Privacy
Armstrong is respectful about the privacy concerns of the visitors to its sites on the Internet. Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. As a general policy, no personal information is automatically collected from visitors to this site. However, certain non-personal information about visitors is recorded by the standard operation of Armstrong Internet servers. This information is primarily used to provide an enhanced online experience for the visitor. Information tracked includes the type of browser being used by the visitor (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system (e.g., Macintosh, Windows) in use by the visitor and the domain name of the visitor's Internet service provider (e.g., www.zoominternet.net, etc.).
With this information, Web pages optimized for a particular visitor's computer are automatically made available to that visitor. Other use of this information may include internal review of the number of visitors to this site, but only in aggregate and in a non-personally-identifiable form. E-mail addresses and other personally identifiable data about the visitor to this site are only known to Armstrong when submitted voluntarily by the user. Armstrong affiliated Web sites that are linked to this site and that engage in any additional information practices will explain those practices at that site.
Use of IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers (the main traffic computers that deliver Web pages) automatically identify your computer by its IP address. Armstrong collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information, and to audit the use of our site. When guests request pages from Armstrong sites, our servers log the guests' IP address. We do not normally link the IP address to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's session will be logged but the user remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms of Service or to protect our service, site, customers, or others, or if requested by law enforcement officials.
Some services within Armstrong mywire, such as certain message boards, may display IP addresses along with the message poster's name and message. Please review each service prior to use and only uses those that disclose information you are comfortable with sharing.
