Online Privacy Policy

Introduction
The Barsa companies (“Barsa”) respects each individual's right to personal privacy. Barsa strongly believes that if online activities are to flourish, users must be assured that information provided online is used responsibly and appropriately. To protect online privacy, Barsa has implemented the following policy.

Most data Barsa collects is used only to help Barsa better serve its clients. It is our general policy to collect and store only personal information that our clients and visitors knowingly provide. If our privacy policies change, we will notify all users by e-mail or a special announcement placed on the Web site.

Barsa does not collect any personal information from users browsing its Web site. Users to the public areas of Barsa's Web site browse anonymously. Only aggregate data -- such as the number of hits per page -- are collected. Aggregate data are only used for internal and marketing purposes and do not provide any personally identifying information.

Part II. Use of Cookies
Cookies are files that contain information created by a web server that can be stored on a user's hard disk for use either during a particular session ("per-session" cookie) or for future use ("persistent" cookie). Barsa uses cookies only to facilitate automated activity, store and track passwords, determine appropriate solicitations, and review navigation patterns. Cookies are not used to disseminate significant information about Users over the Internet or to analyze any information that Users have knowingly or unknowingly provided. When a user registers, the system will ask whether the user approves of the attachment of a cookie. Users may instruct their Internet browsers to opt out of accepting a "persistent" cookie and rather accept only a "per-session" cookie, but will need to login each time they visit the site to enjoy the full benefits. If the user declines the attachment of any cookie, the user may not have access to the full benefits of the website. Registration enables the site to better determine members' interest areas and provide the most relevant information.

Part III. Access to Information
Barsa maintains the accuracy of our information by contacting registered users directly via email and phone. Registered visitors can access their personal information online and change it at any time by logging in to their personal account through Barsa's client logon. Users may delete their information from our database by sending an email requesting deletion to info@barsaco.com.

Part IV. Data Storage and Security
Barsa protects user information with the following security measures: all registered user information is stored in databases protected by firewalls, user IDs and passwords and other commercially reasonable security measures.
