The Data We Collect

Anonymous Electronic Information. In general, you can browse the Site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However, we collect your computer’s or mobile device’s IP address, which you necessarily disclose when you visit the Site or download or use an App, so that data (such as the web pages you request) can be sent to your computer or device.

Cookies. The Site or Apps may use “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer or device that web pages on the Site may use to store data on your computer or send data to our web servers. Cookies allow our web servers to recognize you when you return to the Site or Apps, so we can retain any preferences you may have selected. We may also use cookies to troubleshoot how the Site or Apps operate, and for internal analysis of how people use the Site or Apps. We may use “persistent cookies” to save your user ID and login password for future logins to the Site or Apps. Should you decide not to accept cookies from the Site or Apps, you will limit the functionality we can provide you. We may use standard Internet technology such as web beacons and other similar technologies to track your use of the Site.

We may share this information with our parent companies, subsidiaries, other related entities, vendors, marketing partners, and other parties with whom we collaborate. These parties may be located outside the United States. If we use service providers, these service providers may have access to your personal information to perform contractually specified services on our behalf.

This information does not identify you personally. On occasion we may aggregate this data with data on the pages visited by other users to track overall visitor traffic patterns and provide this aggregate information to vendors, business partners, or affiliates.

The information we obtain using standard Internet technology, such as web beacons, tracking pixels, and other similar technologies, enables us to customize the services we offer visitors to our Site, to improve the performance of our Apps, to deliver targeted content, and to measure the overall effectiveness of our online or mobile content, advertising, or programming or other activities.

We may use your location information to provide personalized content and advertising, to enhance your experience with the Services, to allow you to view promotions and products available to you based on your location, to assist us with analytics, and to improve the effectiveness of our Site, Apps, and Services.

We may use the information you provide in an anonymous or aggregated format that does not identify you personally, which uses might include, without limitation, to evaluate existing products, services, and systems; to assist in the development of new products or services; research; advertising; and to identify trends and changes.

For Law Enforcement, Regulators and Other Parties for Legal Reasons.

In addition, since our database is a business asset, in the event we are reorganized or become part of another organization, you consent to the sale, assignment, or transfer of your personal information to a successor that acquires substantially all of our business assets, or to an affiliate, as applicable.

We do not sell personal information to third parties. Other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we do not transfer, share or disclose personal information to third parties.

We may have functionality on the Site or Apps that is provided, in whole or in part, by a third-party service provider.
