Privacy Policy
We respect the privacy of our visitors. The following privacy policy establishes how NCORP-SYS will use information gathered from your visit to our site.
If You Visit the NCORP-SYS Web Site
When you browse through any Web site, certain information about your visit can be collected. We automatically collect and temporarily store the following type of information about your visit:
- Domain from which you access the Internet;
- IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to a computer when surfing the Web);
- Operating system and information about the browser used when visiting the site;
- Date and time of your visit;
- Pages you visited;
- Address of the Web site that connected you to the Web site (such as google.com or bing.com); and,
- Demographic and interest data.
We use this information to measure the number of visitors to our site and its various sections and to help make our site more useful to visitors. This information cannot be used to identify you as an individual.
We do not require personal information from our Web site visitors. We collect personally identifiable information only if specifically and knowingly provided by you. We collect information for statistical purposes and may perform analyses of user behavior in order to measure customer interest in the various areas of our site. We will disclose this information to third parties only in aggregate form. We do not give, sell, or transfer any personal information to third parties.
NCORP-SYS uses Matomo to collect the information in the bulleted list above. Matomo gathers information automatically and continuously. No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is collected. NCORP-SYS staff conducts analyses and reports on the aggregated data from Matomo and those reports are only available to NCORP-SYS managers, members of the NCORP-SYS web and analytics teams, and other designated staff who require this information to perform their duties. For your privacy, your IP address is anonymized, meaning the IP address is shortened before the analysis. Anonymizing the IP address means that it is no longer clearly assignable to you.
If you log into NCORP-SYS, our Web site logs may include your e-mail address for the purpose of determining how errors occurred, and communicating with you to resolve problems if necessary. Additionally, the Web site includes fill-in forms that may require personal information. Such information will not be shared with third parties unless specified on the fill-in form or required by law.
