Like all other Web servers, Hamby Ballroom Dance Studios's Web server automatically creates log files for each visitor who accesses our site. These "access logs" allow us to make our site more useful to our visitors. The access logs do NOT record a visitor's name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, or any other personally-identifying information. Rather, they contain some or all of the following information:

• The Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) of the machine which accessed our Web site.
• The date of the visit.
• The time of the visit.
• The path taken through our Web site.
• The browser being used.
• A list of files downloaded or viewed.
• Any errors encountered.

Cookies
Hamby Ballroom Dance Studios does not currently use 'cookies' to collect information. A cookie is a string of characters that can be written to a file on the user's hard drive when the user visits a Web site. Only the Web site that set the cookie can read it, and it can only be used as a record keeping device to store information that the site already has. It cannot, for example, be used to read other information from the user's hard drive.

Hamby Ballroom Dance Studios may in the furutre decide to use cookies to track users' activity through the site in order to improve the site's architecture, to offer the user interactive features that would not be possible without them, and to recall specific information to save the user time during subsequent visits to the site. If you wish to prevent cookies from being set to your hard drive you may disable them in your browser's preferences, although you may no longer be able to access certain features of our site.

Use of Information
The use of personally-identifying information is limited to the following: responding to user e-mails; fulfillment of requests for our services; fulfillment of special offers made by Hamby Ballroom Dance Studios; editorial purposes such as contacting users for an online survey; sending communications, including marketing and promotional communications, from Hamby Ballroom Dance Studios to users who have "opted in" to the receipt of such communications; other internal purposes; and other purposes specified at the time the information is gathered.

Personally-identifying information collected by Hamby Ballroom Dance Studios is not provided to outside parties, and is only provided to other third parties when the user specifically consents to such distribution. In these circumstances, the information is provided for the sole purpose of - and only to the extent necessary for -- delivering the requested goods to the user, delivering communications from Hamby Ballroom Dance Studios to users who have "opted in" to the receipt of these communications, or serving other purposes internal to Hamby Ballroom Dance Studios.

Hamby Ballroom Dance Studios uses non-identifying aggregate information to analyze use of and better design our Web site and to share with third parties in aggregate form only as appropriate. For example, we collect survey information on our web site, and we tally responses to questions (i.e. aggregated data) to gain insights into our users needs and the industry in general. We may communicate this aggregate data to other third parties or publish the aggregate data directly on our Web site, or both. However, we will not disclose any information that could be used to identify those users or their respective employers.
