individual basis. If you do nothing during your visit except

Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a private Internet

access our Web site; (2) The type of browser and operating system you used
to access our site; (3) The date and time you access our

Choice
"Personal information" is
information about a natural person that identifies a specific individual.
Personal information includes such things as an individual's name, address,
and phone number. A domain name or Internet protocol address is not
considered personal information. You may choose whether or not to provide
personal information online.We collect no personal information about you
unless you voluntarily provide it to us by sending us e-mail, participating
in a survey, or completing an online form. You may choose not to contact us
by e-mail, participate in a survey, or provide any personal information
using an online form. Your choice not to participate in these activities
will not impair your ability to browse the Shaw Resources Web site and read
or download any information posted on the site. However, not providing us
personal information may preclude us from providing you with access to a
subscriber service that requires you to login (sign on) such as the
Scorebook Navigator™ tool.
If you choose to provide us with personal
information (e.g. your postal or e-mail address or
telephone number) - by sending an e-mail, or by filling out a form
(e.g. a survey) and submitting it to us: (1) We
use that information to respond to your message and/or to help us fulfill
your request (e.g. subscribing to a list). (2) We
share that information only if required by law. (3) We
do not create individual profiles with that information. We do not give it
to any private organizations. (4) We
may use the information for our own marketing but we do not sell any
information provided by users through this Web site to third parties.
(5) When
you provide personal information, we aggregate it with that of other users
to help us tailor our web site, publications, and services to our users'
needs and to help us understand our audience. (6) The
use of, and access to your personal information is restricted to those
personnel/staff who need to know that information to provide services or
support to you. We do not divulge your personal information
voluntarily. However, we do cooperate with law enforcement authorities and
will obey any valid court order requesting or directing us to disclose the
identity of or help identify or locate anyone pursuant to U.S. State or
Federal law. If you believe that your personal information
is being used for a purpose other than what was intended when submitting it,
please contact us using the information shown in the "Contact Information"
section of this privacy policy.

of data, block unknown or unauthorized access to our systems and
information, and to provide reasonable protection of private and personal

server. E-mail Security-Privacy Warning: e-mail is
