What Information Do We Collect and How Do We Use It?

When you send C-Risk.com an e-mail, participate in forums, or submit postings to the C-Risk Network Bulletin Board, you will be asked to complete information that usually includes certain personal information, such as your name, business address, e-mail address, etc. The information you provide in your e-mail, forum or bulletin board submissions, is used specifically to contact you about C-Risk, Inc. or C-Risk.com.

C-Risk.com does not share your e-mail address with its unaffiliated partners. However, we may periodically offer certain well-screened partners the opportunity to send you through e-mail or regular postal mail information about opportunities that we think might interest you.

C-Risk.com does not currently collect any demographic or personal information during the correspondence exchange process, and does not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to anyone. Instead, we use this information to create content and functionality that best serves the needs and interests of our users and to improve the quality of the service we provide you.

C-Risk.com does not currently use cookies to send or track your e-mail address. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on a computer's hard drive that allow monitoring of certain information, such as remembering passwords for you so that you don't have to keep re-entering passwords each time you come back to a specific site. Since C-Risk.com does not generate cookies, your privacy and security are not compromised by the use of cookies to collect personal information.

Please note, however, that advertisers on the C-Risk.com site may also serve you their own cookies when you click through to their sites. We do not control, nor do we have access to, any of the information that they may collect. Of course, you can choose not to accept these cookies by adjusting your browser settings.

In our continued efforts to provide you with comprehensive resources on construction insurance and risk management information, C-Risk.com contains links to certain other sites, such as Amazon.com and Fortune. In some instances, we may share demographic information on our viewers with sites that link to C-Risk.com, but this information is normally shared on an aggregate basis only. Please note that you may be required to register with a site that links to C-Risk.com in order to take advantage of that site's services (for example, ordering a book through Amazon.com that may have been recommended on C-Risk.com).

The Forums and Bulletin Board Areas
