Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you communicate with us, subscribe to or participate in a mailing list, or otherwise interact with the Site. Depending on the interaction, this information may include:

• Your name;
• Your email address or other contact information;
• The contents of messages you send to us; and
• Information you choose to submit to a mailing list or other public or community feature.

Please do not send sensitive personal information through the Site unless it is specifically requested.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, our web servers may automatically record limited technical information when you access the Site. This may include:

• Your Internet Protocol (IP) address;
• Browser and device type;
• Operating system;
• Referring page or website;
• Pages requested from the Site;
• Date and time of access; and
• Information associated with errors, security events, or attempted misuse of the Site.

We primarily use this information to operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and understand the use of the Site.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site may use cookies or similar technologies when needed to provide website functionality, maintain preferences, protect the Site, or understand how the Site is being used.

A cookie is a small amount of information stored by your browser. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their privacy settings. Blocking cookies may affect the operation of features that depend on them.

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles about visitors or to track visitors across unrelated websites for targeted advertising.

3. Mailing Lists and Archived Content

IGTC has historically hosted Internet mailing lists and archives of messages posted to those lists.

Messages submitted to a public mailing list may have been distributed to subscribers and preserved in publicly accessible archives. Such messages may contain the sender's name, email address, message headers, quoted material, or other information voluntarily included by the sender.

Because mailing-list messages may also have been distributed or copied by third parties, removing information from IGTC's systems cannot remove copies held elsewhere on the Internet.

If you believe archived material contains personal information that should be reviewed or removed, contact us at webmaster@igtc.com . We will evaluate reasonable requests taking into account applicable law, technical feasibility, the historical nature of the archive, and the rights and interests of other users.

4. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the Site to:

• Provide and operate the Site and related services;
• Respond to questions or communications;
• Administer mailing lists or other community services;
• Diagnose technical problems;
• Maintain the reliability and security of our systems;
• Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access;
• Understand how the Site is being used;
• Comply with legal obligations; and
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

We do not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals.

5. How We Disclose Information

We do not sell personal information.

We may disclose information in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers

We may provide information to companies or individuals that perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, network, email, security, backup, or other technical services. These providers are permitted to use information only as necessary to provide those services or as otherwise permitted by law.

Legal and Security Requirements

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request;
• Investigate or prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, or illegal activity;
• Protect the security or integrity of the Site or our systems; or
• Protect the rights, safety, or property of IGTC, our users, or others.

Business Transfers

If responsibility for the Site or its services is transferred to another person or organization, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable privacy requirements.

6. Sale, Targeted Advertising, and Profiling

IGTC does not sell personal information and does not use personal information for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising.

We also do not profile individuals in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

If these practices change, this Privacy Policy will be updated and any legally required opt-out mechanisms will be provided.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including operating and securing the Site, maintaining appropriate records, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the information.

Web-server and security logs may be retained for a limited period necessary for administration, troubleshooting, and security purposes.

Mailing-list archives and other material intentionally published as part of an historical archive may be retained for substantially longer periods.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

No Internet transmission, website, or computer system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or maintained by the Site.

9. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

You may contact us to request that we:

• Tell you whether we maintain personal information about you;
• Provide access to personal information we maintain about you;
• Correct inaccurate personal information;
• Delete personal information, where appropriate; or
• Provide a copy of certain information you previously supplied to us.

Depending on where you live and whether an applicable privacy law covers IGTC's processing of your information, you may have additional legal rights.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. We may also decline or limit a request where permitted or required by law, including where information must be retained for security, legal, archival, or other legitimate purposes.

Privacy requests may be sent to: webmaster@igtc.com .

If applicable law gives you a right to appeal a decision concerning a privacy request, you may submit an appeal to the same address and identify the communication as a Privacy Request Appeal.

10. Global Privacy Control and Other Browser Signals

Some browsers and browser extensions transmit privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control ("GPC").

Because IGTC does not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising, there is currently no sale or targeted-advertising activity from which a visitor needs to opt out.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a browser-based privacy preference signal for other processing activities, we will honor valid signals as required by law.

11. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through services directed to children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in circumstances requiring parental consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete or otherwise handle that information as required by law.

Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information to us may contact webmaster@igtc.com .

12. Links to Other Websites

The Site may contain links to websites operated by third parties. IGTC does not control the privacy or security practices of those websites.

When you leave IGTC.com, information you provide or that is collected by another website is governed by that website's privacy policy rather than this Privacy Policy.

13. International Visitors

IGTC.com is operated from the United States.

If you access the Site from another country, information associated with your use of the Site may be processed or stored in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

Where applicable law provides additional rights regarding such processing, we will comply with those requirements to the extent they apply to IGTC.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Site, our information practices, or applicable law.

When we make changes, we will update the Last updated date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated through the Site when appropriate.

We encourage visitors to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
