There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by TLK Consulting. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by TLK Consulting for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the TLK Consulting Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through TLK Consulting public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: TLK Consulting does not read any of your private online communications.

TLK Consulting encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from TLK Consulting so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information.

TLK Consulting may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

TLK Consulting does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. TLK Consulting may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, TLK Consulting may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.

TLK Consulting keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within TLK Consulting, in order to determine what TLK Consulting services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within TLK Consulting to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

TLK Consulting 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 TLK Consulting or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of TLK Consulting; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of TLK Consulting, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The TLK Consulting 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 TLK Consulting pages, or register with TLK Consulting site or services, a cookie helps TLK Consulting 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 TLK Consulting Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the TLK Consulting 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 TLK Consulting services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

TLK Consulting secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. TLK Consulting secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

TLK Consulting will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. TLK Consulting encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how TLK Consulting is protecting your information.
