Anti-Spam

 

The ISS maintains a strict "no-spam" policy. Your personal information is used only by the ISS. You can be certain that your e-mail address and other personal details will never be passed on to any other party without your permission or be used by the ISS to send you unsolicited promotional material.

Personal Information

We do not collect any personal information from a visitor to our sites unless that visitor explicitly and intentionally provides it. If you are simply browsing our sites, we do not gather any personal information about you.

 

There are two ways in which you may explicitly and intentionally provide us with, and consent to our collection of certain personal information:

 

E-mail Request for Information or Registration for Seminars and Other Events

 

We use links throughout our sites to provide you with the opportunity to contact us via e-mail to ask questions, request information and materials, register or sign up for seminars and events, or provide comments and suggestions. To do so, we may request additional personal information from you, such as your name and telephone number, to help us satisfy your request.

 

Subscription

 

If you choose to subscribe to one of our products or services, we will request certain information from you. Depending on the type of product or service that you request, you may be asked to provide different personal information (See our e-mail alert service and our publications subscription options).

Statistical Information About Your Visit

When you visit our sites, our computers may automatically collect statistics about your visit. This information does not identify you personally, but rather about a visit to our sites. We may monitor statistics such as how many people visit our sites, the user's IP address, which pages people visit on our sites, from which domains our visitors reach our sites, and which browsers people use. We use these statistics about your visit for aggregation purposes only. These statistics are used to help us improve the performance of our web sites.

Use of Cookies

A “cookie” is a piece of information that our web sites send to your browser, which then stores this information on your system. A user will be able to utilise our web sites without cookies. If a cookie is used, our web sites will be able to “remember” information about you and your preferences either until you exit your current browser window (if the cookie is temporary) or until you disable or delete the cookie. Many users prefer to use cookies in order to help them navigate a web site as seamlessly as possible. You should be aware that cookies contain no more information than you volunteer, and they are not able to “invade” your hard drive and return to the sender with personal or other information from your computer.
