Privacy Statement

The Center for Advanced Sensor Technology ("CAST") respects our visitors' right to privacy online. We hold your detailed information in confidence.

Asking for your information

We will sometimes ask visitors for personal information such as your name, address, e-mail address, occupation and other details. Providing us your information will simply help us offer information that we think you'd like to hear about. When you choose to give personal information to us over the Internet that we may request, we will endeavor to inform you how we will use the information.

When we ask for personal information for any reason, we will provide a link to this policy statement to make our intentions clear.

Personal Information Privacy

CAST will take all appropriate steps to keep your personal information confidential. Those steps include limiting access to visitor information databases, communicating this policy statement to all CAST employees and establishing and enforcing penalties for violating this statement.

CAST will not sell, rent, or give away our visitors' personal information to other companies for use in selling others' products or services.

We gather personal information from our visitors so we can better develop our relationship with those visitors. Occasionally, we may seek visitor comments on our products and services. These comments allow us to determine which information our visitors should be made aware of based on their specific needs.

We will communicate with visitors via e-mail or other online delivery devices only if the visitor agrees to receive those communications. Visitors who believe they are receiving our communications in error or no longer desire to receive them, should inform us and we will remove those visitors' names from our mailing lists. CAST will be judicious in the use of e-mail and paper mail to communicate with visitors. We will, at all times, put ourselves in the place of the recipients of our mail and treat our visitors as we ourselves would like to be treated.
