SurfWax is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This SurfWax Statement of Privacy applies to SurfWax's family of Web sites and governs data collection and usage at all SurfWax sites and services. Please read the complete SurfWax Statement of Privacy below to learn additional details about how some of SurfWax's sites and services protect your personal information.

Only your e-mail address, user name, and password are kept by SurfWax as part of your operational record. SurfWax does not retain any other personally identifiable information, such as your home or work address or telephone number, ZIP code, age, gender. SurfWax uses indirect links to retrieve your Preferences, Account information, SearchSets and any information stored in your InfoCubby™, so your Name is not directly associated with your data. SurfWax does not collect or associate sensitive data, such as your race, religion, or political affiliations, with personally identifiable information. SurfWax takes precautions to segregate any sensitive data you may provide on SurfWax sites and services from your Name.

We do automatically collect very limited information about your computer hardware and software such as your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by SurfWax for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the SurfWax Web sites.

SurfWax will not sell, rent, lease, share, or otherwise distribute your Name, e-mail address, or any information we may have about you or your hardware/software to any third parties.

The SurfWax Web sites use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide convenience features to save you time. For example, if you personalize SurfWax's pages, or register with SurfWax sites or services, a cookie helps SurfWax to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information. When you return to the same SurfWax Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the SurfWax features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the SurfWax services or Web sites you visit.

Thank you for using SurfWax -- we are committed to protecting your privacy while providing you with the best search and knowledge management experience.
