TIMS is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology
that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy
applies to the TIMS site and governs data collection and usage.
By using the TIMS site, you consent to the data practices described
in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically
collected by TIMS. This information can include: your IP address,
browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This
information is used by TIMS for the operation of the service, to
maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use
of the TIMS site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information
or personally sensitive data through TIMS public message boards,
this information may be collected and used by others. Note: TIMS
does not read any of your private online communications.
TIMS encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites
you choose to link to from TIMS so that you can understand how those
Web sites collect, use and share your information. TIMS is not responsible
for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the TIMS
and TIMS family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
TIMS does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such
as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
TIMS Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice,
only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is
necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process
served on TIMS or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or
property of TIMS; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect
the personal safety of users of TIMS, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The TIMS Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online
experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page
server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the
domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save
you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned
to a specific page. For example, if you personalize TIMS pages, or
register with TIMS site or services, a cookie helps TIMS
to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process
of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses,
and so on. When you return to the same TIMS Web site, the information
you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the TIMS
features that you customized.
You have the ability 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. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience
the interactive features of the TIMS services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
