OpenChapter, Inc. has long recognized that individuals with whom we conduct business value their privacy. However, in order to conduct business in this increasingly electronic economy, the collection of personal information is often necessary. It is OpenChapter's goal to balance the benefits of e-commerce with the rights of individuals to prevent the misuse of their personal information. The Collection of Personal Information. In some circumstances, OpenChapter may request personal information such as name, e-mail address, company name or telephone number. Response to such inquiries is strictly voluntary. OpenChapter may use this information for business purposes, such as alerting the user to new products and services, promoting site registration, and assisting with information retrieval. The user may visit our site without divulging any personal information. However, there are areas of this site that require this information, and may not be available to those choosing not to reveal the information requested. Collecting Domain Information. OpenChapter also collects domain information as part of its analysis of the use of this site. This data enables us to become more familiar with which customers visit our site, how often they visit and what parts of the site they visit most often. OpenChapter uses this information to improve its web-based offerings thus improving service to its customers. This information is collected automatically. Use of Cookies.
