Privacy Policy
By using this site, you agree to the Privacy Policy of Mindspear
Technologies. If you do not agree to the Policy, please do not use
this site. Mindspear Technologies reviews its privacy policy periodically
and reserves the right, at its discretion, to modify or remove portions
of this policy at any time. This page should be reviewed periodically
so that you are updated on any changes. If you want to communicate

Mindspear Technologies (aka Mindspear), which operates
the Internet site located at www.mindspear.com, recognizes the importance
of protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information
collected about visitors to our sites. As a general policy, no personally
identifiable information, such as your name, address or email address,
is automatically collected from visitors to our sites. Personally
identifiable information about visitors to our sites is collected
only when knowingly and voluntarily submitted. We may collect certain
non-personal information to optimize our Web pages for your computer
(i.e., the identity of your Internet browser, the type of operating
system you use, your IP address and the domain name of your Internet
service provider). We may use such non-personal information for
internal purposes, including but not limited to improving the content
of our sites.
In those instances when we do collect personally
identifiable information, the following policies apply:
Personally identifiable information that visitors submit to our
sites is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted unless
we disclose other uses in this Privacy Policy or at the time of
collection. Such other uses may include sending you information
or materials we think you will find interesting. However, at the
time of collection, you will have the option of instructing us not
to send you additional information or share your personal information
with third parties.
Mindspear may use personally identifiable information
in aggregate form to make our sites better and more responsive to
the needs of our visitors. This statistical compilation and analysis
of information may also be used by Mindspear or provided to others,
in aggregate, for marketing, advertising or research purposes.
If at any time after submitting your personal information
to our sites you would no longer like to receive information from
us, simply follow the "unsubscribe" directions at the
end of any email communication you receive.
Personal information may be disclosed in special
situations where Mindspear Technologies has reason to believe that
doing so is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against anyone damaging, injuring, or interfering (intentionally
or unintentionally) with Mindspear Technologies rights, property,
users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. Also,
Mindspear Technologies may reveal information when we believe in
good faith that the law requires it.
Mindspear Technologies maintains appropriate safeguards
to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personally identifiable
information submitted to our sites, and periodically reviews and
updates its security measures in light of current technologies.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be totally secure. Although Mindspear Technologies strives to
protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warranty
the security of any information you may transmit to us or from our
online products and services. This is done so at your own risk.
Once we do receive your transmission, however, we make our best
effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Cookies are data that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard
drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies, which are an industry
standard used by most Web sites, including those operated by Mindspear
Technologies, can facilitate a user's ongoing access to and use
of a site. They allow us to track usage patterns and to compile
data that can help us improve our content and target advertising.
Mindspear Technologies does not save passwords or credit card information
within Cookies, nor are our Cookies programs that can cause damage
to a user's systems or files. If you do not want information collected
through the use of Cookies, there is a simple procedure in most
browsers that allows you to deny or accept the Cookie feature. But
you should note that Cookies may be necessary to provide you with
features such as merchandise transactions or registered services.
Links to Third Party and Co-Branded Sites
Mindspear Technologies has established relationships with reputable
business partners that allow visitors to our Internet sites to link
directly to sites operated by these partners. These sites may collect
personal information from you that may be shared with Mindspear
Technologies. As noted above, this Privacy Policy will apply to
any personal information we obtain in this manner.
Mindspear Technologies chooses its business partners
carefully. However, Mindspear Technologies is not responsible for
the content or practices of Web sites operated by third parties
that are linked to our sites. These links are meant for the user's
convenience only. Links to third party sites do not constitute sponsorship,
endorsement or approval by Mindspear Technologies of the content,
policies or practices of such third party sites. Once you have left

applicable privacy policy of the third party site.
