which you provide personal information in order to assure that you understand applicable security practices.

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 SMAC 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 SMAC and/or SMAC's systems and customers, or to ensure the integrity and operation of SMAC and/or SMAC's business and systems, SMAC and/or SMAC may access and disclose any information it considers necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.

Does this apply to all of the SMAC Sites?
Through smac-news.com, you may link to many networked web pages and websites operated by SMAC and its subsidiaries and affiliates (together, the "SMAC Sites"). Not all of them have adopted this policy. Individual SMAC Sites may adopt different privacy policies that fit transactions taking place on that SMAC Site. If a SMAC Site has its own privacy policy, the provisions of that policy will control if it conflicts with this general policy. Also, some SMAC 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 SMAC and applicable privacy practices.

What about external links?
For the convenience of our Site visitors, SMAC may provide links to third party web sites that are external to SMAC. These web sites are not operated or controlled by SMAC, and SMAC is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such external web sites.

How do we keep current?
From time to time, SMAC may revise this Privacy Policy at its discretion. We note the date of the policy below, so you know when it was last updated. SMAC advises you to check back periodically to review the Privacy Policy because users of the Site will be prospectively bound by the then-current version of this Privacy Policy.
