Welcome to fibre-metal.com! This site is owned by The Fibre-Metal
Products Company. This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about
our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information
that you may provide via this site. Please be sure to read this entire
Privacy Policy before using, or submitting information, to this site.
This site is intended for use by residents of the United States.
Your Consent:
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the
collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance
with this Privacy Policy.
About Children:
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will
not knowingly collect information from site visitors in this age group.
We encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of
the Internet and the information they disclose to Web sites.
Active Information Collection:
Like many Web sites, this site actively collects information from
its visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting
you to communicate directly with us via e-mail, feedback forms, and/or
chat rooms. Some of the information that you submit may be personally
identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely
identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address,
phone number, and so on). Some areas of this site may require you
to submit information in order for you to benefit from the specified
features (such as newsletter subscriptions, tips/pointers, order processing)
or to participate in a particular activity (such as sweepstakes or
other promotions). You will be informed at each information collection
point what information is required and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection:
As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be passively
collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information)
using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses,
cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.
This site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP Address
is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider
so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally
identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic
(changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static
(unique to a particular user's computer). We use your IP address to
diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine
the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site,
and administer and improve the site.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends
to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about
you and your preferences.
"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information
that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there
unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information
on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain
information you have previously provided (e.g., passwords), helping
to determine what areas of the Web site visitors find most valuable,
and customizing the Web site based on your preferences.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear
GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies
and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address
and browser type related to the visitor's computer. This site uses
Internet tags. Tags have been placed both on online advertisements
that bring people to the site and on different pages of the site.
These tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information
is consulted. We do not collect or seek personally identifiable
information through these tags.
"Navigational data" ("log files," "server
logs," and "clickstream" data) are used for system
management, to improve the content of the site, market research
purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This site
uses navigational data.
Use and Disclosure of Information:
Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information to improve
the content of our site, to customize the site to your preferences,
to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for
our marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes specified
in this Privacy Policy.
Links to Other Web Sites:
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites. Please
be aware that we do not control other Web sites and that, in any
case, this Privacy Policy does not apply to those Web sites. We
encourage you to read the privacy policy of every Web site you visit.
Other Terms:
Your use of this site is subject to our Legal Notice.

Policy or the information practices of this site, please contact

you provide any personally identifiable information. This Privacy
Policy was last updated on June 1st, 2001.
