We collect information for two reasons:
We do not sell this information, and we do not share personally identifiable information (PII) outside our research group. Our internal sharing of PII is typically for the purpose of responding to a user inquiry.
The information we request when you download the IECM is to help us understand who and where our users are in order to improve IECM content and support services. Your email address is used to send you IECM-related announcements, if you request them. It is also is used to help us understand how many individual users there are, as people often download the IECM more than once.
If you include a comment that requires a response, your email address will be used to contact you.
Although we appreciate your providing the requested information, we do not require it in order to download the IECM.
Some technical papers listed on our website are published in journals which restrict their distribution and prevent us from simply posting them on our website. However, we can send you a single copy if you request it. We have included a "Request a copy of this publication" button on the web page to simplify this process. In most cases, the paper you requested can be provided to you immediately as a download. However, we require your email address as a record of this request. Also, if you include a comment that requires a response, your email address will be used to contact you. The remainder of the information on the request form is optional.
Please contact us if you have questions or comments.
