1. Collection of Personal Information from Site Visitors
Aspen may collect and/or track (1) the home server domain names, e-mail addresses, type of client computer, and type of Web browser of visitors to Aspen's Web site, (2) the e-mail addresses of visitors that communicate with Aspen via e-mail, (3) information knowingly provided by the visitor in online forms, registration forms, surveys, and contest entries (including demographic and personal profile data), and (4) aggregate and user-specific information on the pages visitors access.
Aspen may place Internet "cookies" on visitors' hard drives. Internet cookies may save data about individual visitors, such as the visitor's name, password, user-name, shopping cart, screen preferences, the pages of a site viewed by the visitor, and the advertisements viewed or clicked on by the visitor. When the visitor revisits Aspen's Web sites and other Wolters Kluwer companies' sites, the sites may recognize the visitor by the Internet cookie and customize the visitor's experience accordingly. Visitors may not decline or disable Internet cookies while visiting Aspen's Web sites, as the sites may not function properly.
Visitors have the right to delete the Internet cookies placed on the visitors' hard drives at any time. Doing so will erase the data about the individual visitor such that when the visitor revisits Aspen's Web sites and other Wolters Kluwer companies' sites (in a new session), the sites will not recognize the visitor.
When a visitor performs a search within Aspen's Web site, Aspen may record information identifying the visitor or linking the visitor to the search performed. Aspen may also record limited information for every search request and use that information only to solve technical problems with the service and to calculate overall usage statistics.

Aggregate data on visitors' home servers may be used for internal purposes or provided to third parties, such as advertisers. Individually identifying information, such as names, postal and e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and other personal information which visitors voluntarily provide to Aspen may be added to Aspen's databases and used for future calls and mailings regarding site updates, new products and services, upcoming events, and status of orders placed online.

In particular, when a visitor places an order on this site (if any) or accesses his or her account information (if any), Aspen offers the visitor the ability to use a secure server. The secure server encrypts all information a visitor inputs before it is sent to Aspen, and is also used to securely store personal information. Please be advised, however, that while Aspen has endeavored to create a secure and reliable site for visitors, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from Aspen via this site or e-mail cannot be guaranteed. Accordingly, Aspen is not responsible for the security of information transmitted via the Internet.
