Information that we collect

Transparen Corporation collects information about visitors through our Contact Us form, through personal correspondence, and through our site logs, which record:

• What pages have been viewed
• What IP (Internet Protocol) address each page was sent to (view your ip address)
• The time and date that the page was retrieved
• The web browser that fetched the page
• Who referred the reader to the page

• We may contact you with more information about Transparen Corporation;
• We may respond to your specific inquiries;
• We may improve our services, service offerings, and marketing materials.

Our web server logs are used in the following ways:

• We assign rewards (monetary compensation) to affiliate marketing firms for referring paying visitors to our site;

Cookies

Our website may ask your web browser to store a cookie. Cookies are typically used by websites either to track visitors or to maintain server-side variables relating to visits (such as for maintaining logged-on status in sites that require you to log in). If our site requests that you store a cookie, it is for the latter purpose of maintaining server-side variables related to your temporary session. The purpose of maintaining these variables is to improve your browsing experience. For example, our programs might remember your favorite font size, and apply this preference to each page that you visit.

What we do not do

• We do not sell or share lists of email addresses to other companies.
• We do not release your information to third parties without your expressed permission.
