2.1 In general, you can visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself (such as your name, company, phone number, address or email address). Our web server collects IP addresses to obtain certain aggregate information concerning the use of our website. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web. We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information.
2.2 Our website utilizes standard technology called "cookies" - small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on the user's hard drive that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. On our website, cookies are used as an aid to the user experience and to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered through cookies may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, and the time spent at our website. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual. You can, of course, disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of our website will not operate correctly if you disable cookies. You should consult with your browser's provider or manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies.
2.3 You may be asked to give us more specific information about yourself (for example, if you are registering as a Member or seeking information about Cutter Associates or its services). Supplying such information to us is optional, but you may be unable to complete your transaction without providing us with such information.

3.2 We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may, however, use third parties to provide services on our behalf, such as for delivering emails. In addition, if you choose to register for an in-person or virtual Cutter event, the information we collect will be used for organizational purposes. We may share your name, title and firm with the event sponsor(s) and they may use such information for marketing. Similarly, if you download third party content or register for a sponsored webcast, your name, title and firm could be shared with the third party. Contractual agreements between us and such third parties require that your information be kept confidential and secure. You may withdraw your consent and request erasure of your information at any time.

4. Security
4.1 While we take all reasonable precautions to protect personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction, data transmission over the internet may not be adequately secured by the sender.
