Privacy Policy

Privacy and Confidentiality

Internet user privacy and confidentiality are important to NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter911.net, and TheCombatZone.org. This policy describes how these sites seek to protect user privacy and maintain trust in the Internet as a medium.

User Information

Users who receive advertisements served by the affiliated sites generally remain anonymous. The sites state that they do not collect personal details such as a user's name, address, telephone number, or email address through ordinary ad delivery.

Servers may record non-personally identifying or technical information concerning Internet use, including:

• The server being accessed
• The geographic location of the user's Internet service provider
• Browser type
• IP address

This information may be used to target advertisements and measure advertising effectiveness for clients and customers.

A user may provide personal information when responding to an advertisement containing a survey, purchase agreement, or registration questionnaire. In those cases, the sites—or a third party working with them and the advertiser—may collect the information on the advertiser's behalf so the user can receive requested goods or services.

When requested, collected information may also be compiled without identifying individual users to provide advertisers with profiles of the types of people responding to advertisements.

P3P

The Platform for Privacy Preferences, or P3P, enables advertising networks and websites to publish privacy policies in a machine-readable format. A compatible browser can compare those statements with a user's preferences and notify the user when a site's practices match—or warn when they do not.

The affiliated sites state that this technology has been incorporated into their advertising servers and that the published syntax reflects their privacy policy.

Cookies

The affiliated sites may use cookies to improve browsing and understand how users respond to advertisements. When an advertisement is first served, a unique random number may be assigned to the user's browser.

This cookie can help track how many times an advertisement is viewed and prevent the same advertisement from being shown repeatedly. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but users can generally change their browser settings to restrict or prevent their use.

Third-Party Measurement Services

Advertisers may use third-party providers to serve advertisements and measure campaign performance. These companies may use cookies and 1-by-1-pixel technologies to assess and improve advertising effectiveness.

Information collected by these providers may include:

• The date and time of a visit
• The banner advertisement displayed
• A third-party cookie identifier
• The user's IP address
• URLs of websites visited

This information may also be used for online preference marketing or profiling. The affiliated sites state that they do not control information collected by third-party measurement services and are not responsible for those services' actions.

Disclosure

Personal information may be disclosed when required by law and when there is a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to comply with a law-enforcement investigation, judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on an advertising server or website.

Policy Changes

Changes to the privacy policy will be posted on the policy page so users can remain informed about what information is collected, how it is used, and when it may be disclosed.

The policy states that information submitted under the current policy will not later be used in a new way without first giving the user an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prevent that use.
