- Browser software (e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape)

3. What are
cookies and how does StreamlineStaff.com use them?
StreamlineStaff.com requires each member to enable cookies to login and
use our services.
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a tiny piece of text asking permission to be placed on your
computer's hard drive. If you agree, then your browser adds the
text in a small file. If you have set your browser to notify you
before accepting a cookie, you will receive a notice that StreamlineStaff.com
requests a cookie to be set on your computer.
Why do we use
Cookies?
Identification: We use cookies to identify you uniquely. For example,
this allows us to pre-populate your login information when you access
your account.
Tracking and
Maintaining Session info: Once you have logged in, we use the cookie
to distinguish between your session and that of the many other
people using our service. Setting cookies is currently the best
method of maintaining session information over the web.
Are cookies
secure?
A cookie cannot contain program code, so it cannot be used as a virus
nor can it be used to extract data from your system. When a cookie is
set, only the server which set the cookie can access the information
in that cookie.
How do I change
the way my browser handles cookies?
Most browsers allow three options for handling cookies:
• Accept all cookies
• Warn before accepting a cookie
• Reject all cookies
Some of our
web-based services will not function unless your browser is set
to accept cookies. Instructions for enabling and disabling cookies
can be found through the help menu on most browsers.
If you have
continued trouble changing your cookie settings, you may contact
our support site for additional help.4. How do I access, change
or delete information about myself?
You may change any submitted information by contacting the Streamline
Staff office on our Contact Page.
5. How may
I protect my privacy on the Internet and within StreamlineStaff.com?
- Know the risks.
If you provide your e-mail address to public domains such as chat rooms
or newsgroups, or you provide it to websites which don't respect your
privacy, you may begin to receive unsolicited e-mail. Unsolicited e-mail
is also known as spam. Although StreamlineStaff.com has strict rules
prohibiting spam and we do block certain known groups from sending unsolicited
messages to StreamlineStaff.com members, it is generally a good idea
to provide your e-mail address only to people or groups that you trust.
- Educate yourself.
Look for a privacy statement on every site you visit on the Web, and
search for information on how to protect your privacy.
- Tell your
children: "Never talk to strangers!"
Teach children not to give out their names or other personal information.
Tell them never to fill out online registration forms without your knowledge
and consent.
- Use complex
passwords.
If your password is simple, it is also simple for a hacker to break it
and gain access to your e-mail account or other private areas. To protect
your privacy, you should use complex passwords consisting of very long
and awkward keystroke combinations. This makes the hacker's job much
more difficult.
This privacy
policy is part of our User Agreement and you agree to be bound
by all of its terms and conditions.
