Vanguard Resources maintains high standards for the protection of privacy over the Internet. The purpose of this statement is to explain the types of information Vanguard Resources obtains about visitors to our web site, how the information is obtained, how it is used, and how visitors can restrict its use or disclosure.
The only information Vanguard Resources obtains about individual visitors to our web site is information supplied voluntarily by the visitor. This means that you can visit our web site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself--we DO NOT track where you go on our site, so you never receive unsolicited emails from us. To gauge the effectiveness of our web site, we do collect some non-individually-identifiable generic information about our visitors. Our web servers automatically recognize a visitor's domain name (such as .com, .edu, etc.), the web page from which a visitor enters our site, which pages a visitor visits on our site, and how much time a visitor spends on each page. This information does not reveal a visitor's identity. We aggregate this information and use it to evaluate and improve our web site. You can choose to provide individually-identifiable information to Vanguard Resources in a number of ways through our web site - by requesting information from us or sending us email. When visitors supply information about themselves for a specific purpose, Vanguard Resources uses the information for that purpose (such as to provide the information the visitor has requested). In addition, when visitors use our web site to order services, or to request information about our services, we may use the individually-identifiable information as we would use the same information obtained off-line--for example, to evaluate your service needs and contact you regarding additional services you may find useful. We do not sell or disclose individually-identifiable information obtained on-line about our visitors to anyone outside of Vanguard Resources unless it is required by law, or disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of customers, employees or property. Vanguard Resources is committed to safeguarding customer privacy on our web site. We require our employees to protect the privacy of information about our customers and expect our partners and suppliers to do so as well. You can feel confident that your individually-identifiable information will be protected when you access our web pages or request services from us over the Internet. We employ security measures to safeguard your transactions with us. The Vanguard Resources web site may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed by other site. To improve the services it can offer you, Vanguard Resources may opt to expand its capabilities for obtaining information about users in the future. Vanguard Resources will update this privacy statement continually to ensure that you are aware of developments in this area. Vanguard Resources has adopted Privacy Principles that state our commitment and define our policy on safeguarding customer privacy in all of our businesses.
