Please read this privacy policy to learn more about what types of information we gather about you, how we use it, and how to correct or change it.

SCOPE OF POLICY

INFORMATION GATHERED FROM ALL VISITORS

Aggregate Data

We gather certain generic information with respect to all visitors’ use of our web site, such as the number of unique visitors, the frequency with which they visit, and the areas on the web site that they favor. We only use this type of data in aggregate, that is we look at the data on a collective basis, in summary form, rather than on an individual basis. This data helps us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our website to make your experience easier and more enjoyable. We may also provide statistical “ratings” about how our customers collectively use our website to advertisers, sponsors, and other companies with which we do business. These statistical ratings do not contain any personally identifiable information about you or any of our users. We may automatically track certain information about you based upon your behavior on our site. We use this information to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect and serve our users. This information is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis.

Cookies are pieces of information or data sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes.

We collect and analyze traffic on our website by keeping track of the IP addresses of our visitors. IP addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are assigned to each computer browser accessing the Internet. An IP address, by itself, cannot identify you personally. However, when combined with other information provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), your IP address can be used to identify the computer originating a message.

This information, however, is not required and is completely optional on your part.
