V.A. Brown Consulting uses your Personal Information only for providing and improving the Site.  By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Like most website operators, V.A.

V.A. Brown Consulting’s purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how our visitors use the website. From time to time, V.A. Brown Consulting may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

While using the site, we may also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on vabrownconsulting.com blogs/sites. V.A. Brown Consulting only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Brown Consulting collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with V.A. Brown Consulting. V.A.
