Cookies
Like most websites, ITNT automatically collects information and data through the use of "cookies". A "Cookie" is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server which enables a website to recognise repeat users, facilitate the user's on-going access to and use of the website and allows a website to track usage behaviour and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising. A cookie will not provide ITNT with personal information; therefore, if you have not supplied ITNT with any personal information, you can still browse the website anonymously. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies; however you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of this or other websites which you visit.
Security
The personally identifiable information we collect about you is stored in limited access servers. ITNT maintains safeguards to protect the security, integrity, and privacy of these servers and your personally identifiable information.
IP Address
If you are connected to the internet you will have an IP Address. This may take the form of a figure, such as 156.99.22.1. The address will be automatically collected and logged as part of the connection of your computer to ITNT' web server and may be used to determine the total number of visits to each part of the website. If there is a security breach the relevant IP Address will be identified by the Internet Service Provider and the user may be contacted.
Links to Other Web Sites
Should you make use of the external links which may be provided for your convenience, you should be aware that those websites are not subject to this Privacy Policy. ITNT recommends that you review the privacy policy at each such website to determine how that website protects your privacy.
