We may also collect non-personal information from you and about your use of our Website, and Websites of selected sponsors and advertisers.

3. Cookies
MicroVest
collects anonymous, non-personal information about your use of our Website. For example, we collect non-personal
information about your use of our Website and your use of the sites of selected
sponsors and advertisers through the use of Cookies. Cookies are small computer
files that are transferred to your computer's hard drive and result in
information regarding how often someone visits a site and the activities they
conduct while on that site. Every
computer is assigned a different cookie by us. The information collected by cookies helps us,
if we desire to, dynamically generate advertising and content and allows us to
statistically monitor how many people are using our Website and selected
sponsors' and advertisers' sites, and for what purposes. We may use cookie information to target
certain advertisements to your browser or to determine the popularity of
certain content or advertisements.
Your
browser software can be set to reject all cookies. Most browsers offer instructions on how to
reset the browser to reject cookies in the "Help" section of the
toolbar. If you reject our cookie,
certain of the functions and conveniences of our Website may not work properly
but you do not have to accept our cookie in order to productively use our Website.
While it may be possible to link

ways, we want you to know that if you accept our cookie we will not, without
your consent, link the cookie information we collect to Personal Information
you provide to us on our Website.
4. Web Beacons
In
limited circumstances we also may use Web Beacons to collect anonymous,
non-personal information about your use of our Website and the sites of
selected sponsors and advertisers. Web
beacons are tiny graphic image files imbedded in a web page or email that
provide a presence on the web page or email and send back to its home server
information from the Users' browser. The
information collected by web beacons allows us to statistically monitor how
many people are using our Website and selected sponsors' and advertisers'
sites, and for what purposes. Our web
beacons are not used to track your activity across websites generally. While it may be possible to link non-personal
web beacon information to Personal Information collected in other ways, we want
you to know that we will not, without your consent, link the web beacon
information we collect to Personal Information you provide to us on our Website.

A. Disclosure
to Operations and Maintenance Contractors
Our operations and maintenance
contractors sometimes have limited access to your Personal Information in the
course of providing products or services to us. These contractors include vendors and
suppliers that provide us with technology, services, and/or content related to better
operation and maintenance of our Website. These contractors also may have access to your

necessary in order for the contractor to perform its limited function for us.
B. Disclosure to Website Service and
Content Contractors
Certain content and services offered to

other than MicroVest ("Third Party Contractor Websites"). MicroVest
does not disclose your Personal Information to these Third Party Contractor
Websites without your consent, but you should be aware that any information you
disclose once you access these other sites is not subject to this Privacy
Policy. MicroVest does not endorse and
is not responsible for the privacy practices of these Third Party Contractor
Websites. You should review the privacy
policy posted on the other site to understand how that Third Party Contractor

non-personal information about you that does not allow you to be identified or

technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you

need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means

will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Nevertheless, we promise that upon receiving
your request, all Personal Information stored in the databases we actively use
for research and daily business activities, and other readily searchable media,
will be deleted.

changes to our Privacy Policy affecting the use of the Personal Information we

non-significant changes to our Privacy Policy that generally will not affect
our use of your Personal Information and we generally will not notify you of
these non-significant changes. You
