Different parts of the P & RD Directorate website prompt you for different types of information. For example, while we might ask you for just your name and contact information to use our message boards, we ask for a credit-card number if you wish to make a purchase and opt to pay by credit card. Depending on the services you use on our site (or the surveys you respond to or the contests your enter), you might be asked to give us some personal information to help us understand and serve you better. However, any information received from you about your credit card number, telephone number (s) and other financial information, if any, will never be disclosed to any third party and the same would be used solely for profiling our customers to help us serve them better. Also, although you do not submit certain information to us directly, at times we use programs called "cookies" to detect and record your IP address, which is the virtual address of the computer you use to access the Internet. This numerical information helps us understand a few other facts about you, such as the type of computer and software you are using, the Internet Service Provider you use to connect to the Internet, and other broad demographic facts.
