Usage
Information
For each

concerning
the usage of
our website
by that
visitor,
including
the
visitor’s
Internet
domain
and/or IP
address,
information
concerning
the
visitor’s
browser, and
other
access-related
information.
We also may
assemble
aggregate
information
(i.e.,
information
obtained by
compiling
information
from many
different
visitors) as
to which
pages
visitors
access or
visit on our
Web site.
This
information
is used to
analyze our

utility, and
to enhance
the areas
and
functionality
within our
site that
appear to be
of interest
to various
users.
Also, we may
use
"cookies"
or similar
tools, which
are
typically
small pieces
of
information
that are
delivered
and received
by our
website
servers and
stored by
your
internet
browser on
your
computer's
hard drive.
The
information
stored and
transmitted
by these
tools may be
used to
facilitate
the
functionality
of our
website, to
learn about
your
preferences
and internet
session
information,
to provide a
more
relevant
online
experience,
to study the
efficacy of
marketing
campaigns,
and for
other
legitimate
website
operation
and
marketing
purposes
(although we
do not use
any of this
information
for
behavioral,
targeted
advertising
purposes).

about the

Personal
Information
We receive
and collect
personally
identifiable
information
– such as
name,
telephone
numbers,
e-mail
addresses,
and postal
addresses –
from
individuals
when they (i)
submit
inquiries or
requests to
us, (ii)
become
registered
users of our
website,
(iii)
participate
in our
research
activities,
(iv) sign up
to receive
newsletters
or bulletins
from us, or
(v) choose
to provide
information
to us for
some other
reason. Any
personally
identifiable
information
you provide
may be used
by us, our
service
providers,
or our
clients in
connection
with
providing
services to
you and in
order to
process any
requests or
inquiries
that you
initiate.
While you
can choose
not to
provide your
personal
information,
that
decision may
limit our
ability to
contact you
and our
ability to
provide
services to
you. Also,
please note
that if you
have
provided us
with a
postal
address, an
e-mail
address, or
a telephone
number, a
representative
from Market
Intelligence,
or from one
of our
clients, may
contact you
unless you
have
requested
that we put
you on one
of our
do-not-contact
lists.
Research
Information
By being
part of this
Ci
Technology
Database,
your
company's
profile
provides an
accurate
snapshot of
your
business's
use of
various
technologies.
This
snapshot
helps
high-tech
companies
communicate
more
intelligently
with your
company's
representatives,
and to
target
product and
service
information
appropriately.
This profile
also helps
to reduce
waste in
communication,
and to help
technology
marketers
respect your
time, and
that of your
business.
We want
companies to
welcome our
calls,
updating the
database,
since it
helps keep
the
marketplace
most
informed. As
participation
in our
database is
completely
voluntary,
you have a
choice not
to receive
such calls
and we will
honor your
business
choice not
to receive
our market
research
calls. In
addition,
you may
choose that
we contact
you only in
a particular
manner,
including as
follows:
-
We will
honor your
choice to
reschedule
an
interview
for a
better
time. We
will
return a
call at a
later
time, at
your
choosing:
either
within a
week or
two, or
within a
few
months'
time,
seeking a
more
convenient
time for
you to
talk.
-
We will
honor your
choice not
to be
called at
all for
future
interviews,
and will
seek to
speak to a
colleague
at your
site
instead.
-
We will
honor your
business'
choice or
policy not
to
participate
in such
market
research
interviews
at the
site
level. In
some
instances,
where you
direct, we
will
contact a
corporate
headquarters
rather
than you
or a
colleague
at your
divisional
office or
plant.
To express
any such
preferences,
please
contact us
using the
any of the
methods
listed
below. We
seek your
help and
understanding
here, and
appreciate
your
comments.
Our goal is
to keep the
Ci
Technology
Database a
well
respected
data source
for both
those
businesses
profiled in
the database
and those
businesses
that use the
database for
market
research and
marketing
purposes.
Supplemental
Information
We may
obtain
personally
identifiable
and other
information
about you
from our
parent,
sister, and
subsidiary
companies
and/or
business
partners and
add it to
information
that you
have
previously
provided to
us in order
to serve you
better. From
time to
time, we may
compare our
contact
lists to
lists
received
from our
parent,
sister, and
subsidiary
companies or
third party
service
providers to
try to avoid
sending you
unwanted,
unnecessary
or
duplicative
messages.
We may also
utilize and
incorporate
information
from other
sources to
update and
supplement
information
concerning
you. All
such
combined,
updated, and
supplemented
information
will be
handled
consistent
with this
Privacy
Policy.
Other
Matters
Please note
that Market
Intelligence
does not
currently
use ad
serving
companies to
place banner
ads from
other firms
on our site,
so there is
no tracking
by these
third-party
companies
from any
banner ads,
bulletin
boards or
other
interactive
venues on
this site.
Information
Provided To
Us, Stays
with Us,
Except for
Intended
Research and
Marketing
Purposes
The
information
we collect
regarding
you, or your
company, may
be shared
with other
organizations
so that they
may contact
you
regarding
products or
services
that they
think may be
of interest
to you. We
also may
share your
information
to process
requests
initiated by
you.
However,
information
provided
about you or
your company
to Market
Intelligence
will not be
sold,
transferred,
or traded to
third
parties if
you instruct
us not to
share such
information
using an
applicable
Internet
link or any
of the
contact
methods
below.
Although our
research
data is
collected,
in part, for
relevant
industry
marketing
purposes,
Market
Intelligence
seeks to
honor any
express
“opt-in” or
“opt-out”
choices that
you may
make.
In order to
operate our
website and
provide our
services, we
may provide
personally
identifiable,
aggregate,
and other
information
to third
parties that
provide
services for
us,
including
services
such as
shipping,
payment
processing,
database
management,
and Internet
services.
We endeavor
to require
such
third-party
service
providers to
confirm that
their
privacy
practices
are
consistent
with this
Privacy
Policy. On
occasion, we
may also
share
personally
identifiable
and other
information
concerning
you with our
affiliates
(such as a
parent or
sister
company, or
a subsidiary
of our
company)
in
furtherance
of our
operations
(and those
of our
affiliates)
as well as
any requests
that you may
make (such
as
do-not-contact
requests).
In the event
of a merger
or
acquisition
of our
company, the
sale of
substantially
all of its
assets
related to
the
operation of
our website,
or other
change of
corporate
control, all
information
concerning
website
visitors and
registered
website
users would
be
transferred
to or
controlled
by the
surviving or
successor
entity.
Such
information
would remain
subject to
the
principles
and
guidelines
set forth in
our Privacy
Policy.
We also will
transfer
personal and
non-personal
information
when we
believe the
transfer is
necessary to
comply with
the law, to
protect our
rights and
our safety,
or to
protect the
rights and
safety of
anyone
else. In
addition, we
may provide
personally
identifiable
information
to credit
bureaus or
collection
agencies if
we are
permitted or
required to
do so by
law.
