PinnacleOne tracks and gathers information users provide through optional, voluntary registrations throughout our site, including certain contact forms, surveys, data that is voluntarily transmitted to PinnacleOne, and data PinnacleOne gathers through aggregating tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our site. Such information enables us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our company to better understand the demographics of our audience.

This data allows us to measure and report information on our customers, such as the number of browsers who see a particular page or article, the number of people who click on a page, and how many times we delivered the article. We may aggregate and use this data internally for statistical and reporting purposes.

Surveys
Occasionally PinnacleOne conducts user surveys to better target information to our audience or improve any of the services we provide for a specific market sector. The personally identifiable information collected will not be used or shared with any other third party entities, and only generic survey information derived may be published on PinnacleOne's website.

2. What are "cookies" and how does PinnacleOne's website use them?

Websites use "cookies" to store member names and passwords. Cookies allow us to both store and retrieve login information through a user's browser. A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a website to the hard drive of your computer so that the website may identify you and track your activities on the website. This unique number identifies your browser, not you. Since cookies are only text files, they cannot run on your computer, search your computer or transmit any information to anyone.

Cookies help us to:

• Measure traffic patterns. Without cookies, it could be difficult for PinnacleOne to know that certain services are in more demand than others. This information helps us to better understand which services need to be improved or changed to meet user needs.

• Estimate audience size. Cookies help us know whether or not users have seen particular articles, publications, products, or even services, so as to make sure that the content we post is informative, educational, and a valuable tool to our constituents.

• Identify who you are through your browser settings so that PinnacleOne's website can offer and provide personalized services, such as remembering your preferences like your user name and password so that you will not have to re-enter them the next time you visit.

The use of cookies is now an industry standard, and you will find them used on most major websites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can reset your browser either to notify you when you have received a cookie, or to refuse to accept cookies. However, please understand that doing so may then cause certain webpages not to function properly.

3. How does PinnacleOne use the information?

Any personal or non-personal information you provide PinnacleOne's website when registering for services is maintained and accessible only by PinnacleOne. PinnacleOne requests information from its users so that users can enjoy customized experiences across PinnacleOne's website, including personalization services, interactive communications, and other types of content and services.

PinnacleOne uses this information to:
Perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our registered users and visitors, to measure user demographics and interests regarding specific areas of PinnacleOne's website.
