Privacy Statement
This privacy policy applies only to the the privacy of users of the penco-info.com web site. It does not apply to the offline activities of Penco Information Retrieval, Inc. or any of its affiliates.

Straight talk about Internet privacy

Penco Information Retrieval, Inc. ("Penco") respects your right to privacy. When you visit this site you may provide information on two different levels about your visit:

- Anonymous statistics collected as you browse the site, and
- Personal information you knowingly give us.


What information does the Web site gather?
Please be assured that we do not collect personal information about you from the website unless you provide it to us. This means that you can visit our Web sites without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself (such as your e-mail address).

As you browse the site, our web servers collect information about your visit, not about you personally. Via web server logs, we monitor statistics such as:

- How many people visit our site
- Which pages people visit on our site
- From which domains our visitors come (e.g., aol.com)
- Which browsers people use to visit our site

None of this information is associated with you as an individual (see information about cookies below). We use these statistics to improve our Web site, to monitor its performance, and to make the Web site easier for you and other visitors to use.

What about pages that ask for personal information?
When visitors supply information about themselves for a specific purpose, we use the information for that purpose (such as to provide the service or information the visitor has requested). For example, you may be asked to give us individual information to use Penco's service, receive information, manage online account registration, or apply for a job. The information may range from your zip code, to your phone number, account number, a credit card number, age, gender, mother's maiden name, social security number, e-mail address, organization URL, resume, or mailing address.

When visitors use our Web site to order services, we may use this personally identifiable information as we would use the same information obtained in a traditional non-electronic manner. For example, to submit your order request, or to evaluate your service needs and contact you regarding additional services you may find useful. If you do not want us to contact you, you can remove your name from our telephone or mail solicitation lists by clicking on
Contact Us.

What happens to information when I fill out registration forms?
The registration forms request accurate contact information (like name and e-mail address) and preferences that help us better serve you. Your name and e-mail address are used to send you information about our company, product updates, special offers, and newsletters. You may change your email, user ID or password online; or you can choose to remove your name from our user list by going to Contact Us and emailing us a request to remove your name.

To improve the services we can offer you, we may decide to expand the site's capabilities for obtaining information about users in the future. We will update this privacy statement as policies change to ensure that you are aware of developments in this area.

Do you sell or give my information to companies outside of Penco?
We do not sell or disclose personally identifiable information obtained online about our visitors, to anyone outside of Penco unless you specifically authorize it, to complete a transaction that you initiated, it is required by law, or disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of customers, employees or property. If you provide personally identifiable information to us in the context of an event Penco sponsors with another company, such as a contest, or if you register on a co-sponsored site or feature, you may also be providing the personally identifiable information to the co-sponsor. This will be made clear to you before you submit the information and you can decide whether or not to participate.

Penco may share non-personally identifiable information with non-Penco companies in order to assess the results of a promotion or event or to enhance your online experience. For example, we may provide statistical information that is not identified with you:

- The number of people who visit the website, which pages were visited and for how long, and the referral URL.
- When we host co-branded versions of the superpages.com site (or portions of the superpages.com site). Our co-branded sites may also contain clear GIFs (electronic images that allow this site to collect anonymous information about your visit to the site).
- Non-personally identifiable information may also be disclosed to non-Penco companies if it is required by law, or disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of customers, employees or property.
This information does not contain any information that would personally identify you.

Does this site send e-mail to site visitors?
At times, online surveys are conducted in which you can choose to participate. In addition, we may use e-mail to communicate with our customers, to respond to visitors' e-mail, to confirm orders placed online, and to send information that a visitor has requested. Occasionally, we may use opt-in e-mail lists from third parties to promote our latest specials. If you receive an unwanted e-mail from us, you can click
Contact Us and simply ask us to remove you from our list.

Do you accommodate links to other sites?
This website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed by other sites. We are committed to safeguarding customer privacy on our website.

What is Penco's position regarding online advertising and third party ad servers?
Penco does not incorporate online advertising on this site.

Non Personally Identifiable Information Collected Automatically

Customers who choose to continually delete cookies and not opt out can have their browser advise them each time a web site attempts to send a cookie to your system. At that time, you can choose to either Accept or Cancel a cookie.

Does Penco use the information provided online to profile its customers?
The combination of offline and online information provided by the customer has the ability to enhance the customer experience, and make the consumer's interaction with Penco more meaningful and relevant. Penco requires notification of any consumer profiling or purchasing behavior being captured by Penco online and combined with offline information be clearly stated to the consumer at the time of online data collection. The consumer will have the ability to choose not to have that information aggregated and be part of subsequent marketing campaigns by so indicating at the point of the application, or by choosing to Opt-Out of future marketing campaigns from Penco by clicking on
Contact Us.

Please note:
We may disclose personal information when required by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law or to comply with a legal process served relating to our web site.
