LexisNexis, a division of Reed Elsevier,
Inc., and/or its affiliates
("LexisNexis"). This Online Privacy
Policy only applies to information
collected through our website. It does
not apply to information collected in
any other way, including information
collected offline. Other LexisNexis

INFORMATION COLLECTION
I. Personally Identifiable
Information
Personally identifiable information
("PII") collected with your consent may
include, for example, name, mailing
address, e-mail address, telephone
number, fax number, occupation, any
information you provide to us when
placing an order or using the services
on our website, any responses you choose
to provide to survey questions,
information provided in connection with
subscribing to a newsletter, any
inquiries you may make through our
website, or any other PII you provide to
us through our website.
In addition, we collect information,
including PII, in connection with
attempts to log-in to our products and
services through our website and the
actions taken by users while they are
logged into our online products and
services. This may include, for example,
collecting information pertaining to
searches conducted, the pages visited
during the online session, and any or
all other interactions that the user may
have with our systems while the user is
logged into one of our products or
services.
II. Cookies
Our website may use browser
"cookies", local shared objects, or
other technologies.
Browser cookies are small pieces of
information that are stored by your
browser on your computer. Browser
cookies, for example, may be used by our
website to help us manage your visit to
our website or determine whether a
visitor is unique or whether a visitor
has viewed our website before. While
most browsers are set to accept cookies
by default, you can set yours to refuse
cookies or to alert you before accepting
them. Your browser manufacturer has
information on changing the default
setting for your specific browser.
Deleting or refusing to accept cookies
from our website, however, may limit
your ability to use some portions of our
website which require the use of cookies
to operate effectively.
Our website also may use local shared
objects, also known as "Flash cookies"
to store your preferences or display
content based upon what you view on our
website to personalize your visit. Flash
cookies are different from browser
cookies because of the amount of, type
of, and how data is stored. Cookie
management tools provided by your
browser will not remove Flash cookies.

Third Parties, with whom we may
partner to provide certain features on
our website or to display advertising
based upon your Web browsing activity,
may use browser cookies or Flash cookies
to collect and store information.
III. Non-personally
Identifiable Information
Our website also may collect
non-personally identifiable information.
For example, as you browse our website
we may collect information about your
visit. Via Web server logs, for example,
we may monitor statistics such as: the
number of people that visit our website,
which page(s) are visited on our
website, from which domain our visitors
come (e.g., google.com, microsoft.com),
and which browsers people use to visit
our website (e.g., Safari, Microsoft
Internet Explorer, etc.). We also may
compile statistics that show the numbers
and frequency of visitors to our website
and its individual pages. These
aggregated statistics may be used
internally to improve our website and
for product development and marketing
purposes generally. The aggregated
statistics may also be provided to
advertisers and other third parties, but
again, the statistics contain no PII.
Our website also may use outsourcing
programs to assist us in analyzing this
data to better our website.

CHOICE

optional message that you elect to send
along with our e-mail. We will not

(although we may retain your friend's

messages from us).

your organization's customer agreement(s)

We may also outsource some tasks,
including the operation of certain
website functions that require access to
information you supply online and
information about your visits to our
website. In such cases, however, we

acquired by another company, that
company will assume responsibility for
the personal information collected by us
through our website and it will assume

information collected through our
website, as described in this privacy
policy.
If you choose to make information
available to other people through
instant messages, group chats,
electronic mail messages, blog postings,
your networking profile (if any),
registering for an event, or by joining
groups or using other networking
functions that we may offer on our
website, this information will be
visible to third parties. Please take
care in deciding what information you
choose to make available through these
mechanisms, as we do not control the
manner in which recipients or persons
who may see the information may use or

Finally, please note that we may
disclose personal information when
required by law or in the good faith
belief that such action is necessary in

process or is pertinent to judicial or
governmental investigations or
proceedings.
