As a general policy, we do not attempt to automatically collect personal information about users of any PIL web site.

This information is used to improve the performance of the site, enhance the user experience and ensure the satisfaction of site visitors.

The information tracked includes the type of operating system in use, the type of browser used by the visitor, the pages visited and data requested. We use this information internally to analyze site traffic, strictly on an anonymous basis. From time to time PIL may distribute analyses and summary reports about the operation of its web site, each of which may contain anonymous information.

E-mail addresses and other personal information or data are known only when it is voluntarily submitted. Personally identifiable information that is collected in connection with site users is retained by PIL and is not sold or otherwise transferred outside the company unless permission to do so has been requested by PIL or its representatives and given by the individual users.

PIL web sites offer links to other Internet sites. We make every effort to link only to other sites that share a respect for web site users' privacy. However, PIL is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these other sites.

PIL reserves the right to change this policy at any time, and will immediately post a revised and updated policy on all sites affected.
