In order to make the most out of your visit to our website, we collect limited information about you.  The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you of what personally identifiable information we collect, how we use the information, with whom we share it, and what security measures we've taken to protect it.  We also want you to know your options regarding the collection and use of your personally identifiable information, and how you can correct inaccuracies in that information.

IMS is the sole owner of all information about you that we collect on this site.  We do not, and will not, sell, rent, or share your information with any third party in a way that is inconsistent with this privacy policy.

This web site may contain links to other sites that are not owned and operated by IMS.  We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.  This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by the IMS web site.

We may use your contact information to get in touch with you about our products and services, or about our website.  We may also contact you regarding promotions.  The form of communication will normally be electronic, and will sometimes be through the United States Postal Service.  However, we reserve the right to contact you through the telephone if you have provided us with your telephone number.

We may disclose personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on our website.

We currently only track usage patterns as they relate to accessing and navigation of the site.  This information includes geographic area of origin, browser type, ISP provider, length of time on the site, and pages visited.  This information is not associated with a particular user.  This information is gathered on all visits to our site and compiled together with no individually identifying information.

IMS takes appropriate precautions to secure your information, such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information, in order to keep your information secure.  However, as with any transmission over the Internet, there is always some element of risk involved in sending personal information.  In order to minimize this risk, all information that you submit in ordering one of our products or services is encrypted using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

All information about you is recorded in a database that requires username and password authentication for access.  Access to these email accounts will be granted only to IMS employees for the purpose of servicing cutomer inquiries.
