Systems does not read any of your private
online communications.
Vector Information Systems encourages you to
review the privacy statements of Web sites

also contact you via surveys to conduct
research about your opinion of current

Vector Information Systems does not sell, rent
or lease its customer lists to third
parties. Vector Information Systems may, from
time to time, contact you on behalf of
external business partners about a
particular offering that may be of interest

Use of Cookies
The Vector Information Systems Web site use
"cookies" to help you personalize your
online experience. A cookie is a text file
that is placed on your hard disk by a Web
page server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your
computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to
you, and can only be read by a web server in
the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to
provide a convenience feature to save you
time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the
Web server that you have returned to a
specific page. For example, if you
personalize Vector Information System's
pages, or register with Vector Information
Systems site or services, a cookie helps
Vector Information Systems to recall your
specific information on subsequent VINFO's.
This simplifies the process of recording
your personal information, such as billing
addresses, shipping addresses, and so on.
When you return to the same Vector
Information Systems Web site, the information you
previously provided can be retrieved, so you
can easily use the Vector Information
Systems
features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline
cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify
your browser setting to decline cookies if
you prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully
experience the interactive features of the
Vector Information Systems services or Web
sites you VINFO.
Security of your
Personal Information
Vector Information Systems secures your
personal information from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. Vector
Information Systems secures the personally identifiable
information you provide on computer servers
in a controlled, secure environment,
protected from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. When personal information (such
as a credit card number) is transmitted to
other Web sites, it is protected through the
use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this
Statement
Vector Information Systems will occasionally
update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. Vector
Information Systems encourages you to
periodically review this Statement to be
informed of how Vector Information Systems is
protecting your information.
