4. INFORMATION COLLECTED WITH TECHNOLOGY

4.1 Information collected by our servers :

To make our Website and Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third-party service provider) collect your information, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol address (“IP”)  (the number automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp of your visit.

4.2 Log Files :

As is true with most websites, we collect certain information automatically and store it in log files.

This data includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information to analyze behaviors and trends, administer the Website, track users’ movements around the Website, gather demographic information about our visitor base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs.

For example, some of the data may be collected so that when you visit the Website or the Services again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information considered appropriate towards your interests.

Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not link this automatically-collected data to Personal Information.

4.3 Cookies

Like many online services, we use cookies “Cookies” to collect information.

Cookies are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are visiting the Website.

We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which remain on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Website.

This type of data is collected to make the Website more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special objectives, interests, and needs.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept Cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all Cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

In addition, we use “Pixel Tags” (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs).

Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, that are used to track online movements of Web users and visitors.

Conversely to Cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in web pages.

Pixel Tags also allow us to send e-mail messages in a format that users can read, and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our visitors and users.

We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user.

We may also collect non-Personal Information from your mobile device if you have visited our Website vie a mobile browser.

This information is generally used to help us deliver the most relevant information to you.

Examples of information that may be collected and used include your geographic location, how you use the mobile Website, and information about the type of device you use.

This information is sent to us as aggregated information and is not traceable to any individual and cannot be used to identify an individual.

4.6 Analytics Tools

We use third-party analytics tools to help measure traffic and usage trends and behaviors for the Website and Services.

Analytics tools collect information sent by your mobile device, our Website, or our Services, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that helps us to improve the Website and the Services.
