Automatic Collection of Anonymous Information
When you visit the Matrix website, like when you visit most other websites,
certain anonymous information about your visit is automatically logged,
which may include information about the type of browser you use, the server
name and IP address through which you access the internet (such as “aol.com”
or “earthlink.net”), the date and time you access the site, the pages
you access while at the Matrix website, and the internet address of the
website, if any, from which you linked directly to the Matrix site. This
information is not personally identifiable.
Personally Identifiable Information is any information that concerns you
individually and would permit someone to contact you, for example, your
name, address, telephone/fax number, social security number, email address
or any information you submitted to matrix.com that identifies you individually.
matrix.com will not collect any personally identifiable information about
you unless you provide it. Therefore, if you do not want matrix.com to
obtain any personally identifiable information about you, do not submit
it.
You can visit and browse the Matrix website without revealing personally
identifiable information about yourself. You may also choose to disclose
personally identifiable information about yourself, which may be maintained
as described below. matrix.com may collect personally identifiable information
about you from its website by methods such as the following:
Registration Forms – If you are offered the opportunity
to enter a promotion, to become a registered user of the Matrix website,
or to opt-in to receive Matrix information through another site, you must
apply by filling out the registration form on the site. This form requires
certain personally identifiable information that may include, without
limitation, your name, email address, postal address, telephone number,
