Your IP Address
An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the web. Web servers - the big computers that "serve up" web pages - automatically identify your computer by its IP address.
www.ss-electric.com 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 guests request pages from www.ss-electric.com, our servers log the guests' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user 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 terms of use of the Web site or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
Some services within www.ss-electric.com, such as certain message boards, may display IP addresses along with the message poster's name and message. Please review each service prior to use and only use those that disclose information you are comfortable with sharing. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
