Welcome to the website of Culture USA - Your one site for information on the United States!
The following information is designed to allow you to understand our information gathering
practices and to assure you of our commitment to your privacy. If you have any questions
that are not answered on this page, please contact us.
This page will address the following information:
SHARING OF INFORMATION
Before describing in detail our use of information, we make this commitment to you:
The information you provide or that is collected by CultureUSA.com will never be shared with
any third party organization or individual without your knowledge.
COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
While visiting our site, CultureUSA.com will not collect any personal information without
your knowledge. There are parts of this web site that require personal information, such as the "Contact"
sections or surveys. The only information collected on these pages is the information that you choose to provide.
Your participation in providing this information is completely optional. Apart from these pages, no
personal information is collected about you.
The personal information collected is only the information that you specifically
provide. This personal information is in no way matched with details about your visits to CultureUSA.com.
While we do track technical details and visits to our pages (see Use of Technical Information),
we do not associate this data with any of your personal information. For example, we do not know which
specific pages you visited or what web site you came from when visiting our site.
When you provide personal information, we will use it to fulfill the expectation
presented on the page in which you provided it. For example, personal information provided in our
contact sections will be used to respond to your request or comments.
One aspect of CultureUSA.com is networking individuals around the world with US Citizens. This networking
is only done by your request. However, if you request to meet with American expatriates in your home country, request to
join a discussion group on culture, or request to be networked with US Citizens when you arrive in the United States,
your personal information will be shared with our partner organizations and individuals who faciltiate these meetings.
Again, the sharing of personal information to facilitate such meetings is only done after you have submitted a
requested to our staff.
COLLECTION AND USE OF TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Some technical information is collected by our servers when you visit our site.
The technical information collected is never associated with your identity
or with any personal information that you chose to provide. Examples of technical
information that may be collected include your IP address, where you came from when visiting
our site, how long you stayed at CultureUSA.com, what pages you viewed while you were here, and
what browser you were using. Again, this information is only seen in generic log files and is never
associated with any personal information you provide. It is used to help us diagnose problems on our
site, see what areas are most frequently visited, and to find ways to enhance your
experience with our site.
USE OF COOKIES
Cookies are small, plain-text files that are written to your computer’s
hard drive. They are often used to personalize or enhance your browsing
experience or to identify you to a web site (such as through remembering
your username or password). Because of our concern for your
privacy, we do not utilize cookies.
DISCLAIMER ABOUT LINKS TO OTHER SITES
The CultureUSA.com web site contains many links to other web sites.
These links are provided as a service to you to minimize the amount of time you have to
spend searching for information about the USA. However, links to these sites do not represent an endorsement by CultureUSA.com or its staff,
nor our approval of the content, message, or the organization or people responsible for the site.
While we strive to only link to helpful and authoritative sites, we cannot guarantee that the content of these
sites is factual and accurate. In addition, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites. The
information contained in this Privacy Policy may not be the same as that of the other sites to which we link.
SECURITY OF CORRESPONDENCE
Correspondence sent through the CultureUSA web pages (such as
sending e-mails or comments to us through our on-line forms) is not
secure. Because we are not selling products and never ask for credit card
or financial information, we do not utilize secure servers found in online shopping sites.
Please realize that any information you submit has the potential to be viewed by third parties while
in transit.
