We may also use Web Beacons. Pages of the Websites and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit Mosaic, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related Website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain Website content and verifying system and server integrity). 

Third-Party Web Sites 
We use personally identifiable information for our marketing and internal business purposes only. Such information will not be sold to third parties.

The information practices of third-party web sites are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Mosaic makes no representations or endorsements with respect to the privacy practices of third-party web sites.

Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Websites.
