Manufacturing & Logistics IT Privacy Policy
Manufacturing
& Logistics IT respects your right to the privacy of the
personal information you provide us on our Web sites.
To that end, unless you designate otherwise or we state
otherwise in this policy or at the time information is
collected, any personal information you provide to
Manufacturing & Logistics IT will be known only to two
parties: you and Manufacturing & Logistics IT. The
following policy is intended to explain how your personal
information will be treated as you make use of our sites and
their features. Personal information includes your
name, company, street and e-mail addresses, billing
information, click-through activity and any other personal
information you may provide here. This policy may change
from time to time, so please check back periodically.
Traffic data
Each time a visitor comes to the Manufacturing &
Logistics IT Web site, our servers -- like most on the Web
-- collect some basic technical information, including, for
example, the visitor's domain name (e.g., whether the user
is logged on from aol.com or whitehouse.gov), referral data
(e.g., we record the address of the last URL a user visited
prior to clicking through to the Manufacturing &
Logistics IT Web site) and browser and platform type (e.g.,
a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform).
We also count, track and aggregate the visitor's activity
into our analysis of general traffic flows at our sites
(e.g. tracking where traffic comes from, how traffic flows
within the Manufacturing & Logistics IT sites, etc.). To
these ends, we may merge information about visitors and
visits into
group data, which may then be shared on an aggregated basis
with our advertisers; but we will not disclose your
individual identity or personally identifiable data without
your permission. When we do present aggregated information
to outside companies, no one will be able to identify you or
contact you.
Use of Manufacturing & Logistics IT cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your
browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard
drive. We use cookies in a limited way to help deliver
advertisements, to identify unique browsers that visit us
and to track usage throughout our site.
The information about readership and site usage that
Manufacturing & Logistics IT collects through cookies is
aggregated into general reports about readership and not
tied to individual identities.
Other companies which place advertising on our site also
have the ability to assign their cookies to you in a process
that Manufacturing & Logistics IT does not control.
However, cookies cannot be used to identify individuals,
only machines, so these advertisers will not know who you
are.
Manufacturing & Logistics IT Newsletters
In order to receive Manufacturing & Logistics IT
Newsletters subscribers provide Manufacturing &
Logistics IT with personal information including name,
company name and e-mail address. Manufacturing &
Logistics IT collects this information so that we can
effectively target advertisements. This information may be
shared in aggregate form with our advertisers. When we
present aggregated information to outside companies, no one
will be able to identify or contact you.
"E-mail to a friend" feature
Manufacturing & Logistics IT offers an "e-mail a
friend about this story" feature, allowing site
visitors to send e-mail to friends to inform them about an
article they might be interested in reading. In order for
this feature to function, we ask for e-mail addresses for
the recipient (so we know who to mail the message to) and
from the sender (so we can tell the recipient who sent the
e-mail). We do not store or save these addresses and you
will not receive e-mail or other communications from
Manufacturing & Logistics IT or its partners as a result
of having used this feature.
"E-mail a friend about this story" is a mail
service that individual visitors to Manufacturing &
Logistics IT make use of to send individual e-mails. While
this tool cannot be used to send mass "Spam"
mailings, Manufacturing & Logistics IT has no control
over how our visitors use it, and any e-mail sent through it
originates with, and is the responsibility of, the sender,
not Manufacturing & Logistics IT.
Promotion
From time to time, Manufacturing & Logistics IT may
sponsor sweepstakes, contests or other events which require
the collection, processing and storage of individual contact
and demographic information (e.g., your age and state of
residence) to be used for the event. Manufacturing &
Logistics IT may also co-sponsor these events along with
other companies, in which case the user's individual contact
and demographic information is likely to be shared with
other participating sponsors, who may use this information
as they wish. A registrant's personal contact and
demographic information will not be released to any
third-party organization other than named sponsors without
the user's consent, and Manufacturing & Logistics IT
will request that such named sponsors uphold the privacy of
the registrants' information by not distributing or sharing
such information with any other businesses or organizations.
Surveys
Manufacturing & Logistics IT will from time to time
conduct voluntary surveys of visitors to the site to obtain
aggregate demographic information about them. Such
information may be compiled and shared in the aggregate with
advertisers and other third parties, but no personal details
will be traceable or associated with specific individuals.
Our commitment to children's privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is important to us.
For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information
at our Web sites from those we actually know are under 13,
and no part of our Web site is structured to attract anyone
under 13.
Other disclosure of personal information
Manufacturing & Logistics IT will not otherwise use or
disclose your personal information without your consent
except (i) as described in this privacy policy, or (ii) as
required by law, court order or as requested by other
government or law enforcement authority. This policy does
not protect
information you post to any on-line bulletin board, chat
room, newsgroup or other public forum within our Web sites.
Unsubscribe and data removal policies
If you would like to remove your name and e-mail address
from our newsletter registration database, you can
Unsubscribe directly from the newsletter or our web site.

Manufacturing & Logistics IT contains many links to
other sites on the Web. We cannot control and are not
responsible for the privacy practices or content of such
other Web sites.
