Privacy and Customer Security Policies

February 20, 2004

When you visit Corpus.com, we may collect the following information about your visit:

Anonymous statistics collected as you browse the site
Personal information you knowingly give us

Corpus collects personal information such as name, address, and e-mail address, when you knowingly provide it to us. Our Web servers automatically collect statistical information about your visit such as pages visited and which browsers are used to visit our site. None of this information is associated with you as an individual (see information about cookies). We use these statistics to monitor our site's performance and to make it easier for you to use.

When you supply information for a specific purpose, we use the information for that purpose and that purpose only. If the way we use personally identifiable information changes, Corpus will contact you via e-mail notifying you of this change and giving you the opportunity to opt out of such use.

Registration Forms

When you choose to register with Corpus.com or any other Corpus site, we request accurate contact information and preferences that help us better serve you. You will be able to choose if your contact information is used to send you company information, industry updates, and in some cases, newsletters.

Anytime you register with us you may:

Opt out. At any time after the initial registration, you can opt out by either going to Contact Us and e-mailing us your request, or in some applications you can cancel/change your profile within the application itself.
Update your contact and personal information anytime by notifying us of changes to this information previously collected from you online.

In order to improve your experience with us, we may decide to improve our site's ability to obtain information about users. We will update this privacy statement continually to ensure that you are aware of developments in this area.

Selling & Disclosure of Information

We do not sell or disclose individually identifiable information obtained online about our visitors to anyone outside of Corpus. The only exceptions to this rule are the following:

If you specifically authorize Corpus to share your information with another company
It is required by law
Disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of customers, employees, or property

If you provide individually identifiable information at an event Corpus sponsors with another company, or if you register on a co-sponsored Web site, you may be providing the individually identifiable information to the co-sponsor. Review the privacy statement at the event or on the co-branded site to learn how the partner uses this information. Be assured that Corpus uses this information in accordance with this privacy policy.

Use of Personally Identifiable Information

Personal information you voluntarily supply when obtaining information or interacting with Corpus.com is not shared for use outside Corpus. This information is Corpus proprietary data and is not available to any outside company in this personalized form. Should any changes be made in the way we use personally identifiable information, Corpus will contact you via e-mail notifying you of this change and give you the opportunity to choose to opt out of such use.

Profiling Customers

Corpus does not combine offline information about you with the online information that you provide on our Web site.

We have made it a requirement that you will be clearly notified at the time of online data collection for the purpose of customer profiling.

E-mails to Visitors

Corpus strives to continuously improve our customers' online experience by providing them with the latest information about the benefits of Corpus's services. We may provide this information in any number of ways, including e-mails to our customers and online visitors who have provided their e-mail addresses to Corpus. In addition, unless you have chosen to opt out from receiving e-mail messages from Corpus, Corpus may send e-mails to:

Conduct online surveys
Provide marketing information about Corpus services
Provide information to those who have voluntarily provided their e-mail addresses to third parties in order to receive promotional material

Moreover, in the following situations, Corpus reserves the right to communicate through e-mail with online users, including those who have opted out of receiving solicitation-based e-mails, to:

Respond to an online user's e-mail
Send information that a customer or potential customer has requested
Provide emergency, security and online account maintenance information

Corpus supports and complies with all laws governing its e-mail communications and will update this policy as needed to ensure ongoing compliance.

Protecting my Personal Information

We are committed to protecting the information you give us, so we implement the appropriate safeguards to do so. Any information that you give us is protected by a password with a minimum of six characters for added security. Within Corpus, your information is stored in password-protected, limited-access servers. Wherever possible, Corpus servers reside behind a corporate firewall that maintains tight controls on any access to the system from both our internal network and the Internet.
