We use this information to improve our site to make it more responsive to the needs of our users.

Our Web server automatically collects your IP address when you request pages from our server. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your computer so the data, such as the Web pages you request, can be sent to you. This information does not identify you personally.

If you would prefer not to receive such information, please check the box at the bottom of the registration screen. If you do not check that box but later want to have the UL staff remove your e-mail address from our list, please send an e-mail to webmaster@hk.ul.com and include the word "remove" in the subject line.
