What Information is Collected:

The Wackenhut Corporation collects certain information from and about its users in two ways -- directly from the user or from our Web server logs.

User-Supplied Information: When you sign up for a service or as a contractor we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, and some other personal information. The more accurate information you volunteer, the better we are able to address your need.

Server Log Information: When you visit an Internet Web site, you disclose certain information about yourself, such as your Internet [Protocol] (IP) address, the time of your visit, and the referring location (e.g., the Site or page that offered a link to a The Wackenhut Corporation page). The Wackenhut Corporation, like many other sites, records this basic information about visits to its site.

You should remember that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online, at this or any other site, such as on message boards, through e-mail, discussion groups, or in chat areas, your information can be collected and used by others. Although The Wackenhut Corporation tries to protect your personal information, The Wackenhut Corporation cannot absolutely guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us. However, once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. You are also solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords you set up and/or any account information.

How and When Information is Used:

We use information in different ways, depending on the type of information:

User-supplied information: This information is used for purposes such as personalization and verification.

Web Server Logs: This information helps us identify which areas of our site are of interest to our visitors. The Wackenhut Corporation also collects the Internet [Protocol] (IP) addresses of its visitors for the purposes of system administration.

How We Protect Your Information:

The privacy and protection of your personal information is vitally important to us. The Wackenhut Corporation does not make personal information available to any third parties without your permission. Any user statistics that we may supply are provided in the aggregate only and do not include any personally identifiable information about any individual user.

Your access to some services and content may be password protected. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. The Wackenhut Corporation will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. You should not disclose your user name and password to others. In addition, if applicable, you should remember to sign out of your The Wackenhut Corporation account or service at the end of each session. You may also wish to close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.

Who Has Access to the Information:

Except as described below, The Wackenhut Corporation will not willfully disclose any individually identifiable information about its users to any third party without first receiving that user's permission. The Wackenhut Corporation may disclose personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or to protect the rights or property of The Wackenhut Corporation.

When you are at the The Wackenhut Corporation site and asked for personal information, you share that information with The Wackenhut Corporation alone, unless the service is offered in conjunction with another party. In order to provide such co-branded services to you, it may be necessary for us to share your personal information with the company offering the co-branded service. If you do not want your data to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of data by not using that particular service.

How to Correct Inaccuracies:

If you use any The Wackenhut Corporation services, we may send you a confirmation e-mail confirming your new account and/or service. The message will be sent to the address that you supplied us and will describe ways for you to change or delete the account information provided. Remember to keep the confirmation e-mail as it will also contain information that will help you in case you run into problems accessing our services.
