Privacy Policy

GraphicVisions Communications has created this privacy policy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the website, GraphicVisions Communications:

Personally identifiable information provided by subscribers (name, email or address, etc.) is never disclosed to any individual or business.

Cookies and Clear GIFs

GraphicVisions Communications uses cookies and clear GIFs to enhance your experience at our websites. These cookies and clear GIFs let us know how many people are coming to our site, how frequently, and how they are using the site, allowing us to make updates to content and improve navigation as appropriate.

Cookies are pieces of information that we place on your computer to help us accurately understand how many consumers are visiting a particular site, how often they visit that site, what content they are most interested in, and how they prefer to shop for our products. For example, a cookie will allow us to remember certain things based on your Internet Protocol or “IP” address (an IP address is the string of numbers that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent across the Internet), such as your login information, the time and duration of your visits, how you navigated through our content and where you exited the site. To save you the time of re-entering your login information every time you come back to our website, GraphicVisions Communications may link information contained in a cookie to your email address. We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that we did not originally send in a cookie.

Clear GIFs, sometimes called “Web bugs,” are file objects, usually a graphic image such as a transparent one pixel-by-one pixel GIF (Graphics Interchange Format, one of the two most common file formats for images on the Web), that are placed on a Web page or in an email message to monitor user behavior. The GIF tells us the IP address of the computer that fetched our page, the URL of the page the GIF is on, the time the page was viewed; the type of browser used, and can tell us a previously set cookie value. This anonymous information is returned by the clear GIF to GraphicVisions Communications, and we use this information to accurately count visitors across multiple GraphicVisions Communications sites and understand how they navigate and use our network of sites. GraphicVisions Communications does not combine information gathered through clear GIFs with your personal information.
