This privacy statement explains the procedures followed by HIGHLINE DATA in collecting and using information regarding visitors to this Web site and advises you what information might be shared with third parties. The type of information collected will vary depending upon the portions of the site which you visit and, in certain instances, which you voluntarily disclose.

1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Basic Viewing

If you read or download any pages on a HIGHLINE DATA site, we automatically collect and store:

the requested Web page,

the status of the request (whether it was successful or not),

the date and time you access our site,

the Internet address of the Web site or the domain name of the computer from which you accessed our site,

the type and version of the Web browser, and

the operating system of the computer running the Web browser.

In addition to using this information to send the requested site pages to your computer, we use this information (i) to monitor the performance of our Web server and diagnose system problems and to otherwise administer our system and (ii) to provide collective demographic and user profile data on visitors to our site.

Any usage of on-line chat or newsgroup sessions is considered a public usage and you assume responsibility for any information or content which you submit.

E-Mail Users

If you send us an e-mail or respond to the Contact Us section, in addition to the general visitor information, we also will record your e-mail address and any other personal information included with your message. We will use this information to respond to your message and may add your address to an e-mail distribution list used to announce new products or to update the status of other products or otherwise contact you for marketing purposes.

2. SHARING INFORMATION
Basic Viewing

For visitors who only read or download pages from a HIGHLINE DATA site, no individual identifying data is shared outside of HIGHLINE DATA or its providers. We may disclose or sell collective demographic and user profile data with third parties.

E-Mail Users

Parties who send us an e-mail or respond to the Contact Us section may be included in one or more HIGHLINE DATA customer database. This data may be shared or sold to third parties, unless you request that we not do so. (See the Choice/Opt-Out section below.)

3. CHOICE/OPT-OUT
Users who do not wish HIGHLINE DATA to share customer data information with third parties may request that their name not be shared either by so indicating when registering at this site or submitting an on-line order or by contacting us later to ask that their name be deleted from any such shared lists. This can be done by contacting HIGHLINE DATA by any of the means given under the heading CHANGE/MODIFY. Also, HIGHLINE DATA customers who do not wish to receive future communications on HIGHLINE DATA products or services may contact us by those same means to have your name deleted from HIGHLINE DATA customer lists. Such changes normally will be effective with list usages beginning 10 business days after we receive your request, although in some cases it may take longer. This will not affect lists used or shared before the changes are entered.

4. COOKIES
A "cookie" is a small data file that is sent to your browser when you access a web site. HIGHLINE DATA cookies will contain a unique user ID that tracks the pages you have visited. This user ID is used only for the operation of the cookie and is not provided to any third party. A cookie file cannot read other data from your hard disk or read cookie data created by other sites. HIGHLINE DATA uses cookies primarily to facilitate your visit through our sites and to help us improve our sites. HIGHLINE DATA also will use cookie data in operating its on-line ordering and product demo functions as well as in granting access to secure pages.

If you prefer not to receive cookies from HIGHLINE DATA sites, you should set your browser to alert you before accepting cookies or to otherwise block cookies. You do not have to have cookies turned on to use most areas of a HIGHLINE DATA site. However, you will not be able to view product samples or demos or to order on-line or use various other functions.

5. LINKS
As a convenience for our users, HIGHLINE DATA sites may contain links to third party sites. (This includes links through advertisements.) These sites are not under the control of HIGHLINE DATA and are not covered by HIGHLINE DATA’s privacy policy. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of that new site. (Check the URL in the location bar on your Web browser.)

6. SECURITY
HIGHLINE DATA is committed to taking commercially reasonable steps to protect any individual identifying information that you provide to us. We use industry standard secure shopping tools, including CyberCash™ and Verisign™ technology.
