PRIVACY POLICYThe Privacy Policy of Conservation Matters It is important to protect your privacy in the online world, and to insist that the websites you deal with respect your privacy. This page summarizes our Privacy Policy and information practices for Conservation Matters Inc. The nature of the internet is such that it passively and automatically collects certain information about a user's traffic patterns, linked to their Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. These are unique Internet "addresses" assigned to all web users by their Internet Service Providers (ISP). IP addresses are automatically logged by web servers. While the IP address does not identify an individual on its face, it may with the cooperation of the ISP be used to locate and identify an individual using the web. The IP address is considered personal information because it is an identifying number, and IP addresses are therefore protected by most privacy legislation. It is the policy of Conservation Matters Incorporated not to collect personal information about you or your company unless you choose to send us an e-mail, in which you voluntarily provide your name and contact information. This information is protected under the Privacy Act and will only be used for the specific purpose for which it is has been collected, and will not be disclosed to any third party, except with your consent, for purposes such as tracking suspected intrusions or the sources of a computer virus, or as required by law.

As you navigate the site, this unique alphanumeric text string is read back to our web server, allowing us to generate an anonymous "click trail" profile of your visit. Our use of session cookies ensures your online privacy and security. Here's why:
