We Protect Your Rights to Privacy
Cornerstone respects your privacy.  Our guidelines for protecting the information you provide us during a visit to our Web site appear below.  Furthermore, Cornerstone is a registered licensee of TRUSTe.  TRUSTe is an independent, non-profit initiative whose mission is to build users' trust and confidence in the Internet by promoting the principles of full disclosure and informed consent.  Because we want to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy, we have agreed to disclose our information practices and to have our privacy practices reviewed and audited for compliance by TRUSTe. These include:

• What information we gather
• How we use the information
• With whom we share the information
• How your personal information is used
• Our policy on correcting and updating personally identifiable information
• Our policy on deleting or deactivating your name from our database

What Information We Gather
If you browse Cornerstone's website, you do so anonymously.  We don’t collect personal information — including your email address unless you voluntarily submit it to us.  We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which parts of our website you visit and how long you spend there.  But we do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable.  The only other information automatically provided to us is the type of computer and operating system you are using.  Your browser supplies us with this information.

Use of Cookies
Cornerstone may use cookies from time to time. A cookie is a unique text file that a Web site can send to your browser software.  Cookies enable a Web site to tailor information presented to you based on your browsing preferences. If you are a client, we will use cookies to store information about your user account and any information related to the web services we provide to you. If you do not want Cornerstone to deploy cookies in your browser, you can set your browser to reject cookies or to notify you when a Web site tries to put a cookie in your browser software. Our web-based software Excluded Party Search System (EPSS™) Online Search Engine requires the use of cookies.

Click-Through
In some of our customer email communication, we may use a device called a "click-through URL." When you click on one of these URLs, you pass through our system before arriving at the website that is your true destination.  Cornerstone uses click-throughs to determine the level of interest in particular topics and to measure the effectiveness of our communications.  We do not share this data with anyone, and we make no attempt to match click-throughs to particular email addresses.

Personal Information
At times we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, such as your email address and postal address, for purposes such as corresponding with us, registering for a 30-day free trial account at our site, maintaining user accounts, registering a new user, or participating in an online survey.  When you sign up for web-based services with Cornerstone, for example, we collect your organization name, address, phone number, organization web site address, contact name, title, phone and fax numbers, and email addresses.  When you create User IDs for the web-based services, you are required to provide the user's e-mail address so that it can be used in retrieving the user's password if it is lost or forgotten.

Use of Your E-mail Address
We will not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information such as your name, e-mail address, account, password, or usage history to others.  If you request technical support online, we will ask you for information necessary to complete the transaction — such as your name, e-mail address, phone number, organization, version of the software you are using, and the nature of the problem you are experiencing.

Notification of Changes
If we change our privacy policy, we will post a notice on our site so our users are aware of the change in what information we collect, how we use it, and/or under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.  If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by e-mail.  Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their previously submitted information in this different manner.  Users may choose to have their information used in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
