COLLECTED INFORMATION
Anonymous Information
You can visit the Site to read information about our company, products, and services without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. To improve the usefulness of our site, ScoutMedia does track and analyze non-identifying, aggregate usage, and volume statistical information from our visitors and customers to administer our Site, to constantly improve the quality of our service and site performance. Information gathered will include the following, but not limited to, the activity of the user’s browser when user is viewing the site, the site path of visitors, and the time visitors come to our site. ScoutMedia reserves the right to use this anonymous, aggregate summary information regarding its site visitors for internal purposes. Please note that this is not personal information, only general summaries of our visitors.
Personally Identifiable Information
When we need information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you, we will explicitly ask you for it. For example, if you choose to register for updates or to download media clips, we may collect your name, address, telephone number, level of scouting experience or business name, and e-mail address. The personal information we collect from you will be used by ScoutMedia to provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or authorized, and may also be used to request additional information on feedback that you provide about the product or service that you are using; to provide critical updates and notifications; to improve the product or service, or to tell you about new product releases. Except as described in this statement, personal information you provide will not be transferred to third parties without your consent. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as sending and delivering purchases and other mailings, and answering customer questions about products or services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. Site visitors may wish to request information about our products and services, or to download specific documents on the Site. ScoutMedia visitors will be requested to provide information, such as, but not limited to, name, company, years of scouting experience, areas of expertise, title, phone number, e-mail address and address. ScoutMedia uses the information that we collect on the Site to contact visitors to further discuss their interest in our company, our services, and to send information regarding our company or partners, such as marketing promotions, and to improve the services we provide you. The information is collected and stored in a manner appropriate to the nature of the data and is used to fulfill your request and is not provided to third parties for their use. ScoutMedia uses secured server areas and advanced firewall technology to minimize the risk of individually identifiable information being compromised. ScoutMedia also takes every effort to ensure that the information users provide is correct and current. Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served on our Web site.
How does the ScoutMedia comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998?
This legislation applies only to Web sites of a commercial nature. However, ScoutMedia considers it to provide sound advice for any Web site that is intended for use by children. Therefore, ScoutMedia does not use its Web site to collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. Any input form that requests personally identifiable information that appears on an interface that is expected to be viewed by children under 13 years of age is accompanied by a notice that submissions cannot be accepted from users under 13 years of age. Where "age" or "date of birth" is requested, no information will be stored or transmitted unless the response indicates that the user is 13 years of age or older. Providing personal information is a prerequisite for accessing some of the content or resources on this Web site. Registration for updates and survey results allow us to create media targeted to audience interest.
Collection and Use of Information About Your Computer
ScoutMedia software may contain features that automatically: a) check for version of software you are running with the latest version available from ScoutMedia for purposes of notifying you of updates, and b) collects information from your ScoutMedia application and sends it to ScoutMedia. This computer information is not personally identifiable. These features are turned on by default, so that we can collect enough information about how the product is working to keep your software up-to-date and improve the commercially released product. Information that is collected by or sent to ScoutMedia may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which ScoutMedia or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities.
How does ScoutMedia use the information it collects?
The information collected is used to monitor the usage of this Web site and the interests of those who use it. Data such as the volume of traffic to the server, the number of visitors a certain section of the site receives each month, or the most popular search terms are analyzed to derive general statistics about the site's reach and the audience's usage patterns. Personally identifiable information is used only for the express purpose for which it was submitted. For example, if a user enters their contact information in the "registration" form for ScoutMedia, the information will be used to correspond with them regarding the registration and to inform them of items related to ScoutMedia’s core objectives. Users are allowed the opportunity to opt in for “value added” opportunities from outside vendors or companies. Data entered by the user may be collected in a common repository, including terms entered into the search engine, ZIP codes entered into a zip code locator, etc. This data helps us identify areas in which ScoutMedia is finding market acceptance.

Cookies come in two flavors: session and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you've closed your browser or turned off your computer. Cookies do not identify you personally. They merely recognize your browser, unless you choose to identify yourself voluntarily. You may choose to identify yourself for any one of the following reasons: asking the browser to remember your username and password, by responding to a promotional offer, when personalizing a Web page or requesting more information on a product or service, otherwise you remain as an anonymous Web site visitor.
How We Use Cookies
When you interact with the Site, we strive to make that experience easy and meaningful. When you come to the Site, our Web server uses cookies to improve our visitors' interaction with our site.

This allows ScoutMedia to process your saved login information and quickly log you into the product. Session cookies also help us make sure you are who you say you are after you've logged in.
ScoutMedia uses persistent cookies, that only ScoutMedia can read and use, to identify the fact that you are an ScoutMedia customer or a prior ScoutMedia Web site visitor (whatever the case may be). We are especially careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies.

Agilix also implements an advanced security method based on dynamic data and encoded session identifications, and hosts the product in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. Finally, ScoutMedia provides unique usernames and passwords that must be entered each time a customer logs on. These safeguards help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of Data.
