Other Information We May Collect

IP Addresses that are recorded for anonymous statistical website traffic purposes are not linked to the identity of any individual. That is to say that in addition to your personal information, we may also collect non-identifiable information passively using "cookies" and other web-tracking technologies.
A cookie is a small file containing information that a website creates when you visit it. A cookie can track how and when you use a website and can store that information. The Pathway Group tracks your visits within our website using server-side session management technology, which replaces the use of client-side cookies (the technology used on most websites) and provides visitors with the added benefit of not having information written to or read from their machines via traditional cookies. The Pathway Group uses the information it collects to determine the type of information that you are looking for on our website and to improve our website. The Pathway Gruop uses information about the site you visited immediately prior to our site to assess the viability of links to our site that we have created on third party sites.

In addition to server - side session management technology, The Pathway Group uses the following:

Visitor website IP addresses are used anonymously to gather broad demographic information and to help diagnose problems with The Pathway Group’s server and to administer our website. "Path-tracking" information, such as "pages loaded", is recorded anonymously to provide data pertaining to general popularity of website areas.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

The Pathway Group makes all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that personal information collected from you is protected against loss and unauthorized access. Personal information is collected and stored in a secure manner supervised by The Pathway Group. Access to your personal information is restricted to selected The Pathway Group employees or representatives. In addition, The Pathway Group employs generally accepted information security techniques, such as firewalls, access control procedures and cryptography, to protect personal information against loss and unauthorized access.

Retention of Your Personal Information

The Pathway Group retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected and to comply with applicable laws.

Links to Third Party Sites

This website offers links to other websites. You should be aware that operators of linked websites may also collect your personal information (including information generated through the use of cookies) when you link to their websites.
