Optistreams
Inc., ("Optistreams Inc.")
is sensitive to privacy issues on
the Internet. We believe it is important
you know what information we collect
and receive from you on the Optistreams
Inc. Web Site (the "Web Site")
and how we will use it. This policy
will also instruct you on what to
do if you do not wish to continue
receiving information from us.

1. Type of information
collected
In general, you can visit Optistreams
Inc. on the World Wide Web without telling us who you
are or revealing any information about yourself. For
each visitor to our Web Site, Our web servers automatically
recognize and collect only the user's domain name, and
not the individual user's e-mail addresses, of visitors.
Thus, the only way we usually obtain a visitor's name,
e-mail address or other personal information is when
you provide it to us, such as through survey information
and/or site registrations. This information is aggregated
to measure the number of visits, average time spent
on the site, pages viewed, etc. Optistreams Inc. uses
this information to measure the use of our site and
to improve the content of our site.
However, at times we may need other
information from you, such as your name and address,
usually, in order to respond to an inquiry from you,
process an order or allow you to access your account
information. When such information is needed, we will
try to let you know at the time of collection, how we
will use this personal information, although we do not
guarantee that we will always be able to do so.
We may at times use a technology
called cookies to provide you with tailored information.
A cookie is a tiny element of data that a Web Site can
send to your browser, which may then be stored on your
hard drive so we can recognize you when you return.
You may set your browser to notify you when you receive
a cookie.
At times we conduct on-line surveys
to better understand the needs and profile of our visitors.
When we conduct a survey, we will try to let you know
how we will use the information at the time we collect
information from you on the Internet.
2. Use of information collected
The information we collect is used
to (i) determine the number of visitors to our site
each day and the sources of such traffic, (ii) improve
the content and layout of our Web Site, and (iii) contact
businesses for marketing purposes. We do not sell, rent,
lease or otherwise share the information we collect
from you with other organizations for commercial purposes.
Also, we do not partner or have special relationships
with any ad server companies. Usually, the personal
information we collect is used only by us to respond
to your inquiry, process an order or allow you to access
your account information.
