USE OF COOKIES
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for the visitor by saving the visitor's preferences while the visitor is at Fox Paine's sites. Fox Paine never saves passwords or credit card information in cookies.
By showing how and when visitors use a site, cookies help Fox Paine see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies.

USE OF IP ADDRESSES
An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big computers that "serve up" Web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its IP address.
Fox Paine may collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When visitors request pages from Fox Paine sites, our servers log the visitors' IP addresses. Fox Paine does not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a visitor's session will be logged, but the visitor will remain anonymous to us. Fox Paine can and will use IP addresses to identify a visitor when Fox Paine feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of service or to protect our service, Site, customers, or others. For instance, Fox Paine may disclose visitor information in special cases when Fox Paine has reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Fox Paine's rights or property, other Fox Paine visitors, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Fox Paine may disclose visitor information when Fox Paine believes that the law requires it. Some services within Fox Paine may display IP addresses along with the message poster's name and message. Please review each service prior to use and only use those that disclose information you are comfortable with sharing.
SECURITY
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while Fox Paine strives to protect visitors' personal information, Fox Paine cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information visitors transmit to Fox Paine or from Fox Paine's online products or services, and visitors do so at their own risk.
