No Computer Tracking of Identifiable Information
Our computer is not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information about this Silver Vase Site's visitors. It does recognize the home server of visitors, but not email addresses.

This information is used only for internal purposes by Silver Vase staff.
In addition, this Silver Vase Site tracks information about the visits to it. For example, we compile statistics that show the daily number of visitors to this Silver Vase Site, as well as the daily requests we receive for particular pages on this Silver Vase Site. This information is used internally by Silver Vase to better provide services to our customers, and may also be provided to others, but again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.
