GPSEC respects and protects the privacy of the individuals that use the GPSEC search engine services ("GPSEC Search Services"). Individually identifiable information about you is not wilfully disclosed to any third party without first receiving your permission, as explained in this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy").

When you first visit GPSEC, GPSEC sends a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a piece of data that identifies you as a unique user. GPSEC uses cookies to improve the quality of our service and to understand our user base more. GPSEC does this by storing user preferences in cookies and by tracking user trends and patterns of how people search. GPSEC will not disclose its cookies to third parties except as required by a valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Be aware, however, that some parts of the GPSEC Search Service may not function properly if you refuse cookies.

GPSEC does not collect any unique information about you (such as your name, email address, etc.) except when you specifically and knowingly provide such information. GPSEC notes and saves information such as time of day, browser type, browser language, and IP address with each query. That information is used to verify our records and to provide more relevant services to users. For example, GPSEC may use your IP address or browser language to determine which language to use when showing search results or advertisements.

The sites displayed as search results or linked to by GPSEC Search Services are developed by people over whom GPSEC exercises no control. GPSEC may choose to exhibit its search results in the form of a "URL redirector." When GPSEC uses a URL redirector, if you click on a URL from a search result, information about the click is sent to GPSEC, and GPSEC in turn sends you to the site you clicked on. GPSEC uses this URL information to understand and improve the quality of GPSEC's search technology. For instance, GPSEC uses this information to determine how often users are satisfied with the first result of a query and how often they proceed to later results.

GPSEC may share information about you with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties. However, we only divulge aggregate information about our users and will not share personally identifiable information with any third party without your express consent. For example, we may disclose how frequently the average GPSEC user visits GPSEC. Please be aware, however, that we will release specific personal information about you if required to do so in order to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order.

By using the GPSEC Search Services and our web site, you consent to the collection and use of your information as we have outlined in this policy and to our Terms of Service Policy. GPSEC may decide to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of the information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
