Overview
Virtual First Inc, its subsidiaries and its affiliates (“Virtual First”) are committed to protecting the privacy and security of their users. Virtual First’s goal is to provide you with a personalized website experience that delivers the information, resources and services that are most relevant and helpful to you. In order to achieve this goal, Virtual First sometimes collects information during your visits to understand what differentiates you from other users of Virtual First websites. Virtual First operates under the following set of privacy principles:
-
The only personal information Virtual First obtains about individual users to its websites is that supplied voluntarily by users.
-
In cases when Virtual First may need personal information to provide users with customized content or to inform them about new features or services, users are explicitly asked for that information.
-
Personally identifiable information provided by users (name, e-mail or home address, etc.) will only be disclosed to agent’s action on Virtual First's behalf subject to an agreement ensuring Virtual First's privacy principles and will not be disclosed to non-agent-third party unless users choose that Virtual First may do so, or unless required by law, in conjunction with a government inquiry, or in litigation or dispute resolution.
-
Only statistical non-personal information about Virtual First website users as a group (usage habits, demographics) may be shared with any sponsor, advertiser or partner of Virtual First, unless an appropriate confidentiality agreement is in place.
The following discloses Virtual First’s information gathering and dissemination practices for Virtual First websites. Additional terms and conditions, if any, regarding the collection and use of your information may also be provided to you before you sign up for a particular service.

What Information is Collected
Virtual First collects certain information from its users in three ways: (a) from Virtual First web server logs, (b) with cookies and (c) directly from the user.
(a) IP Addresses (Server Log Information)
An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the internet. All computer identification on the web is conducted with IP addresses, which allow computers and servers to recognize and communicate with each other. Virtual First collects IP addresses in order to conduct system administration, report aggregate information to affiliates, subsidiaries, sponsors, advertisers or partners, and to conduct site analysis.
(b) Cookies
Virtual First uses cookies as described in our cookie policy.
(c) Web Analytics
Virtual First may use Google Analytics to understand Virtual First's site usage. Site usage information is used to help design, develop, and support Virtual First website. To the extent Virtual First uses Google Analytics Google receives and stores Virtual First's contributed site usage information (such as pages accessed), but it does not receive any individually identifiable or sensitive information as a part of this process. If you do not want data collected by Google Analytics, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available on Google's website.
(d) Registration (User-Supplied Information)
Virtual First website registration systems require users to give Virtual First contact information such as their name and e-mail address, and demographic information such as organization and/or role. The user's contact information is used to contact the user when necessary. Users may choose (opt-in) to receive future mailings; see the choice/opt-in section below. Virtual First uses this data to tailor the user's experience at Virtual First website, showing the user content that reflects their stated preferences. This information may be shared with affiliates, subsidiaries, sponsors, advertisers or partners on an aggregate basis, but personally identifiable information will not be disclosed without the user’s prior consent.
