Privacy Statement
Cowan Research LC has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm
commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination
practices for this website: eventstudy.com.
We use your IP address to help administer our Web site. Our web site is hosted by Pair Networks and our shopping carts
are hosted by
Google,
Americart
and Authorize.Net,
any of which may also use IP
address information to help diagnose problems with their server on which our web site or
shopping cart resides. When you choose to order online by credit card, we
may track your IP
address in order to help prevent credit card fraud.
This site contains links to other sites. Cowan Research LC is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
Our site uses online forms for customers to request information, products, and
services. We collect visitors' contact information (like their email address) and
financial information (like their credit card numbers). Contact information from the order
form is used to send orders and information about our company to our customers. The
customer's contact information is also used to get in touch with the visitor when
necessary and to register the customer's license and rights, if any, to technical support,
upgrade discounts, or other benefits that may be made available to registered users. Users
may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Financial
information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services.
We ask for and accept credit card information only
through the secure payment functions of Google Checkout, Americart and
Authorize.net, who handle the information in a manner that complies with
merchant operating rules. Cowan Research LC does not print, download, e-mail
or store credit card numbers.
Use of Cookies
When you visit eventstudy.com, you can surf the site anonymously and access important
information without revealing your identity. In order to improve our site, we use
"cookies" to track your shopping cart. A cookie is small amount of data that is
transferred to your browser by a Web server and can only be read by the server that gave
it to you. It functions as your identification card, recording your passwords, purchases,
and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify
you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept
it. If you reject a cookie when ordering, your shopping cart should still be accurate,
because the cart server automatically uses an alternative tracking method when cookies are
blocked.
While CRLC may use cookies to track your shopping cart, and our Web servers
may log the IP/Internet address of your computer, this information does not
identify you personally and you remain anonymous unless you have otherwise provided CRLC
with personal information. Even if you have provided personal information, we do not try
to link it with the IP/Internet address of your computer, with the single exception that
we may do so for credit card security as explained above. We do not use cookies
to keep track of your credit card information.
Surveys
From time to time our site may requests information from users via survey. Participation
in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or
not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact info (like
name and shipping address) and demographic information (such as zip code, age level).
Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use of and
customers' satisfaction with this site.
Security
This site uses the following security
practices to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of
credit card information that you provide. We accept credit card information
only on a secure server page, and we accept credit card information only from users who
are entering the information in a secure browser. We
never store a credit
credit card number on any computer
in our own facilities, or in any non-computer format.
