Information Collected and Stored Automatically
We automatically collect certain information about your visit to Gumatech Web sites. We limit the data collected, to meet specific business needs and to protect your privacy. We may know what path(s) you took on our Web sites, but we don’t know who you are. We do not use this information to identify you personally without your express consent and an authorized purpose.
We automatically collect and store the following information about your visit to an Gumatech Web site:
General log information-Examples of general log information include, but are not limited to: Internet domain (for example, ” xcompany.com” or “yourschool.edu”); Internet Protocol (IP) address; operating system; the browser used to access our Web site; the date and time you accessed our site; and the pages that you visited.
Referral and statistical information where we have links to or from the site you visited. Such data may include aggregate data such as the number of offsite links occurring during a visit to an Gumatech Web page. It may also include specific data, such as the identity of the site which you may have visited immediately before or after our site. We do not use such data to identify you personally.
We use the general log information to help us make our Web sites more useful to visitors. We use it to learn about how locations on our site are being used, what information is of most and least interest, and how we can enhance ease of use by ensuring that our sites can interface with the kinds of technology our visitors use. We also use such statistics to tell us of any possible site performance problems. Except for oversight, law enforcement investigations, or protection of the Gumatech information technology infrastructure as authorized by law, no other attempts are made to identify you or your usage habits.
Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies
What is a Cookie?
When you visit certain Web sites, they send a small piece of information called a “cookie” to your computer along with the Web page.
There are two kinds of cookies:
A Session Cookie is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your computer’s random access memory (RAM). A session cookie is destroyed as soon as you close your browser.
A Persistent Cookie is a line of text that is saved to a file on your hard drive and is called up the next time you visit that Web site. This lets the Web site remember information about your previous visits and use of the Web site. Persistent cookies are generally not used by Gumatech or other Web sites, unless there is a compelling and legitimate reason for their use. If any Gumatech Web page uses a Persistent Cookie, then the Limited Privacy Policy for that Web page will clearly state the purpose and legal authority for such use.
We use Session Cookies in the following manner:
Log-on and log-off process – you do not have to log-on and register to browse our site. If you decide to register with our site to use one of our online services, session cookies help with the log-on and log-off process. The cookies enable us to recognize your log-in ID when you log on so that we do not create a duplicate registration record for you.
Transactions and site usability
We use Session Cookies to improve how you navigate through our Web site and conduct transactions. Session Cookies are used to maintain your online session as you browse over several pages, or to store and enter information on a Web page so that you do not have to re-enter the same information, repetitively. Session Cookies may also be used to collect referral statistics when you click on a link to or from an Gumatech Web page.
Information Collected from Online Forms
Many of our programs and Web sites allow you to use online forms. We will use the information you provide to respond to you or process a request.
Please remember that many of these forms are sent via email and may not be secure against interception across the Internet. They may also remain as a permanent, retrievable record with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If your email communication or online form contains sensitive information, or includes such information as your medical records, drug prescriptions, bank account or social security number, you should send it by surface / government run mail services, unless the Web site Limited Privacy Policy clearly indicates that such communications are appropriately secured for transmission over the Internet.
Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personal information to outside marketers. Information collected via Gumatech Web sites may be shared with employees, contractors, and other service providers as necessary to respond to a request, provide a service, or as otherwise authorized by law. If appropriate, additional information regarding the use and disclosure of information collected on specific Web pages will be posted in the appropriate Limited Privacy Policy for that Web page.
Security
In those instances where we secure your personal information in transit to us over the Internet, and upon our receipt, Gumatech uses industry-standard encryption, including Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The connection icon area on your browser will change to “HTTPS” instead of “HTTP” when this security feature is invoked. Your browser may also display a lock symbol on the task bar at the bottom of your screen to indicate this secure transmission is in place. You should refer to the instructions for your particular Internet browser software to determine how to examine the security certificate from our Web site to verify the security of the connection.
For site security purposes and to ensure that Gumatech Web sites remain available to all users, Gumatech employs software programs to monitor network traffic in order to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. Except for oversight or authorized law enforcement investigations, no other attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits other than those uses identified in this policy.
Unauthorized attempts or acts to either
Gumatech takes the security of all personally identifiable information very seriously. We implement various measures to protect the security and confidentiality of personally identifiable information. Such measures include access controls designed to limit access to personally identifiable information to the extent necessary to accomplish our mission. We also employ various security technologies to protect personally identifiable information stored on our systems. We test our security measures periodically to ensure that they remain operational.

This Web site provides access to other Web sites outside our control and jurisdiction. When you link to these Web sites, you leave our Web site and your communications no longer are protected by our privacy policies. Gumatech is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of non-Gumatech Web sites.

Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose 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. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
