Geoscape believes that the responsible use of personal information is critical to the continued success of the Internet. As such, we are committed to the highest standards in protecting and safeguarding your right to privacy while using and interacting with our Website.
While you can access most areas of our Website without submitting any personal data, there are certain areas of our site that request specific personal information including name, phone number, and e-mail address. Our intent is to allow you as much control as possible over your personal information. Below we explain how Geoscape collects, stores, and uses your information.
Data Collection Overview
Automatic Collection of Anonymous Information: When you visit Geoscape.com, as when you visit most other websites, certain anonymous information about your visit is automatically logged.

All information provided by the visitor is voluntary, with information generally including name, title, company, e-mail and telephone number. We will sometimes use this information to contact visitors for marketing, sales, service and support purposes.
