This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Community Services Group for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Community Services Group Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Community Services Group public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Community Services Group does not read any of your private online communications.

Community Services Group encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Community Services Group so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Community Services Group is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Community Services Group and Community Services Group family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

Community Services Group collects and uses your personal information to operate the Community Services Group Web site and deliver the services you have requested. Community Services Group also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Community Services Group and its affiliates. Community Services Group may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Community Services Group does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.

Community Services Group Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Community Services Group or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Community Services Group; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Community Services Group, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The Community Services Group Web site use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Community Services Group pages, or register with Community Services Group site or services, a cookie helps Community Services Group to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Community Services Group Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Community Services Group features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Community Services Group services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

Community Services Group secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Community Services Group secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

Community Services Group will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Community Services Group encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Community Services Group is protecting your information.
