Use
The Web site collects data through a feedback form that allows users to request information about Cypress Communications and its products and services.

Such request may include provision of Cypress Communications’ news alerts and other information about Cypress Communications and if so, the Customer’s contact information will be used for mailings of such information by Cypress Communications.
The Web site also provides a capability for Customers to submit their resumes to Cypress Communications via e-mail. Any resume so received by Cypress Communications will be held in confidence and used only for the purpose of considering the submitting party for employment or such other purpose as requested by the submitting party. Such information is not shared with third parties (other than contractors retained by Cypress Communications to assist in its hiring process) unless specifically requested or authorized by the submitting party.
Cypress Communications may use Customer IP addresses to help diagnose problems with its server, to administer the Web site, to analyze trends, to track Customer movement and use, and to gather broad demographic information. Such data is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
