1. Collection of Personal Information from Site Visitors
Monitoring-Oz may collect or track (1) the home server domain names, e-mail addresses, type of client computer, files downloaded, search engine used, operating system, and type of Web browser of visitors to the Site, (2) the e-mail addresses of visitors that communicate with Monitoring-Oz via e-mail, (3) information knowingly provided by the visitor in online order forms, sign-up forms, contact forms, online resume submissions, registration forms, surveys, e-mail, and other online avenues (including, without limitation, demographic and personal profile data), and (4) aggregate and user-specific information regarding which pages Site visitors access.
Monitoring-Oz may place Internet "cookies" and digital "certificates" on visitors hard drives. Internet cookies save data about individual visitors, such as the visitors name, password, user-name, screen preferences, and the pages of a site viewed by the visitor. When the visitor revisits the Site, Monitoring-Oz may recognize the visitor by the Internet cookie and customize the visitors experience accordingly. Visitors may decline Internet cookies, if any, by using the appropriate feature of their Web client software, if available. A digital certificate is an attachment to an electronic message used for security purposes. The certificate verifies that the user sending a message is who he or she claims to be, and provides the receiver with the means to encode a reply. A certificate contains the domain name for which the certificate was issued, the owner of the certificate and the domain name, the physical location of the owner and the validity dates of the certificate. When the visitor revisits the Site, the server authenticates itself to the web browser by presenting the digital certificate. The certificate is proof that an independent trusted third party has verified that the website belongs to the visitor it claims to belong to. A valid certificate gives Monitoring-Oz clients confidence that they are sending personal information securely, and to the right place.
Monitoring-Oz also may use Web bugs to gather, store, and track certain information related to your visit to and activity on the Site. A Web "bug" is a file object, which can be a graphic image such as a transparent one pixel-by-one pixel graphics file, which is placed on a Web page or in an e-mail message to monitor user activity. A Web bug can gather, for example, the IP address of your computer, the time the Web page was viewed, and the type of browser used.
When a visitor performs a search within the Site, Monitoring-Oz may record information identifying the visitor or linking the visitor to the search performed. Monitoring-Oz may also record limited information for every search request and use that information to solve technical problems with the services available directly or indirectly in connection with the Site and to calculate overall usage statistics.

While Monitoring-Oz may undertake efforts to see that any third party to which Monitoring-Oz shares, rents, sells, or otherwise discloses personal data is under a contractual obligation to use the personal data solely for the purposes for which the data was disclosed, such third parties are independent third parties over which Monitoring-Oz exercises no control, and Monitoring-Oz is not responsible for their conduct, actions, omissions, or information handling or dissemination practices and Monitoring-Oz will not be liable therefore.
