What Information We Gather and Track

There are times when we may need to collect information from you through our Website. This generally involves filling out forms so you can download information, request services, or otherwise make contact with our offices. If you register on our site, sign up for a Webinar, subscribe to any newsletter or email notifications we send occasionally to continue contacts and updates with our customers, etc.., we may request your name, job title, company name, address, email address, and phone number, information about your company and your interest in our products, among other items which may be necessary to provide you a high level of service.

GWPT Series uses various methods to collect certain other kinds of information, including:

  • Referring websites
  • IP & Domain addresses
  • Systems information

None of these methods can be personally identified with you, with the exception of "cookies", which can optionally store information that you may enter in forms on our Website, as described below.

A "cookie" is an element of data that a Website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your system. It can be used to provide you with a tailored user experience. Some GWPT Series pages use cookies. Cookies are used to better personalize the content, banners and promotions that you and other users will see. We may use the information to research and understand how our users' habits in the aggregate are similar or different so that we can enhance your experiences on our website or with our products and services. With your consent, cookies can optionally store information from forms that you fill out on our site so the next time you visit, you do not have to re-enter this information. For example, this would allow you to enter your zip code so the next time you visit, you can automatically see local content from your area. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. GWPT Series does not require that you accept cookies. Some of our business partners (e.g., third-party tracking services) use cookies on our own site. We have no access to, or control over, these cookies.

A "referrer" is the information passed along by a web browser that references the Web URL you linked from, and is automatically gathered by our Web server. This information is used to identify broad demographic trends that may be used to provide information tailored to your interests. You will not be personally identified from this information.
Your computer uses IP addresses every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you. Our Web server automatically gathers them. GWPT Series will not use your IP address to attempt to identify your personal information.

System information we gather includes time, type of Web browser being used, the operating system/platform, and CPU speed. Your Web browser sends this information automatically when you are connected to a Website and is used only for broad demographic statistics. This information is used by GWPT Series to identify broad demographic trends and may be used to provide information appropriate for your computer system. You will not be personally identified from this information.
