Introduction
The Broadband Expo (referred to below as “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to ensuring your privacy and protecting the security of your personal information. This privacy statement covers our web site— www.thebroadbandexpo.com. It does not cover third-party sites linking to www.thebroadbandexpo.com or third-party sites to which we link. Your use of and/or registration on any aspect of the Website will constitute your agreement to this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy may be modified from time to time; the date of the most recent revisions will appear on this page, so check back often. Continued access of the Website by you will constitute your acceptance of any changes or revisions to the Privacy Policy.

Collecting Personal Information
You can access www.thebroadbandexpo.com without providing us with any personal information. We do, however, request personal information when you communicate with us through email, utilize our information resources, or utilize other services that may from time to time be made available to you through www.thebroadbandexpo.com. These activities are collectively referred to in this policy as “Services.”

Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
We also collect information that, alone, cannot be used to identify you (referred to as "non-personal information") through this website. We may use this non-personal information in aggregate form for product and service development, for market analysis, and to understand how to improve the quality of our websites. In doing so, we may provide it to third parties. Examples of types of non-personal information that we may collect include gender, age, survey responses, IP addresses, and data stored in cookie files and captured by pixel tags. We describe IP addresses, cookies, and other tracking technology in more detail below:

Internet Protocol Addresses. An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. This number does not identify your name, e-mail address or other Personal Information. If you request information from this website, our server will enter your IP address into a log. We use this information to measure site traffic, to help us to understand how people are using our website and to hopefully improve your online experience.
Cookies and other Tracking Technology. This website may gather certain non-personal information through the use of "cookies," web logs, and pixel tags/web beacons to identify a visitor as the visitor navigates the website. Your web browser permits us to put information, including session-based IDs and/or persistent cookies, on your computer’s hard drive in order to recognize your computer.

"Cookies" are small text files that recognize repeat visitors, facilitate ongoing access to some sites, and allow sites to understand how and when pages are visited and by how many people. Visitors who are concerned about the use of cookie technology may opt to enable a feature in their browser software, if any, that will erase cookies, block all cookies, or warn the user before cookies are stored or exchanged. Please be aware, however, that some parts of this website may no longer function properly if cookies are disabled.
We may work with third parties to put cookies on your hard drive. Before we enter into arrangements with third parties, however, we require these third parties to enter into an agreement with us that they will comply with our Privacy Policy.
Usually cookies contain no personally identifiable information. However, if you have provided us with personal information, we may correlate this information with the cookies or other tracking technology placed on your computer by our web site in order to offer an improved website experience for you.

We also may use tracking technologies such as pixel tags. Pixel tags, also known as web beacons, function similarly to cookies. A pixel tag is an invisible, one pixel-sized piece of code which transmits certain information to our servers. They are placed on key pages, tools, and areas of our website. When a visitor requests/visits/clicks on anything that includes a pixel tag, the information about the visitor’s action is recorded in a web log. This is done in order to track a visitor’s usage across various web pages on our website.
We may also use pixel tags in our HTML-based e-mails in order to determine if e-mails were opened and replied to or forwarded. This information will be used only in aggregate for research to improve site content and usability. You can disable pixel tags by changing your browser settings to omit images or through commercially available software packages.

Use Of User Information
We do use the information we gather for internal purposes, such as communicating with you, and for ensuring that our web site provides information that is responsive to the needs of our users. Available log records, account information, and all data stored on our servers may be accessed by our system administrators. In the event that we are required by law (including a court order) to disclose the information you submit, we will provide you with notice (unless we are prohibited) that a request for your information has been made so that you may object to the disclosure. We will send this notice by email to the address you have given us. We prefer to independently object to over-broad requests for access to information about users of our site, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to do this in all cases. If you do not challenge the disclosure request yourself, we may be legally required to turn over your information. We do not sell or trade any personal information about our customers, prospects, or partners to any third parties.

Security
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we employ reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. We reserve the right to change the methods we employ to protect your information at any time as we deem desirable to keep pace with ever evolving security threats.
