Privacy Policy
Introduction
We at ICS are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection of any Personal Information you share with us.
Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, first and last name, home address and an email address or other contact information. In general, you can visit ICS Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.
ICS strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, ICS intends to adhere to the principles set forth in this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above, we transfer your Personal Information from your country to countries that may not require an "adequate" level of protection for your Personal Information. In other words, our goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Some of our Web pages utilize "cookies" and other tracking technologies. A "cookie" is file that may be used to collect information about Web site activity.
Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Web site.
Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; click stream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed.
Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.
To protect your privacy, we follow some principles:
- Where ICS collects Personal Information on the web, we intend to post a purpose statement that explains why Personal Information will be collected and whether we plan to share such Personal Information outside of ICS or those working on behalf ICS. ICS does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on ICS behalf unless such transfer is legally required.
- You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to ICS. The notice we intend to provide where ICS collects Personal Information on the Web should help you to make this choice. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request, you can still visit most of ICS Web sites, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction with you.
- Wherever your Personal Information may be held within ICS or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.
What information do we collect?

- When ordering or registering, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information or other information. You may, however, visit our site anonymously.

How do we use your information?
We may use the information we collect from you when you register,
purchase products, enter a contest or promotion, respond to a survey or

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.

Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice, except as described below. The term "outside parties" does not include ICS. It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
