What Information do we

Spectrum may collect both personally identifiable information
("PII") about you and non-personal information about your visit
when you access our website. The PII we collect is limited to
information you submit to us. For example, we may collect your
e-mail address or other information you provide when you contact us
through our website. We may also collect names or other types of
PII from our limited partners ("LPs") to help verify that they are
authorized to access the pages of our website dedicated to
LPs.
How is Your Information Used?
Spectrum considers the PII contained in our business records to be
confidential. We will not sell, rent, or share your PII. If you
submit your e-mail address or other PII to us via our website while
requesting information or contacting someone at Spectrum, we will
use this information only to the extent necessary to respond to
your request(s).
We use the non-personal information collected about site visits,
including the pages you view, information you search for, and the
average time spent on our websites, in the aggregate to better
understand our audience and increase the functionality and
user-friendliness of our site. Aggregate information is
anonymous.
To the extent permitted by law, any information collected over our
website or concerning its use (personal and non-personal) may be
disclosed to government authorities or third parties pursuant to a
legal request, subpoena, or other legal process.
What About Cookies and Web
Beacons?
Spectrum and certain partners working on behalf of Spectrum may
use technologies such as cookies and web beacons to learn about
your visit. A cookie is a piece of information that is sent to your
browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive.
A cookie allows Spectrum to determine that a visit has occurred
within our site, as well as which pages were viewed. Cookies are
not used to identify you and will not collect personal information.
You can decide if and how your computer will accept cookies by
configuring your preferences option within your web browser. If you
choose to decline cookies, however, some of the functionality of
this website may be impaired. Web beacons, also known as clear gifs
and web bugs, allow us to recognize a cookie on your computer when
you view a web page or e-mail. These electronic images help us
measure the effectiveness of our website by, for example, counting
the number of individuals who visit us online.
How Do We Protect Personally Identifiable
Information Collected on this Site?
We take reasonable precautions to protect the PII in our
possession from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure,
alteration and destruction. However, Spectrum does not warrant or
represent that its level of security meets or exceeds any
particular standard. You should keep in mind that no Internet
transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free.
What About Changes to This Privacy
Policy?
Spectrum reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify,
alter or otherwise update this policy at any time and you agree to
be bound by such modifications, alterations or updates. We will
notify you of material changes to this privacy policy by posting
