Telcordia Privacy Practices

Your privacy and the privacy of every user of the Telcordia www.telcordia.com web site is of the highest priority. That is why we want you to understand how we protect your privacy when we gather information from you and the measures we take to safeguard that information.

Automatically Collected Information

When you enter our site, certain information about your visit is automatically collected through our standard web server log files. Automatically collected information does not identify you personally. This information is used to make our site more useful to visitors. Specifically, we use this information to learn about the number of visitors to our site, to track topics and areas of interest, to gather technical information that is useful in improving site performance, and to identify possible problem areas.

Requested Information

If while browsing our site you decide to register for a course/event, request information, or order a document, you will be required to provide us with contact information. You may also explicitly agree to be placed on a mailing list to receive periodic product announcements. Depending on your request, the contact information collected may include name, street address, email address, fax and telephone number, employer, and, where applicable, credit card information. This information is collected to fulfill your request and, in the case of course/event registration, to provide you with up-to-date status information about your registration.

In the case that you explicitly agree to be placed on a mailing list, we may use your contact information to notify you of other Telcordia products and services that may be of interest to you. If we contact you via email and you wish to opt-out of our future email distributions, you may do so by using the link provided in the email message.

At all times, we are judicious in our use of target advertising and always carefully consider the inconvenience such advertising may cause our customers. We do not sell individual customer names or other personal information to third parties and have no intention of doing so in the future. Occasionally we will share web site usage data with third parties so that we may enhance our on-line product and service offerings or develop advertising campaigns. When we do share such information with such third parties it is under a confidentiality agreement and only for the purpose of completing a specific project. Further, individually identifiable information is never shared in these arrangements - only aggregate data about user behaviors, site traffic, and overall trends.

Securing your Information
Any information that is collected at www.telcordia.com is collected on a secure server, using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. SSL is a proven industry standard that allows your browser to automatically encrypt data before that data is transmitted to us. Your credit card information can only be accessed by a direct and SSL-based link to the server. The URL in your browser will change to "HTTPS" instead of "HTTP" when this security feature is invoked, and most browsers represent a secure connection with a "lock" or "solid key" when connected to a secure site.

Cookies
Cookies are not currently being used at www.telcordia.com. If in the future we decide to use cookies we will update our privacy policy accordingly.

Changing Sites
This privacy policy applies only to www.telcordia.com. You should be aware that through links you may be directed to other sites that we do not control. Telcordia has no control over the privacy policies or practices of these other sites, and is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of web sites to which we link, list, rank, or identify by means of a search. Telcordia takes no responsibility for the products, services, policies or actions of third parties or the content of third party web sites. We encourage you to be aware when you are leaving our site and to read the privacy policies of each site you visit.
