Our Privacy Policy and Our Terms & Conditions

Thank you for vis­it­ing this Web Site and re­view­ing our Priv­acy Pol­icy and our Terms & Con­di­tions. Your priv­acy is im­por­tant, and we do not col­lect per­son­al data about you un­less you choose to pro­vi­de this in­for­ma­tion vol­un­tar­ily via elec­tron­ic mail.

If You Send Personal Information:

You may send us your elec­tron­ic mail ad­dress, or oth­er in­for­ma­tion need­ed to con­tact you on­line. This in­for­ma­tion does not ne­ces­sar­ily re­veal who you are, and we will not link it to your per­sonal iden­tity. We use this in­for­ma­tion to res­pond to your mes­sage and to help us get the in­for­ma­tion you have re­quest­ed. We re­tain your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion, if you re­quest us to do so, only for the pur­pose of dis­tib­ut­ing elec­tron­ic news­let­ters and com­men­tary. You may la­ter have us modi­fy this in­for­ma­tion, but you may not ac­cess or re­move the in­for­ma­tion from our sys­tem your­self. You may cho­ose sim­ply not to pro­vide per­son­al con­tact in­for­ma­tion by opt­ing-out at the point of col­lec­tion. No in­for­ma­tion, in­clud­ing your elec­tron­ic mail ad­d­ress, will be sold or vol­un­tar­ily dis­trib­u­ted to any oth­er en­tity. We may dis­close your in­for­ma­tion if ne­ces­sary to pro­tect our le­gal rights or if the in­for­ma­tion re­lates to ac­tual or threat­en­ed harm­ful con­duct. Dis­clos­ure may be re­quired by law.

How Do We Protect Personal Information?

We follow technical and man­age­ment prac­tices that we be­lieve are rea­son­able un­der the cir­cum­stances to pro­tect the con­fi­den­ti­al­ity, se­cur­ity, and in­teg­rity of in­for­ma­tion stored on our sys­tems, but we do not oper­ate com­plete­ly se­cure Web Sites. For ex­ample, we do not use se­cure pages to col­lect in­for­ma­tion, and we gen­er­al­ly do not store data in en­crypt­ed form.

Children:

The Children’s On­line Priv­acy Pro­tec­tion Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501-6505, pro­tects the on­line pri­vacy and per­son­al in­for­ma­tion of child­ren under age 13. In com­pli­ance with this Act, we do not in­ten­tion­al­ly col­lect any per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able in­for­ma­tion from per­sons un­der 13 years of age. This Web Site is not in­tend­ed for child­ren, and they may use this Web Site only with the di­rect su­per­vis­ion of a par­ent or guardian.

Cookies:

“Cookies” are data files on a Web Site that can be sent to your In­ter­net brow­ser and may be stored on your com­pu­ter. Cook­ies are used to store per­son­al in­for­ma­tion and var­ious as­pects of a user’s “ses­sion” with a Web Site, and they can al­so be used to di­rect ad­ver­tise­ments and pre­pare cus­tom­iz­ed Web pages. We do not send or make use of cookies.

Web Site Searches:

Web site search activity is log­ged by Atomz.com. Atomz.com sear­ch re­ports rank and graph what words and phras­es our vis­it­ors are search­ing for by day, week, and month. Atomz.com re­ports only sear­ch words, phrases, and us­age data; no per­son­al data is re­ported to us.

Your Consent To This Policy:

By accessing this Web Site, you agree to this Pol­icy. This is our en­tire and ex­clus­ive Priv­acy Policy, and it super­cedes any ear­lier ver­sion. We may change it by post­ing a new ver­sion on our Web Site.

Links:

This Web Site pre­sents links to other fed­er­al and pri­vate Web Sites with use­ful in­for­ma­tion on gov­ern­ment con­tracts, pub­lic pro­cure­ment, and ac­qui­si­tion topics. Once you move to an­other Web Site, you are sub­ject to the Priv­acy Policy of the new Web Site.

Platform for Privacy Preferences Initiative (P3P):

The Plat­form for Pri­vacy Pref­er­en­ces Project (P3P), de­vel­oped by the World Wide Web Con­sort­ium, is an in­dus­try stand­ard al­low­ing users a simple, auto­mated way to gain more con­trol over the re­lease of per­sonal in­for­ma­tion to Web sites they visit. P3P-en­abled Web sites make priv­acy prefer­ence in­for­ma­tion avail­able in a stand­ard, mac­hine-read­able for­mat. P3P-enabled brows­ers will “read” this in­for­ma­tion au­to­mati­cal­ly and com­pare it to the user’s own priv­acy prefer­en­ces. This Web Site has been val­i­dat­ed as com­pliant with the stand­ards an­nounced by the World Wide Web Con­sor­tium in the April 16^th, 2002 Platform for Privacy Preferences 1.0 (P3P1.0) Specification.
