No personal information gathered for access to this site - including e-mail addresses - will be released to a third party without the subject's consent, except as stipulated below. As with any password-protected site, identity is established at logon and thus it is possible to identify the pages a specific user visits within the site.

• USE OF DIGITAL COOKIES
A cookie is a small data file issued to visitors by certain Web sites, and stored on the visitor's hard drive. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track which pages are visited - information that is useful for marketing purposes and to keep high-traffic pages easily accessible to users. A cookie cannot read or extract information from a hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Visitors can refuse cookies by turning them off in the browser. The Lederman Bonding Company reserves the right to use and implement cookies or allow its advertisers to do so. We do not control, nor do we have any access to, the cookie information advertisers may collect.
This site also contains links to other sites. The Lederman Bonding Company is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of other websites, except those under the jurisdiction of the Lederman Bonding Company.
• TRAFFIC LOGGING
In order to better service the needs of those who visit our site, the Lederman Bonding Company keeps track of certain traffic data. These include the platform used (such as a Macintosh or PC), browser type (such as Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer), IP address (or Internet Protocol address, which identifies the visitor's service provider, but not the visitor personally) and the previous URL (Uniform Resource Locator, or Web address) visited by the visitor before clicking through to Lederman Bonding Company. None of these disclose personal information, and the information they do reveal is used exclusively for internal administrative purposes.
TheLederman Bonding Company's search engine collects aggregate search terms for internal reporting and targeted advertising. The Lederman Bonding Company monitors aggregate visitor activity on the sites and may share this information with advertisers, but at no stage are individual users personally identifiable, nor is any personal information divulged.
• SPECIAL EVENTS
The Lederman Bonding Company is also involved in organizing and conducting conferences and educational events, and may, from time to time, use the Web to promote these events, sell conference subscriptions and invite prospective attendees to supply certain information about themselves. This demographic data may then be used for pre- or post-conference marketing and could be shared with our event co-sponsors, but will not be disclosed to any other third parties without the consent of the individual or organization concerned. The Lederman Bonding Company will also require these co-sponsors to respect the privacy of those who entrust information to the Lederman Bonding Company.
Conference attendees are sometimes asked to supply certain personal information, including name, contact information and credit card number. The contact information is used for communicating with attendees regarding the conference and may be used for promotion of future conferences. Billing information will be used solely for billing purposes and will not otherwise be disclosed.
• ORDER FORMS
The Lederman Bonding Company also uses the Web to promote city events and services. In some cases, personal information may be requested. Once again, this information will not be shared with any third parties without the user's consent.
• SECURITY
When an order is placed online, the Lederman Bonding Company scrambles personal data and credit card information using SSL encryption technology. This makes it virtually impossible for information to be stolen or intercepted while being transferred across the Internet. We treat customer information given to us online with the same confidentiality that we do with customer records on paper and with information taken over the phone by Lederman Bonding Company customer service representatives. Upon receipt, orders are encrypted until processed.
However, no technology is fail-proof. It is possible -- even if remote -- for an unauthorized person to gain access to this information despite the safeguard of a secure server. Consequently, visitors using forms on our site do so at their own risk.
• NOTICE TO PARENTS
The sections of City's site that are geared to children (safety, educational services) do not contain any online forms. We do not ask children for any personally identifying information.
