Privacy Notice – Online Supplement

This section describes our practices regarding information we receive
about you during visits to this web site. The amount and type of

Normal Web Site Usage

You can visit our web site to read product and company information,
or use our on-line tools without revealing any personal information. The
only information we collect and store during normal web site usage is
the name and address of your Internet service provider, the web site you
last visited, the pages you request, the date and time of those requests
and the number of visits you made to our website. We use this

services or to analyze, store, or aggregate the information. It may also
be shared with other third parties, working with us to improve our
services or our website. During normal web site usage, we do not collect
or store personally identifiable information such as name, mailing
address, email address, phone number or Social Security number.

On-Line Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

Occasionally, we will request personally identifiable information in
order to provide the web site visitor with a service or correspondence
(e.g., promotions and mailed brochures). This information, such as name,
mailing address, email address, type of request, and possibly additional
information, is collected and stored in a manner appropriate to the
nature of the request as determined by us and is used to fulfill your
request. Whenever we request such information, we will clearly explain
how it will be used. If you tell us that the information should not be
used as a basis for further contact, we will respect your request. The
information you provide is used by us to improve the services we provide
you. This information may also be provided to agencies for use on our
behalf in accordance with our Privacy Notice. However, it is never
provided or sold to any other company for that company’s independent
use.

Please note that our website may provide links to third party sites
not controlled by us. We suggest that you check the specific Privacy
Notices of any site before providing any personally identifiable
information.

Electronic Mail Sent to Us That Contains Personal Information

Internet users may decide to send us personally identifying
information, for example, in an electronic mail message containing
information about your account with us. We will only use this
information to identify the user as our customer and to determine how to
respond to the electronic mail. We will use this information for the
purpose identified in the email message and to enhance our understanding
of you in order to improve our services to you.

Internet Services

To use our Internet services, such as online account access, we
require a certain amount of personally identifying information (e.g.,
name, Social Security number, account number and other applicable
information) we can use to verify you as our customer. We use this to
identify and access data in the existing relationship we have with you
in order to provide you with the requested services. We request email
addresses as an alternate means of contacting you. Providing your email
address is optional, except when you request an Internet delivered
service, then it is necessary for us to have your email address in order
to honor your request. We may also use this information to enhance our

What Are Cookies

A “cookie” is a small line of text that is stored within your browser
when you visit a cookie-enabled website. As you browse the Web,
cookie-enabled sites will send cookies to your browser, along with
pages. Your browser probably has options that will let you control
whether the browser accepts cookies, rejects cookies, or notifies you
each time a cookie is sent to you.

If your browser is set to reject cookies, cookie-enabled websites
will not recognize you when you return. This provides you with
anonymity, but it also makes it very difficult to offer you customized
services. It is also less secure than using cookies, because all of your
specific data must be sent to the website each time you view a page.
Accepting cookies means your private data can stay at the Web server,
and the only information transmitted over the Internet is your ID
cookie.

If your browser is set to accept cookies, any cookies that are sent
to your browser are stored in your computer for a period of time. There
are a few different types of cookies. A “session” cookie is stored only
in your computer’s working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing
session. When you close all of your browser’s windows, or when you shut
down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever. A “permanent”
cookie is stored on your computer’s hard drive until a specified date,
which could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Permanent
cookies stay on your computer until either a) they expire, b) they are
overwritten with newer cookies, c) you manually remove them. We use
permanent cookies to supply visitors to our site with a customized
experience. These cookies do not involve personally identifiable
information. We also use session cookies to customize your experience
during a session, to aid in your navigation and use of the site, to
develop generic web site metrics and other similar uses.
