Welcome
This site is owned by Versus Technology, Inc ("Versus"). At Versus,
we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy is designed
to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure
of information that you may provide via this site. Please be sure to read
this entire Privacy Policy before using, or submitting information, to this
site. This site is governed solely by applicable Federal and State laws
and governmental regulations in the United States. Use of this site constitutes
your consent to application of such laws and regulations and to our Privacy
Policy.
Active Information Collection
This site actively collects information both by asking you specific questions
and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail, and/or
feedback forms. You can travel through most of our site without giving
us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information
to provide services that you request, and this statement of privacy explains
data collection and use in those situations. Some of the information that
you submit may be personally identifiable information (e.g., e-mail address).
You will be informed in each instance what information is required and
what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through the web site, certain information can be passively
collected using various technologies and means.
This site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP Address is
a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so
you can access the Internet. IP addresses are typically not linked to
personally identifiable information. We use your IP address to analyze
trends, track user's movements, gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use and administer and improve the site.
A "cookie" is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Cookies help the site remember
information about you and your preferences.
"Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are
erased once you exit your web browser window or otherwise turn your computer
off. Session cookies are used to improve navigation on web sites and to
collect aggregate statistical information. This site uses session cookies
in connection with the use of your password account on Versustech.com.
If you choose to not have your browser accept cookies from the Versustech.com
Web site, you will be able to view the text on the screens, however you
will not be able to access the password protected areas of this site.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs,
invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the
web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related
to the visitor's computer. This technology tells us how many visitors
clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics) on the Versustech.com
web pages. We do not use this technology to access your personally identifiable
information on Versustech.com; it is a tool we use to compile aggregated
statistics about Versustech.com web site usage. We do not allow other
companies to place clear gifs on our site.
"Navigational data" ("log files," "server logs,"
and "clickstream" data) are used for system management, to improve
the content of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate
information to visitors. This site uses navigational data.
Disclosure of Information
We may disclose your personally identifiable information to other Versus
affiliates worldwide that agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy
Policy. In addition, we may disclose your personally identifiable information
to third parties, located in the United States and/or any other country,
but only (i) to contractors we use to support our business (e.g., fulfillment
services, technical support, delivery services, and financial institutions),
in which case we will require such third parties to agree to treat it
in accordance with this Privacy Policy; (ii) in connection with the sale,
assignment, or other transfer of the business of this site to which the
information relates, in which case we will require any such buyer to agree
to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy; or (iii) where required
by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations.
In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired through
this site that is not in personally identifiable form.

complete, please contact us as specified below. We will take reasonable
steps to update or correct personally identifiable information in our
possession that you have previously submitted via this site.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information
as you transmit your information from your computer to our site and to
protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure,
alteration, or destruction. Your data is stored in password-controlled
servers with limited access. You should keep in mind that no Internet
transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail
sent to or from this site may not be secure, and you should therefore
take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.
Moreover, where you use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access
features on this site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.
