Privacy Policy

We Keep Personal Information Private And We Limit Our Use Of Personal Information

Information you may provide in visiting our Site falls into two broad categories: Personally Identifiable Information, and Aggregate Information. ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, email address, or mailing address. ‘Aggregate Information’ is information that does not identify you, and may include, for example, statistical information concerning the Web pages on our Site that users most frequent. We do not share with unrelated third parties any Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us. By ‘unrelated third parties’ we mean (i) anyone who is not directly involved in the maintenance or running of our Site, or (ii) not involved in fulfilling requests you make at our Site, or (iii) is not within QEP’s corporate family.

We use Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us strictly for the purposes for which you have provided it. For example, if you request to receive specific information, and you provide us with contact information (which may include Personally Identifiable Information, such as an e-mail address, mailing address, or phone number), we will use that information to contact you regarding your request or to send you the information.

Exceptions To Our Privacy Policy

There are exceptions to our Privacy Policy in that it may be necessary for QEP to release or use Personally Identifiable Information QEP in good faith believes is appropriate in connection with legal proceedings, or in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver, or other comparable legal process, including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action, or as QEP believes appropriate to enforce the Terms or to protect the integrity of our Site.

Use Of ‘Cookies’

We may collect Aggregate Information about your use of our Site through cookies and similar Internet technologies. ‘Cookies’ are small pieces of information that a Web site transfers to your hard drive, where it is stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes (such as storing user preferences). If we use cookies, they do not collect or retain your name or other Personally Identifiable Information. If we use cookies, we will treat all information that may be collected through cookies and similar Internet technologies as Aggregate Information.

If You Visit Our Site To Browse Or To Read Or Download Information

We may collect and store: the name of the domain name and host from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com); the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using; the browser software you use and your operating system; the date and time you access our Site, and other activity on our Site; and the Internet address of the Web site from which you linked to our Site. If we collect this information, we use it for system administration, to measure the number of visitors to our Site, to improve Site performance, to help us make our Site more useful and/or to gather broad Aggregate Information. We do not link an IP address to Personally Identifiable Information, meaning that a user’s session will be logged but the user remains anonymous to us. If we do decide to link any Aggregate Information, or your IP address to your Personally Identifiable Information, we will treat the resulting information as ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ for all purposes under our Privacy Policy contained herein.
