Cookies are small pieces of data which are sent by a web site to your web browser and are stored on your computer.

Obtaining and Protecting Personal Information
Please note that the only individualized information that we obtain about you through our Web Sites is information you voluntarily supply. If you voluntarily provide personal information to us, we will guard the personal information you share with us to ensure that the content and services we provide on our Web Sites are always tailored to your current, designated preferences, and will only use that information to fulfill the purpose for which it was supplied to us. When you provide Booz Allen or Persia House with your name, email address, or telephone number we may use this information to alert you to company news, new services and other company information. We do not sell any user-provided information to third parties.
For certain Web Site functions, such as the purchase of a product or service or to create an account for using our any message forums or career opportunities, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and address), and where applicable, financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your order. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you. We do not retain credit card data without your express authorization.
When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the sensitivity of the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Booz Allen and Persia House will always protect the personal information that you share with us. Such information is stored information internally in a controlled, secure environment according to accepted industry standards. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including sending postal mail and processing event registrations. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law when we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our company or Web Sites.
