Your privacy and the security of your personal information are very important to us. This Privacy Statement governs the IHM Web Site and explains how we may collect and/or use your personal information, how we protect such information, and the choices you have concerning the use of such information. Please read this Privacy Statement carefully. Note that unless specifically stated, we do not sell, share, license, trade, or rent your personal information to others.

General
Many of the ways in which you interact with the IHM Web site (the "Site") allow us to learn about you. We collect and store statistics and other information about the online activities of our visitors on an aggregated (collective) basis. For example, we track the number of people who view each page to learn which features are the most popular. In most instances, we do not obtain personally identifiable information about you.

In certain instances we may collect personally identifiable information. When we do collect this information, you have the option of choosing whether or not to reveal it to us.

Personally Identifiable Information
Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you. Such information may include your name, address, email address, telephone number, birth date, billing and credit card information. We may request Personally Identifiable Information from you when you register on our Site, purchase products online, or perform other online activities. In any case, we collect Personally Identifiable Information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. Unless you give us permission to do so, we do not sell, share, license, trade or rent your Personally Identifiable Information other than as specified in this Privacy Statement.

You do not have to provide us with any Personally Identifiable Information to visit our Site. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, you may not be able to visit all sections of this Site. In addition, you may not be able to purchase products online.

Information Disclosure
We do not sell your email addresses or your name and personal demographic information to mass marketers. We use your information on an aggregated basis to do such things as operate our Site, enhance our Site, and sell and deliver advertising. We may also use this data, both aggregated and personally identifiable, to enhance your online experience by displaying content and marketing messages of interest to you. We disclose aggregated information about our Site to third parties.

Some online activities you choose to do necessarily lead to disclosure of your Personally Identifiable Information to third parties. In some situations, we share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties that provide services to our Site in order to enhance the functionality available to you as part of our Site.

Cookies and Other Tracking Methods
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our Site. We may use cookies, or, in a limited number of cases, IP addresses, for a number of reasons. First, cookies allow you to store a password without having to constantly re-enter it. Second, cookies can also help us to tailor our Site or a marketing message to better match your needs and interests. Third, cookies allow us to better understand how users use our Site, which in turn helps us focus our resources on features that are most popular with our users.

Note that you are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our Site may not work properly if you do. (Most browsers offer instructions on how to do so in the "Help" section of the toolbar.)

Other Sites
Please note that if you provide any information on your own to parties who provide service to us or to any other Sites you encounter on the Internet (even if these Sites are branded with our branding), different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions before disclosing information to third parties.

Limits to Privacy
Although your privacy is important to us, we cannot ensure your private communications and other Personally Identifiable Information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, in the event we need to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we can (and by use of our Site you authorize us to) disclose information about you to private entities, law enforcement, or other government officials as we, in our discretion or as may be required under law, believe necessary or appropriate.

Security
We use industry-standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your Personal Identifiable Information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers where appropriate. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet. IHM encourages you to learn as much as you can about your privacy on the Internet.

Changes
We may change, move, or delete portions of, or may add to, our Site from time to time and without notice. Your use of our Site following any such change constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by the terms as changed.
