Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. As part of the operation of VAP, we gather certain types of information about VAP users, and we would like to explain the types of information we gather, what we do with it and how to correct or change the information.

INFORMATION COLLECTED BY VAP
VAP collects two types of personally identifying information from users: personal data (such as names and e-mail addresses); and aggregated data (such as information about traffic patterns VAP, for example how many users log into VAP on a daily basis).

PERSONAL DATA
Personal data is collected when users provide personal data to VAP, for example in registering for membership services, in answering surveys, purchasing items from VAP, and registering for added services provided by VAP. Also, we collect the e-mail addresses of users who contact us with comments and suggestions.

AGGREGATED INFORMATION
Aggregated information, such as which pages users access or visit and information volunteered by users, such as survey information and/or site registrations, is collected through various methods. For example, VAP collects IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages; automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from VAP, our servers log your IP address. VAP does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us. VAP collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide aggregate data to advertisers about the volume of use on VAP.
