designed to help you understand how we gather, use and protect
that personal and financial information.
information collection, use & disclosure
We do not collect any personal information online. We do
not give out your personal information unless we are authorized or
permitted to do so. We do not sell your personal information
to any third parties. You may browse our web site anonymously, and we will not
collect personal information such as your e-mail address. In
order to evaluate the usefulness of our site, we also gather and analyze
data regarding usage of the site, such as domain name, number of
hits, pages visited and length of user session.
use of cookies
What is a cookie? A cookie is a small piece of information placed on
your computer by the Web site you are visiting. It allows
the Web site to "remember" or "recognize" your computer
during subsequent visits. Although different Web sites use
cookies for different purposes, one important function is to allow
a site to personalize your experience. For example, a cookie
can be used to designate start pages within a site, or to indicate
an area of interest to you on a Web site. Web sites may use two types of cookies.
Temporary cookies are stored on your computer only during
your browsing session, and are automatically deleted from your
computer when you close your browser. Permanent cookies are stored on your computer and
are not deleted when you close your browser. Permanent
cookies retain your preferences for a particular Web site,
allowing those preferences to remain for future browsing sessions. We do not use cookies on this Web site.
e-mail privacy
We
preserve the content of your e-mail, your e-mail address and our
response so that we can more efficiently handle any follow-up
questions you may have and to meet legal and regulatory
requirements. It is important to understand that regular
non-encrypted Internet e-mail is not secure. Some
Fund-related Internet e-mail addresses are provided, but these are
for information inquiries of a non-sensitive and non-confidential
nature.
We strongly urge you not to send confidential information such as
social security or account numbers to us via a non-secure e-mail
address. Because our e-mail response back to you would not be secure, we
will not include confidential account information in an e-mail
response. You may also contact us by phone, fax or U.S.
mail.
