CPWR — The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of our visitors, as well as those who request information or advice from CPWR.

In order to fulfill government grant guidelines and track the usage of our Web site, we collect and store information about the visit, but we do not collect personal identifying information. We collect and store only the following information:

  • The name of the domain from which visitors access the Internet, such as aol.com or cdc.gov, and IP address. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to a computer when surfing the Web.
  • The date and time a visitor accesses our site and the time the visitor logs off.
  • The pages that the visitor views.
  • The Internet address of the Web site last viewed by the visitor before coming to our site.

We use this information to [1] create summary statistics so that we can determine what information is of the most interest to our visitors, [2] help us enhance the site’s quality and usefulness, and [3] report site usage to the agencies that fund our organization. We do not collect your name, your email address or other identifying information.

We offer visitors a chance to send in questions and ask for contact information, but we will never share or sell your personal information with any other organization or outside party. We do not collect the email addresses of our visitors.

Site visitors may also seek assistance with a question or safety concern from a CPWR subject expert. These requests demand an email address in order to answer the question, but we do not collect or maintain a database of these email addresses.

The eLCOSH.org website contains links to many other sites. When you link to any of these sites, you are no longer on our site and are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.

The eLCOSH.org website pages use persistent “cookies” to store information about site usage. As noted above, in no case does CPWR disclose, give, sell, or transfer any personal information about website visitors unless required for law enforcement or otherwise required by law.
