Our use of Cookies
Many Web sites now use "cookies" to provide useful features to
their visitors by providing customized and personalized services.
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. For example, a Web
site may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you,
your preferences, or the pages you last visited.
Your browser software can be set to reject all cookies, or to ask you if
you would like to accept or decline a cookie from a particular site before
it is set. Most browsers offer instructions on how to reset the browser
to reject cookies in the Help section of the toolbar. You should know,
however, that if you reject a cookie, certain functions and conveniences
of a site may not work properly.
We may use cookies on our Web site in the future to store and sometimes
track visitor preferences. We will not link the cookie to any of your personal
information.
Our Children’s
Privacy Policy
Our site does not feature information and services of interest to children
13 years and under, and we do not collect personal information from anyone
we know is a child under 13.
Registration for
Access
Some Web sites require you to provide some personal information through
a registration process in order to take advantage of certain Web site features
and to access content areas. For example, a registration form might request
your name, telephone number and e-mail address.
Access to some of the features on this Web site in the future may require
registration and the disclosure of some personal information, which may
include a specialized registration process for certain programs, events
and classes.
Links to Other Sites
Web sites often provide a number of links that offer direct access to other
useful or interesting Web sites holding potential value to site visitors.
Inclusion of the other sites by links does not imply any endorsement of
the material or information on the other sites.
Users are encouraged to review the privacy policy of each linked site before
sharing personal information.
This site includes links to non-affiliated external Web sites. We encourage
users to review the privacy policy of each linked site, as we cannot be
responsible for the privacy practices of other sites.
We will make every effort to notify you when you are leaving our site and
you may be subjected to different privacy policies than those we have established
for our Web site.
Interactive Services
and Tools
Interactive services, tools and other technology-based features provide
Web site users with a richer and more valuable experience. The tools can
provide you with information that is customized according to your background
and needs.
Some interactive tools may request identifying personal information in
order to function. It is important for you to know how your information
will be used when it is requested, for what purposes it may also be used,
and if it will be shared with any other party.
Security of Communications
We recognize that many people are concerned about the privacy and protection
of information as it is transmitted over the Internet. You should keep
in mind that the possibility exists for unauthorized individuals to intercept
any e-mail message you send over the Internet. In some cases, information
can be encrypted (scrambled or encoded) to make it very difficult to read
if it is intercepted during communication. Certain technology and practices
allow Web sites to provide an increased level of security for your personal
information when appropriate.
To enhance the level of security for communication and the transmission
of personal information, we have appropriate security measures in place
in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration
of information that we have collected from you at our site.
E-commerce, Online
Donations and Online Shopping
i wireless works to protect your personal information by using security
standards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, whether that
information is collected and/or stored online or offline. We make every
reasonable and appropriate effort to safeguard such information from loss,
theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, modification, or
destruction. Specifically, we work to protect the security of your online
order by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL encrypts the
information that you transmit from your computer to i wireless Web site
servers. If you are using a Netscape browser, you can check the security
of your connection by looking at the lower left-hand corner of your browser
window after accessing order fulfillment pages. For Internet Explorer,
review the boxes near the lower right-hand corner. If you see an unbroken
key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active.
Please refer to the following chart to see which security symbols are used
in your browser.
