Security
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information
associated with our users is of utmost concern to us. We use industry
standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally
identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers.
We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and
unauthorized access. We also employ many different security techniques
to protect such data from unauthorized access by users inside and
outside Galleria. Our warning to all our users is that “perfect
security” does not currently exist on the Internet.
IP Addresses
We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration
and to report aggregate information. An IP address is a number that
is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing
the Internet. Web servers – the big computers that “serve”
up Web pages – automatically identify your computer by its IP
address. When users request pages from our web site, our servers log
your IP address. In addition, certain non-personally identifiable
information is recorded by the standard operation of our Internet
servers. This information allows us to keep our web site running efficiently.
The information we record includes the browser (such as Netscape,
Internet Explorer, etc.) and the operating system used (such as Macintosh,
Windows 2000, etc.) by you. Another use of this type of information
includes the number of visitors to the various pages in our web site
but only in a combined and non-personally-identifiable form. E-mail
addresses and other personally identifiable information about users
of our Web Site are known only when voluntarily submitted.
