Information Collected and Stored Automatically
The Draka EHC web server collects and saves only the default information customarily logged by World Wide Web server software. Specifically, for each http request received, the date and time, the originating IP address, the object requested and the completion status of the request is collected and saved.
We analyze these logs monthly to determine the traffic through the server during that month in hits, the number of pages served and the level of demand for pages of interest during each month. We may also analyze accesses to particular pages to determine statistics that may be of value to us in future reorganization of our web pages.
E-mail submitted to Draka EHC, we use the information provided to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested. We do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to you. Moreover, we do not store any personal information independent of the e-mail message, create individual profiles with the information you provide or give it to any private organizations.
How the Information is Used:
We use the information that we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different areas of our sites and to help us make our sites more useful to visitors. This includes analyzing these logs periodically to determine the traffic through our servers, the number of pages served, and the level of demand for pages and topics of interest.
Personal Information via Forms:
Some of our sites provide forms allowing visitors to submit search engine queries, questionnaires, feedback or other information. Some of these forms may request personally identifiable information (e.g., name, address, e-mail address) for specific purposes, such as when the submitter is requesting a personal response, registering for a conference or subscribing to a mailing list. All information submitted by visitors is voluntary.
We may store non-personally identifiable information we collect (such as search engine queries and anonymous survey responses) indefinitely to help us better understand and meet the needs of our visitors. We may share non-personally identifiable information with others, including the public, in aggregated form (for instance, in a list of our most popular search engine queries), in partial or edited form (such as in a report summarizing responses to a questionnaire) or verbatim (for example, in a complete listing of survey responses).
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions on how we can make this site more useful or if you are concerned about our use of your Personal Information, please contact Draka EHC’s Marketing Department.
