This information is used by CEDSE for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the CEDSE-CCC Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through CEDSE-CCC Web Site public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: CEDSE does not read any of your private online communications.

CEDSE encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from CEDSE-CCC so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information.
