What information is collected and how it is
collected?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain
name and a set of numbers, which serve as that computer's
"Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a
page from
www.maestroperformance.co.za our Web servers
automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP
address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing
personal about you other than the IP address from which you
have accessed our site. We use this information to examine
website interactivity. Our Web servers do not record e-mail
addresses of the visitors.
How we use single-pixel gifs or tracking scripts?
www.maestroperformance.co.za may use single-pixel gif
images or tracking scripts, sometimes referred to as web
bugs or web beacons, to evaluate website interactivity and
gather some general statistical information. Maestro
Performance may use single-pixel gifs or tracking scripts
that can track personal information from cookies that may
have been previously placed on a user's computer.

request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate
the purpose of the inquiry before the information is
requested. We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy. We will
also not sell or rent your e-mail address to a third-party.

enter a contest or other promotion, we may ask for your
name, address and e-mail address so that we can administer
the contest and notify winners.

tagging to identify which links in the email you click on
and how you interact with the Maestro Performance website.
