Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2023
At GNS, we take your privacy very seriously. We are NOT in the business of selling, renting or disclosing your personally identifiable information to others. We have created this statement to describe our commitment to your privacy.
We record IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer) to track sessions on our site. Tracking gives us an idea of which parts and pages of our site users are visiting, how often they visit them, and how long they spend there. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that even if your session is tracked, you still remain anonymous. We also track browser type and platform. We use this information to deliver customized information specific to a particular platform and to determine the "mix" of browser types accessing our site. This information helps us make our site operate correctly with your browser. However, if you:
- Purchase a product from GNS
- Sign up for a mailing list or enter a contest
- Fill out a survey, or sign onto a page that requires authorization
- Or enter into any other transaction with us,
You may be asked to provide us your name, e-mail address, phone number, fax number, postal address, credit card number (for purchases), and possibly other personal information. Additional demographic information may be optionally requested in order to improve our service to our customers. We may use the information you provide to:
- Keep you informed of new releases of our products.
- Provide helpful hints and tips on how to use our products.
- Make special offers that we extend only to our registered customers.
- Improve our site and the services we offer you.
In limited cases, we may share your registration information (name, address, etc.) with the manufacturer of a product you purchase from us of -- but only when we inform you in advance of your purchase of the particular product.

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

However, some firewalls and certain versions of browsers don't permit communication through secure servers.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline.

The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
