If you do nothing during your visit to our web site but browse, read pages, or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit. This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:
The Internet Protocol Address and domain name used. The Internet Protocol address is a numerical identifier assigned either to your Internet service provider or directly to your computer. We use the Internet Protocol Address to direct Internet traffic to you. This address can be translated to determine the domain name of your service provider (e.g. xcompany.com or yourschool.edu). Generally, the Site only determines visitor domain names if a security issue is suspected;
The type of browser and operating system you used;
The date and time you visited this site;
The web pages or services you accessed at this site; and
The web site you visited prior to coming to this web site.
Information
is collected for statistical purposes and to help manage the site.
The web site may use software programs to create summary statistics,
which are used for such purposes as assessing what information is of
most and least interest, determining technical design specifications,
and identifying system performance or problem areas.
For site
security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available
to all users, the web site may employ software programs to monitor
network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change
information, or otherwise cause damage. Except for authorized law
enforcement investigations and the security purposes mentioned
elsewhere in this notice, no other attempts are made to identify
individual users or their usage habits.

Source strives to collect the minimum information necessary.
Pro Bid Source does not sell, rent or otherwise distribute visitor's information, including electronic mail addresses, to any outside company or organization, unless legally required to do so.

"Personal information" is information about a natural person that is readily identifiable to that specific individual. Personal information includes such things as an individual's name, address, and phone number. A domain name or Internet Protocol address is not considered personal information.

You may choose not to contact us by e-mail, participate in a survey, provide personal information using an online form, or engage in an electronic transaction. However, some information available through this site is specific to individual users. Visitors interested in viewing this user specific information are requested to sign up for a password-protected account.
