Protecting your privacy is important to us. We hope the following statement will help you understand how SMI collects, uses, and safeguards the personal information you provide on our web site.

Information Collection: When you browse SMI's web site, you do so anonymously. We don't collect personal information; including your e-mail address. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which parts of our web site you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable. The only other information automatically provided to us is the type of computer and operating system you are using. Your browser supplies us with this information.

At times we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, such as your e-mail address and postal address, for purposes such as corresponding with us, subscribing to our publications, or participating in an online survey. When you subscribe to our publications, for example, we collect your name, and e-mail address. We do not share this data with anyone else, and no one else can access your information.

SMI's privacy statement is subject to change at any time and without notice. Please check here for updates.
