SRTC is dedicated to maintaining high standards of confidentiality
with respect to information entrusted to it, including that
received via this Web site. This Notice has been prepared to
inform you of SRTC practices concerning the collection, use
and disclosure of information about identified individuals,
or individuals whose identity may be inferred or determined
from the information ("Personal Information") provided
to the SRTC via the use of this public Web site only.
In browsing the Internet, you will encounter a technology
called "cookies" which can be used to provide you
with specific information from a Web site. A "cookie" is
an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser,
which may then store it on your system. You can set your
browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you
the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set
your browser to block all cookies.
This Web site uses session cookies to track Web site usage.
Session cookies track a user's progression through a Web
site (or Web sites) in a single visit. These cookies enable
a Web
server to remember things as you progress from one page to
another. Session cookies are deleted as soon as you close
your browser. If you leave your browser open for a prolonged
period, the cookies on this Web site are not set to erase
themselves automatically after a short period of time. They
will, however, be deleted when you shut down your browser.
Persistent cookies do not erase themselves, and they remain
on your computer until you erase them using your browser
settings. This public Web site does not use persistent cookies.
A visitor to this Web site is not required to reveal any
individually identifiable information, such as name, address,
or telephone number. Nor is such information collected passively
by electronic means.
The SRTC Web server tracks general information about visitors
such as their domain name and time of visit. This Web site
also collects and aggregates information regarding which
pages are being accessed. This information, only in aggregate
form, is used internally to serve visitors better by helping
the SRTC to manage this Web site, diagnose any technical
problems, and improve the content.
Please note that for security purposes and to ensure that
this Web site remains available for use, the SRTC employs
software programs to monitor network traffic, to identify
unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, and
to prevent denial-of-service attacks or other attacks intended
to cause damage. Such activities will result in the collection
of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses but such IP addresses
are not associated with, or connected to, particular pages
accessed within the Member Portal (or within this Web site).
The SRTC understands that information is of an especially
sensitive nature and that you may have concerns about sharing
personal information with us. We believe
in giving you control over the amount of information we receive
about you. Where possible, we allow you to give as much or
as little personal information to us as you feel comfortable
providing. We will never willfully sell, trade, rent, disclose,
or make available personally identifiable information about
you to any third party without first receiving your permission.
