This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and conditions posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, SMART collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. SMART’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how SMART’s visitors use its website. From time to time, SMART may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

SMART also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://SMART.com blog posts. SMART only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to SMART’s websites choose to interact with SMART in ways that require SMART to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that SMART gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at https://SMART.com to provide a username and email address.

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
