This Privacy Policy (also referred to herein as our “Policy”) has been
created by IT SmartSearch Limited Liability Company (“IT SmartSearch,”
sometimes also referred to herein as “we” or “us”) to demonstrate our
commitment to on-line data protection and privacy. Because our web site
includes areas in which you may provide personal information, we have
developed this Policy to inform you of IT SmartSearch’s practices concerning
information we collect about you on this site. To make this Policy easy to
find, it is available on our homepage and at every point where personally
identifiable information may be obtained. If you have additional questions
about this Policy, please contact us at webmaster@itsmartsearch.com.
This Policy governs the URL http://www.itsmartsearch.com, and describes
what information our site collects about you, how it is collected and how it
is used. This Policy does not apply to the treatment of personal information
collected off-line, or to web sites found at other locations, including any
web sites operated by entities affiliated with IT SmartSearch. For information
concerning privacy practices of web sites operated by other entities,
including entities affiliated with IT SmartSearch; please consult the privacy
practices posted at those web sites.
We encourage you to read this Policy before using our web site. Your use of
the web site signifies that you agree with all terms of this Policy, so please
do not use our web site if you disagree with any part of this Policy.
Information collected about you
IT SmartSearch ’s web site collects certain personal information about you
whenever you send an e-mail to IT SmartSearch or investor relations or
complete one of our on-line forms, such as the document request form. The
personal information you provide can identify you and your business, and may
include such items as your name, your employer’s name, e-mail and US mail
addresses, and office and home telephone numbers and fax numbers. We provide
the capability to submit resumes to IT SmartSearch via e-mail. Any resume we
receive will be held in confidence and used only for the purpose for which it
was submitted.
IT SmartSearch also collects or logs other information that cannot identify
you personally when you visit our web site. This information includes your
computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address and your domain name. An IP
address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by the
Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) computer through which you access the web,
and a domain name is the name of the ISP computer itself through which you
access the web.
IT SmartSearch logs IP addresses and domain names and aggregates them for
system administration purposes and to monitor the use of our site. We use the
aggregated information to measure the number of visits to our site, the
average time spent on our site, the number of pages viewed, to monitor various
other site statistics and to diagnose problems with our server. This
monitoring process helps us continuously improve the content we provide. IT
SmartSearch does not share these statistics with outside parties and does not
link IP addresses or domain names with any personally identifying information,
which means that a visitor’s session will be logged on our servers, but the
visitor will remain anonymous.
We also may retain information concerning the web sites that users access
by means of links at our site, and the web sites from which users link to our
site. This information does not include personally identifiable data
concerning those users.

passwords so that visitors do not have to reenter that information each time
they visit a site. These and other cookie functions may be enabled by our web
