Information
That We Collect:
Information we may collect when you visit
our Site falls into two broad categories: personal information,
and aggregate or non-personal information. "Personal
Information" is information that can be used to identify
or contact you, such as your name, e-mail address, mailing
address, phone number, zip code, credit card number, personally
identifiable information and any other information provided
by or for you. "Non-Personal Information" is information
that does not identify you, and may include, for example,
statistical information concerning the web pages on our
Site that users most frequent. Our Privacy Policy governs
both categories of information.
Personal
Information:
We may collect and store Personal Information
when you use our Site. We may use Personal Information to
provide you with services you have requested from us and
to provide information to third parties including, but not
limited to, our advertisers.
Non-Personal
Information:
We may also collect non-personal information
from our online visitors, such as demographic information.
Non-personal information may also include technical information
including your browser type, areas of the Site visited,
date and time of access, host or service provided information,
and identification of the referring site. When you browse
our Site, the choices you make may provide information concerning
your interests, and concerning the appeal and efficacy of
associated Site features. Information concerning our visitors'
activities which pages they visit, and how long they view
these pages, for example – is Non-Personal Information.
This information does not identify a particular user, but
does provide potentially useful data concerning our users'
preferences and the efficacy and interest of our Site's
features. The manner in which we collect Non-Personal Information
is set out below.
- Cookies: We collect
Non-Personal Information about your use of our Site through
cookies and similar Internet technologies. "Cookies"
are small text files that a web site can use to recognize
repeat users, to facilitate the user's ongoing access to
and use of the site, and to compile aggregate data to improve
the site and focus advertising. Cookies work as follows:
a web site will send a cookie to your browser that uniquely
associates your computer with information stored at the
site. Your browser places the cookie in its cookies file.
When you next access that site on your computer, the site
recognizes the cookie, makes the stored information available,
and adds new information based on the present visit.
- Disabling Cookies. You may choose not
to allow us to collect information in this manner, through
cookies. If you wish, you can set your browser software
to reject cookies, and most browsers provide instructions
for disabling the cookies feature in their "Help"
section. Because cookies can be used to provide certain
functionality, if you disable your browser's cookies feature,
certain elements of our Site may be unavailable to you.
- Links to Other Web Sites: Our Site may
contain links to other websites of interest and of advertisers.
However, once you have used these links to leave our Site,
you should note that we do not have control over that other
website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection
and privacy of any information which you provide while visiting
such websites and such websites are not governed by this
Privacy Policy.
