Your privacy is important to CDI; maintaining your trust is paramount to us. This Statement discloses the information practices for CDI’s and our affiliates’ Web sites, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared. This Statement applies to CDI Web sites that link to this Statement but does not apply to those CDI Web sites that have their own Privacy Statement. Additionally, it does not apply to instances where we merely process data on behalf of clients for their benefit, such as when we act as a web hosting service provider. From time to time, we may supplement this Statement with additional information relating to a particular interaction we have with you. CDI is a member of TRUSTe (www.truste.com) in the United States and as such, we have agreed to have the privacy practices of our CDI Web sites reviewed by TRUSTe. TRUSTe is an independent organization whose mission is to promote online safety and trust and to help guide individuals to sites that protect their online privacy. The TRUSTe program covers only information that is collected through our Web sites, and does not cover information that may be collected through software downloaded from our sites. International Business Machines Corporation abides by the Safe Harbor framework as set forth by the United States Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use and retention of information collected from the European Union by CDI Web sites.
