USE OF IP ADDRESSES:
An IP address is a number
that is automatically assigned
to your computer whenever you
log onto the Web. Web servers --
the big computers that
"serve up" Web pages
-- automatically identify your
computer by its IP address.
Specialty Tech-Shoppe collects IP addresses
for the purposes of system
administration, to report
aggregate information to our
advertisers, and to audit the
use of our site. When site
visitors request pages from the
Web site, our servers log the
visitor's IP addresses. We do
not normally link IP addresses
to anything personally
identifiable, which means that a
user's session will be logged,
but the user remains anonymous
to us. We can and will use IP
addresses to identify a user
when we feel it is necessary to
enforce compliance with our or
Terms of Use or to protect our
service, site, customers, or
others.
Please review each service prior
to use and only use those that
disclose information you are
comfortable with sharing.

visitors' experience, we use
