INFORMATION
COLLECTION
Our web site may log a user's IP address, browser type and version,
dial-up domain, and computer operating system when he/she visits
our site. We use the tracked information to help diagnose problems
with our server and to administer our website. IP addresses of our
web site users are used to diagnose problems with our server, and
to administer our web site. IP addresses may also be used to gather
broad demographic information - information that is not associated
with any individual. Our web site uses an order form for customers
to purchase our product and services. We collect customers' contact
information (such as their address and email address) and financial
information (such as credit card numbers). A valid certificate for
conducting Internet commerce has been issued by Verisign, Inc to
Career Dimensions, Inc. for this purpose. Contact information from
the order form is used to send confirmation of orders to our customers.
We may also provide future mailings regarding product information
and releases. We may also conduct surveys during which similar information
will be collected and used for the same purposes listed above. Users
may opt out of receiving any of these at any time. We reserve the
right to aggregate or compile and use data obtained from the scoring
of our assessments, and to utilize this data for research, product
development, and statistical analysis. This data is only used in
aggregate and never is associated with any individual's identity.

DISCLOSURE
OF INFORMATION COLLECTED
We do not sell, trade or rent or otherwise give to any other entity
