This notice was last updated on March 31, 2003. Whenever you visit the PURSUIT website, we gather general information about your visit -- the site you are coming from, pages or areas you visit on our site, and how long you stay at a particular location on the site. This general information is used only in the aggregate, much like television ratings. This information helps us identify popular areas of our site as well as areas that could use refinement, so that we can keep content on the site fresh and relevant to our readers' interests. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on this data. We do not collect any personally identifiable information from you except when you expressly volunteer it under special circumstances described below, such as subscribing to the PURSUIT mailing list. Personal information is gathered ONLY if you yourself submit it to us. For example, if you join the PURSUIT mailing list, or if you choose to contact us for some other reason, we may ask for personal information such as your name, country of residence, and e-mail address. We may also ask for information about your interests, opinions and background so that we can better interact with you in the future and better understand your needs as a reader. Providing such information is always optional on your part. If you wish to be removed from the PURSUIT mailing list at any time, you can do so by visiting the Unsubscribe From Mailing List page, entering the e-mail address under which you are subscribed, and clicking the SUBMIT button. Information obtained via the PURSUIT website will not be sold, rented, lent or otherwise disclosed to anyone other than Olympus' affiliated companies, which include direct and indirect subsidiaries of Olympus Corporation. Any personal information you may choose to give us is used only to fulfill the service you have requested, such as subscribing to a mailing list.
