A. COPYRIGHT NOTICE

All uses of the contents of this site, other than personal uses, are prohibited. © Gallagher Sharp. All rights reserved.

B. PRIVACY STATEMENT 

Gallagher Sharp gathers two types of information about its users: 
  • Data that users provide through voluntary registration on our site 


  • Aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our site
Such information enables us to better tailor our content to users' needs and helps us understand the demographics of our audience. Information is gathered using the following:

  • User Registration

    Although many features of this web site are available to anonymous users, some areas require registration prior to accessing content. By registering, users take advantage of various personalized features such as the ability to invoke unique functions and content based on their identity. During registration, users supply information required to enable transactions--including, but not limited to--username, password, address, e-mail address, and country.


  • Usage Tracking

    Gallagher Sharp tracks user traffic patterns throughout this site; however, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Gallagher Sharp does segment overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).


  • Cookies

    A cookie is a small data file that some web sites attach to users' hard drives when they visit the sites. A cookie file can contain information, such as a user ID, that the site uses to track the pages users visited. The only personal information a cookie can contain has to be supplied by the user.


    • A cookie can't read data off a hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Gallagher Sharp uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). When users enter the site or register, Gallagher Sharp uses a cookie to store the user ID. Cookies enable users to enter various parts of the Gallagher Sharp site as a registered user without having to log on each time, and to visit other restricted areas of the site with similar security settings.

Use of Collected Information
Gallagher Sharp uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our site, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the site or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users. Gallagher Sharp does not share user lists with outside parties, including advertisers. Gallagher Sharp may disclose this information to Federal or State government agencies to meet legal requirements in special circumstances. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our site are most (and least) popular based on traffic to those areas. Gallagher Sharp does not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for our users. 

Opt-Out Policy
Gallagher Sharp gives users options wherever necessary and practical. Users may choose not to participate in certain interactive areas of this site, which alleviates the need to collect any information from the user. 

C. SECURITY STATEMENT 

Gallagher Sharp takes security measures to protect personal information from loss, unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, modification or disclosure.
