Additionally, we log usage data when you visit or otherwise use our Site, such as when you view or click on content or ads, perform a search, or share information from other users.

The cookie and mobile device policies are discussed further below.

Specifically, we may use the information we have about you to provide and personalize some of the Site’s features or services (such as ads) including with the help of automated systems and inferences we make, so the Site can be more relevant and useful to you and others.

Personal information related to browser and analytics data (Cookie Policy)

What information is collected? Like many other websites, and regardless of which section of the Site you are visiting, we may record information that your browser routinely shares, and we may automatically track certain information based upon your behavior on the Site (“Aggregate Information”). This information may include, for example, the URL that you have just come from (whether this URL is on our Site or not), the URL you go to next (whether this URL is on our Site or not), your computer’s browser information, mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity, text that is typed, and your IP address. We may also collect information such as your number of visits to the pages of the Site. If you have signed up to receive any of our e-mail communications, we use similar technology to count how many recipients have opened the message and clicked on one of its links.

How is this information collected? This information is collected as a result of your browser sharing the information with us, cookies, and web beacons. A “cookie” is a small data file that a website may send to your browser and which may then be stored on your hard drive. We may allow business partners who provide services to this Site to place cookies on your computer that assist us in analyzing usage data. We do not allow these business partners to collect your personal information from this Site except as may be necessary for the services that they provide.

How is this information used and shared? This information is used to keep track of users and their preferences and to provide analysis about the visitors to our Site. Specifically, cookies are used to keep track of users and the services they have collected. Web beacons (or similar technology) help us track the effectiveness of our communications. A web beacon (also known as an action tag, a clear gif or pixel tag) is a pixel image embedded in a website page used to transparently collect information. For example, we may use a web beacon to count the number of visits to the pages of this Site.

Third-party websites or services may use cookies, pixels, and similar technology to collect or receive information upon using this Site. We may share this information with the respective services or platforms, but we will not include your personal information. This is specifically for conversion tracking, measurement services and ad targeting based upon interests. You can learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt-out of such advertising from certain companies at aboutads.info

Statistical analyses of the information: We use Google Analytics to help us gather statistical information about the visitors to our Site and how they use the Site on an anonymous, aggregate basis. But, we will not associate this data with personally identifiable data unless required to do so to cooperate with law enforcement activity or other governmental request or to comply with the law. We may use this information to gain a better understanding of the users of our Site, to improve our Site, and to improve our services and product offerings. Depending on the type of browser and device that you use, you may have the ability to control the type of information that Google Analytics uses. To understand how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners. We reserve the right to license or sell Aggregate Information about the visitors to our Site, but this information will not be individually identifiable.

Remarketing: In addition to using cookies and related technologies as described above, we also permit certain third-party companies such as Google or Facebook to help us tailor advertising that we think may be of interest to you on third-party websites. Such third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to our Site. Any data collected will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy as well as the third-party companies’ privacy policies (including Google and Facebook).

Other ways we may share your personal information

For example, we may share information with law enforcement to reduce the risk of fraud or if someone uses or attempts to use our site for illegal reasons. If there is a sale or merger of our organization, we may also transfer the information we have collected in connection with such sale or merger.

Cross border transfers of information

Any information you provide to us through the use of the Site may be stored, processed, transferred among, and accessed from the United States and other countries which may not guarantee the same level of protection of personal information as the one in which you reside. However, we will handle your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy regardless of where your personal information is kept. Regarding transfers from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to the United States, we rely on the derogations for transfers which are necessary to perform the transaction with you. Where required by law, you may request a copy of the suitable mechanisms we have in place by contacting us as detailed below. If you reside in other non-US jurisdictions outside the EEA, your use of the Site or provision of any personal information constitutes your consent for the transfer of such data to the United States for the purposes identified above. If you have questions about cross-border transfers, please contact us as detailed below.

Data retention

We typically retain your personal information related to marketing activities for as long as you accept marketing communications from us, and we will securely delete such data in accordance with and to the extent permitted by applicable law upon request. For personal information that we collect and process for other purposes, we typically retain such personal information for no longer than for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy and as otherwise specified in applicable record retention policies and procedures. We may retain your personal information even after you have unsubscribed from our communications if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our terms and conditions. We will retain de-personalized information after we have otherwise deleted your personal information.

Consequences of not providing personal information

You are not required to provide all personal information identified in this policy to use our Site or to interact with us offline, but certain functionality will not be available if you do not provide personal information. For example, if you do not provide personal information, we may not be able to respond to your request or provide you with marketing that we believe you would find valuable.

How we protect your personal information

We maintain technical and organizational measures to protect the integrity of this Site and the personal information we collect from you from loss, misuse, alteration or unintentional destruction. However, we cannot provide absolute assurances against, and will not be liable for, any breaches of data security or confidentiality due to system failures or unauthorized access by third-parties, or other causes beyond our reasonable control. You also have an important role in protecting your information.

Verifying, changing, and deleting your information

If the information you provided us is incorrect, you can contact us as detailed below and ask us to change, update or fix your information in certain cases, particularly if it is inaccurate. You can also request that we erase or delete all or some of your personal information or otherwise object to, limit, or restrict the use of such information (if we have no legal right or legitimate business interest in retaining such information).

Our Site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and we will not knowingly collect information about children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not submit your personal information.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each web site to which we may link that may collect personally identifiable information.

We reserve the right to change this policy. But, if we do change this policy, we will post the revised version on the Site. And, if we are going to change this policy in a way that would permit us to make additional uses of the personal information that we have previously collected about you, we will obtain your affirmative, express consent before using your information in a materially different way.
