Note: This Privacy Policy applies to this Site and to our offline practices. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the websites of other companies, individuals, or organizations to which we may provide links. These websites may have different policies relating to your privacy and information they collect about you, and you should consult the privacy policies of each site you visit.

Information We Collect

The information we learn from users helps us personalize and continually improve your experience.

We may collect two types of information about you when you visit this Site: personal information (such as, your name, address, telephone number, email address, and credit card number), and information that is aggregated with that of other users and is not personally identifiable.

Personally Identifiable Information

The only personally identifying information that we collect and store about you is the information that you have chosen to provide to us. We may collect your personal information when you contact us via this Site.

Personal information will only be used for the reasons outlined in this policy, and will be retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the stated purposes, or for a period specifically required by law or regulation and thereafter will be disposed of securely or made anonymous so that it cannot be identified to any individual.

Cookies

Some parts of this Site may use a “cookie.” A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer. It often includes an anonymous unique identifier. There are two types of cookies: non-persistent and persistent cookies.

A non-persistent cookie enables a website to temporarily store information on your computer as you travel from one page to another. This cookie is automatically deleted from your machine when you close your browser.

A persistent cookie is kept even when you close your browser. You can manually delete these cookies using commands specific to your browser and computer system.

This Site uses persistent cookies to anonymously track the number of times a person visits this Site.

The Help feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of this Site’s essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. If you block or otherwise reject our cookies some of this Site features may not function properly.

Referrers, IP Addresses, and Environment Variables

We collect information through “referrers,” IP addresses, and various environment variables. A “referrer” is information the web browser passes along to this Site’s web server that references the URL from which you came. An “IP Address” is a number used by computers on a network to identify your computer so that data can be transmitted to you. An “environment variable” may include but is not limited to the domain from which you access the Internet, the time you accessed this Site, the type of web browser and operating system or platform used, the referrer, the pages you visit while at the this Site and the Internet address of the website you then visit. We may collect IP address information in order to administer this Site and to gather broad demographic information.

Google Analytics Information

We collect information through Google Analytics Advertising Features, including Demographics & Interests reports. Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of this Site to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

We use this information to track age, gender, parental status, and interests of the visitors to this Site to better understand our audience and customize this Site to meet the needs of our audience.

You can opt out of the Google Analytics Advertising Features through Ad Settings or through Google Analytics’ browser opt-out option.

Aggregated Information refers to information we gather by compiling non-personally identifiable information to provide summaries of use of this Site. We may use aggregated information to understand the interests of users as a group, but such aggregated information is not linked to individual users’ personally identifying information. Given the non-personally identifiable nature of this information, there are no restrictions under this Privacy Policy upon our right to aggregate this information and we may share this aggregated information with third parties and use this information in any way.
