Changes in Privacy Policy
All “personal
information” ("personal information" is defined as any information that
identifies or can be used to identify, contact or locate the person to
whom such information pertains) that we may or may not collect and maintain will be
subject to the version of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of such
collection. CNSC reserves the right to change the Privacy Policy from
time to time at its sole discretion, and will provide notice of material
changes on the homepage of the Site. If as the result of such changes, you
want to alter the ways in which CNSC is allowed to use your personal
information, you can do so by following the procedure described below in
the section entitled “Updating your Personal Information and Privacy
Preferences. You will be deemed to have been made aware of, and will be
subject to, the changes to the Privacy Policy by your continued use of the
Site after such notice has been posted. If at the time you provide personal information
to CNSC you are given the opportunity (as you currently are) to limit how
such information will be used to communicate with you, either by CNSC or
by third parties, CNSC will not change your preference in this regard
without your express consent. However, if CNSC sells assets (or the
assets of a division or subsidiary) to another entity, or CNSC (or a
division or subsidiary) is acquired by or merged with, another entity, CNSC may provide to such entity customer information that is related to
that part of our business that was sold to or merged with the other entity
without your consent.

any personal information. In connection with other activities, such as
utilizing online software applications, CNSC may ask you to provide
certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online
form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If
you elect to engage in these activities, however, CNSC may ask that you
provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing
address, e-mail address, employer, job title and
department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal
information. When ordering products or services on the Site, you may be
asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some
of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory
and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with
respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that
activity.
When you use the Site, third parties authorized may also collect certain technical and routing information about your computer to facilitate your use of the Site and its services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of your computer. We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track your use of the Site and its services.and such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Site.

Such vendors are bound by contract to not use your personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties. One instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed pages in which the url for the pages is not visible and the pages are being hosted by a vendor.
