The policy of SHOE Internationalis to respect the privacy of all web site
visitors to the extent permitted by law. This online privacy statement is
intended to inform you of the ways in which this web site collects information,
the uses to which that information will be put, and the ways in which we will
protect any information you choose to provide us.
There are four types of information that this site may collect during your
visit: network traffic logs, web visit logs, cookies, and information
voluntarily provided by you.
Network Traffic Logs
In the course of ensuring network security and consistent service for all
users, SHOE International employs software programs to do such things as
monitor network traffic, identify unauthorized access or access to nonpublic
information, detect computer viruses and other software that might damage our
computers or the network. In the course of such monitoring, these programs may
detect such information as e-mail headers, addresses from network packets, and
other information. Information from these activities is used only for the
purpose of maintaining the security and performance of theSHOE network and
computer systems. Personally identifiable information from these activities is
not released to external parties without your consent unless required by law.
Web Visit Logs
SHOE International web sites routinely collect and store information from
online visitors to help manage those sites and improve service. This
information includes the pages visited on the site, the date and time of the
visit, the internet address (URL or IP address) of the referring site, the
domain name and IP address from which the access occurred, the version of
browser used, the capabilities of the browser, and search terms used on our
search engines. This site makes no attempt to identify individual visitors
from this information: any personally identifiable information is not released
to external parties without your consent unless required by law.
Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information stored by your web browser on behalf of a
web site and returned to the web site on request. This site may use cookies
for two purposes: to carry data about your current session at the site from
one web page to the next, and to identify you to the site between visits. If
you prefer not to receive cookies, you may turn them off in your browser, or
may set your browser to ask you before accepting a new cookie. Some pages may
not function properly if the cookies are turned off. Unless otherwise notified
on this site, we will not store data, other than for these two purposes, in
cookies. Cookies remain on your computer, and accordingly we neither store
cookies on our computers nor forward them to any external parties. Unless
otherwise notified on this site, we do not use cookies to track your movement
among different web sites and do not exchange cookies with other entities.
Information Voluntarily Provided by You
In the course of using this web site, you may choose to provide us with
information to help us serve your needs. For example, you may send us
electronic mail (through a mailer or a web form) to request information or you
may sign up for a membership. Any personally identifiable information you send
us will be used only for the purpose indicated. Requests for information will
be directed to the appropriate staff to respond to the request, and may be
recorded to help us update our site to better respond to similar requests. We
will not sell, exchange or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable
information, except to the extent required by law. We do not retain the
information longer than necessary for normal operations. Each web page
requesting information discloses the purpose of that information. If you do
not wish to have the information used in that manner, you are not required to
provide it.
External Links
SHOE International Network web sites and subsites may provide links to other World
Wide Web sites or resources. We do not control these sites and resources, do
not endorse them, and are not responsible for their availability, content, or
delivery of services. In particular, external sites are not bound by the SHOE
Internationals online privacy policy; they may have their own policies or none
at all.
