1. What information of yours does the Saberis network collect?F

The goal of Saberis Inc is to provide you with the information, services and product offerings ("Products and Services") that are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, Saberis may opt to collect information to understand what differentiates you from its other unique users. We may collect two types of information, "anonymous information" and "personal information". Anonymous information refers to information that is not about an identifiable individual. Each time a visitor comes to a site owned by, or hosted by Saberis, the network may collect information that is necessary to improve the overall quality of the visitor's online experience. The network may collect computer and connection information such as the visitor's IP address (e.g., whether the user is logged on from a .ca, .com, .net, .gov or .edu domain), referral data (e.g., the address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking through to a Saberis hosted site), and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform). Saberis may also collect aggregate search terms from its search services for internal reporting and targeted advertising. Saberis may collect this user information for purposes of product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising. In addition to this anonymous information, Saberis may also collect information that is about an identifiable individual ("personal information"). Personal information includes information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name and zip code or postal code. Personal information may be gathered when you voluntarily register with one, or several of the Saberis hosted sites. If you choose to register you may provide Saberis with your name, postal code, email address, and other information. While not all of this information is required, the more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience. Once you register you may be given a Saberis network ID and are able to take full advantage of the many offerings over the Saberis network. If you contact Saberis, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

2. What are "cookies" ? Does Saberis use them?

We may also collect anonymous information using "cookies." A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a web site to the hard drive of your computer so that the web site may identify you and allow you to move between Saberis sites without having to sign in each time. This unique number identifies your browser, but not you, to the Saberis computers whenever you visit one of the hosted sites. A cookie will NOT let a web site know any personal information about you, such as your real name and address. The coding in the cookies lets us know that you are using a particular computer, but nothing more. Since cookies are only text files, they cannot run on your computer, search your computer for other information, or transmit any information to anyone. To help serve you better, the Saberis network may use uses cookies to: Help us remember who you are through your browser settings so that we can offer and provide personalized services. We may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about what is done and seen across the Saberis  network. Cookies also allow us to save passwords and preferences for you, so that you will not have to re-enter them the next time you visit, as well as measure traffic patterns. Without cookies, it could be difficult for us to know that certain services are more popular than others. Cookies help us to know whether or not users have seen particular displays, including advertisements. Cookies are used on most major web sites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies.
