IGCE understands individuals' concerns regarding confidentiality and takes seriously its obligations with respect to all information it gathers. This Privacy Policy outlines how IGCE deals with Personal Information.
1.2 Internet Privacy Policy
It is IGCE's policy to fully comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws. This IGCE Internet Privacy Policy ("Policy") sets forth the steps IGCE takes in protecting the privacy of personal information obtained on our Internet sites.
This Privacy Policy applies, in general, to all internet sites operated by or on behalf of IGCE and its subsidiaries ("IGCE Internet Sites").
1.3 Web Site Privacy Statements
Although this Policy applies to all IGCE Internet Sites generally, each IGCE Internet site has a different purpose and different features. If additional or different disclosures are required with respect to a specific IGCE Internet site, we will provide those disclosures on that site itself or in a separate web site privacy statement ("Web Site Privacy Statement") posted on that site. Each individual disclosure or Web Site Privacy Statement supplements and amends this Policy, but only with respect to the IGCE Internet Site on which it is posted.
1.4 Links to Third Party Internet Sites
IGCE Internet sites may contain links to Internet sites that are not operated by IGCE. These links are provided as a service and do not imply any endorsement of the activities or content of these sites, nor any association with their operators. IGCE does not control these Internet sites and is not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices. We urge you to review the privacy policy posted on web sites you visit before using the site or providing personal information.
2. WHY IGCE COLLECTS PERSONAL INFORMATION
2.1 Nature of Information
The information IGCE collects in most cases relates to Customers but can relate to suppliers and other parties we deal with (for the purposes of this Privacy Policy all such people are described as ("Customers"). Information is gathered for a range of purposes, including the provision of ongoing Customer support and the compiling of Customer databases to enable us to more accurately market our goods and services. The type of information we collect may include such things as contact details (name, physical and e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc. ), demographic information (such as zip code, age or income level), financial information (such as account or credit card numbers), buying habits, opinions, product preferences and transactional details. We may also collect the Internet Protocol address and e-mail address of visitors to our website, the e-mail addresses of those who post messages to a bulletin board (if applicable), and the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail. IGCE treats all information which is collected and identifiable as relating to an individual as Personal Information. It is this information which is described as "Personal Information" for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
In addition to Personal Information, our web servers automatically collect website usage information from Customers when they visit our website. Website usage information is anonymous information about our visitors that describes how our website is used and navigated, including the number and frequency of visitors and subscribers to each web page, their actions taken during visits to the site, and the length of their stays. Website usage information does not contain personally identifiable information.
2.2 Collection of Information
Where practical, Customers of IGCE may deal with IGCE on an anonymous basis. However, as a provider of a wide range of services, IGCE frequently finds that it is necessary or desirable to collect Personal Information during the course of transactions. Personal Information may be collected about Customers via the following means:
2.2.1. Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser.
IGCE collects information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser. This information typically includes the IP address of your Internet service provider, the name of your operating system (such as Macintosh® or Windows®) and the name and version of your browser (such as Internet Explorer® or Netscape®). The information we receive depends on the settings on your web browser.
The information provided by your browser does not identify you personally. We use this information to create statistics that help us improve our sites and make them more compatible with the technology used by our Internet visitors.
2.2.2. Information Collected By Placing a "Cookie" On Your Computer
IGCE may obtain information about you by installing a "tag" on your computer's hard drive. This tag is known as a "cookie. "
All of our IGCE Internet sites use "session cookies. " A session cookie is used to tag your computer with a computer-generated, unique identifier when you access our site. A session cookie does not identify you personally and expires after you close your browser. We use session cookies to collect statistical information about the ways visitors use our sites – which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page. We analyze this information (known as "clickstream data") in statistical form to better understand our visitors' interests and needs to improve the content and functionality of our sites.
Some IGCE Internet sites also use "persistent cookies. " These cookies do not expire when you close your browser; they stay on your computer until you delete them. By assigning your computer a unique identifier, we are able to create a database of your previous choices and preferences, and in situations where these choices or preferences need to be collected again, they can be provided by us automatically, saving you time and effort. For example, after you make a purchase, if you decide to make another purchase, your shipping address will have been retained and will only need to be confirmed. If an IGCE Internet Site uses "persistent cookies" we will notify you in the Privacy Statement posted on that site.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit an IGCE Internet Site, you may be unable to use all of the features of the Site if your browser rejects our cookies.
2.2.3. Information You Knowingly and Voluntarily Provide
IGCE collects the information you knowingly and voluntarily provide when you use an IGCE Internet site, for example, the information you provide when you sign up to receive email alerts, when you complete a survey, when you become a member, or when you ask us a question or email us with feedback. In many cases this information will be Personal Information.
IGCE uses this information for the purposes for which you provide it. For example, if you provide your e-mail address when you sign up to receive e-mail alerts, we use your e-mail address to deliver the e-mail alerts you request.
We may also use the information we collect on IGCE Internet Sites for various business purposes such as customer service, fraud prevention, market research, improving our products and services, and providing you with information and offers we believe may be of interest to you. We may also remove all the personally identifiable information and use the rest for historical, statistical or scientific purposes.
2.2.4. Ownership of Information Collected on the IGCE Internet Sites.
All Personal Information collected on IGCE Internet Sites will remain the property of IGCE.

- (c) the collection is necessary to lessen a serious or imminent threat to the health or safety of a person; or
- (d) the collection of the information is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of a legal claim.
2.4 Customer Consent

2.5 What happens if Personal Information is not provided
Where relevant, IGCE will endeavor to make Customers aware that IGCE may not be able to provide a particular service to them if Personal Information is not provided upon request.
