At Virtual Mechanics we understand that privacy is one of the biggest concerns for Internet users. Virtual Mechanics respects the privacy of every person who visits our Web site. We've created this statement to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy and to show the value we place on the information you provide to us.
About Information You Volunteer
In various places on the Virtual Mechanics Web site, we may request personal information from you. This might include your name, e-mail address, or other contact info.
We use this information for a variety of purposes:
- To send you our electronic newsletter, if you've requested it.
- To alert you about new products or product updates.
- To provide you with information you have requested about the company or about our products.
- To classify our users and correspondents so that we can better track the issues, concerns and preferences of those groups and, ultimately, deliver products and services that more accurately meet their needs.
If you have applied to take part in a beta program we may request a variety of personal and technical information. We use this to improve our products and to contact you if necessary when you report a problem or offer a suggestion.
Virtual Mechanics does not sell information it collects to other companies or partners. All information collected is for Virtual Mechanics' use only.
For visitors to our site who are under 18 years of age we strongly recommend that you obtain the permission of a parent or guardian before providing us with any information.

About Information We Collect Automatically

Examples of this type of information include the type of computer operating system you use, your Internet browser, and your domain name and IP address.
