Privacy

GovernmentPro.com values its users. Privacy and trust are very important. We recognize that you may be concerned about the collection, use, and disclosure of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we may collect when you use the Website. This Privacy Policy describes the information that we collect from you, how we collect this information, and what we do with it after we collect it. By using the Website you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. As always, we appreciate feedback. If you have any questions or comments regarding this Privacy Policy, please email support@governmentpro.com

Currently we do not collect any personally identifiable information from our Website users. We may collect non-personally identifiable information in order to help us understand how you found and use our website (search engine and link tracking). This helps us analyze the effectiveness of our search engine presence, ads, and other sources of traffic.

We may collect non-personal information from you, such as your browser type, the URL of the previous website you visited, your ISP, operating system, and your Internet protocol (IP) Address (“Non-Personal Information”). Non-Personal Information cannot be easily used to personally identify you.

Like the operators of most websites, we may use analytic and reporting technologies to record Non-Personal Information such as Internet domain and host names, Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser software, operating system types, clickstream patterns, and the dates and times that the Website pages are accessed. We may also contract with online partners to help manage, monitor and optimize our Website and to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising, communications and how visitors use the Website. To do this, we may use web beacons and cookies.

A “cookie” is a very small text file placed on the hard drive of your computer. Most websites use cookies. We may use cookies to track your use of the Website, specifically what pages you visit and in what order, to help us understand how we can improve the overall user experience.

A “web beacon” is an often-transparent graphic image, usually no larger than a tiny pixel that is placed on a web page or in an e-mail that is used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the Website or receiving the e-mail.

Cookies and web beacons we use are not linked to Personal Information.

Advertisements: We also use third party advertisements on GovernmentPro.com to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geo-targeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

DoubleClick DART cookies: We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests (”interest based targeting”). The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses “non personally identifiable information”. It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers. You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by visiting http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx

Options: You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

You may be able to access third party websites belonging to other website operators directly from the Website. This Privacy Policy does not apply when you access third party websites. We cannot control how third parties may use Personal Information you disclose to them, so you should carefully review the privacy policy of any third party website you visit before using it or disclosing your Personal Information to its provider.

We may make changes to the Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting a notice on the home page of the Website. If you receive notification of a change in our Privacy Policy, please review the new Privacy Policy carefully to make sure you understand our practices and procedures.
