The type(s) of Personal Information we collect about you may vary based on how you use our Services and your relationship with us.
Usage Data and Site Activity
We automatically collect information in connection with the actions you take on our website ("Usage Data"). For example, each time you use our website, we may collect the type of web browser you use, the type of device you use, your device ID, your operating system and version, your IP address, your internet service provider, the pages you view, referring and exit pages, the date and time of your visit, and the number of clicks to, from, and within our website, and the duration of your visits to our website. Among other things, this data helps us estimate our audience size and usage patterns, recognize you when you return to our website, store information about your preferences, customize our website according to your interests, and speed up your searches. If the data we automatically collect is capable of being associated with you, directly or indirectly, we treat it as Personal Information under the categories of Identifiers or Internet or other electronic network information, as appropriate. If this information is not capable of being individually associated with you, we treat it as Usage Data.
Communication Recordings
We may record calls and retain the content of text messages, chat transcripts, or other written/electronic communications between you and us. By communicating with us, you consent to our recording and retention of communications.
How We Collect Information
We obtain information, including Personal Information, through a variety of sources, including:
Cookies and Automated Tools
We and third parties may utilize "cookies" and other automated tools to track your clicks and pass information as you navigate the website. We and third parties use the following types of cookies on the website:
We and third parties also use tools that enable us to track certain aspects of a user's visit to our website or in our communications to you. These tools help us better manage content on our website by informing us what content is effective, how consumers engage with our website or communications, and how users arrive at and/or depart from our website. The software typically uses two methods to track user activity: (1) “tracking pixels” and (2) “clear gifs.” Tracking pixels are pieces of executable code embedded in a web page that track usage activity including which pages are viewed, when they are viewed, and how long the pages are viewed. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with unique identifiers embedded in web pages and email messages that track whether a user has viewed a web page or email message. The software may also track user engagement with our website or communications such as links and other content clicked on by the user. User activity information may be associated with additional information about a user's session and Personal Information, if provided by the user.
Server logs capture certain non-personally identifying data, such as the time and date of a web visit, the browser and operating system being used, and the web URL a user linked from. This information is used in aggregate form to help us plan system enhancements when necessary and to provide content that is compatible with our visitors' web-browsing systems. We also collect information about keyword searches performed by visitors on our website. We may keep logs of all words searched to help us learn what kinds of information our website visitors are seeking, and to improve our service to visitors.
If you arrive at our website by “clicking through” from another website, certain information about you that you provided to that other website, such as the terms you were searching on that led you to our website, may be transmitted to us and we may use it. You should review the privacy policy of any website from which you reached our website to determine what information that website collects and for what purpose(s) the website operators use that information. We may retain information about you provided to us by other websites and will use it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Such information may be associated with other Usage Data or Personal Information.
Interested-Based Advertising
We may work with third-party advertisers, search providers, and ad networks ("Advertisers") to learn more about you and show you ads or other content that we believe would be relevant to you. Advertisers may collect and use information about your use of our website or Services as well as other websites and services. These companies may use cookies and other online tracking technologies to collect and use your information. We and/or Advertisers may also append other data to the data collected by Advertisers to create an interest profile of individual users. Our Privacy Policy does not cover any use by an Advertiser of information that they may collect from you. Advertisements may be shown via our website or on third-party websites. If you do not want to receive interest-based advertising, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance's Consumer Opt-Out link, or Your Online Choices. Those websites allows you to opt-out of one or more interest-based advertising networks. Opt-outs are device and browser specific; therefore, you must set your opt-out preferences for each device and browser. Deleting browser cookies can remove your opt-out preferences; however, the DAA offers browser extensions that help preserve the opt-out preferences you set on the DAA's Consumer Choice Page. Please note that opt-outs only apply to interest-based advertising. You may still receive other types of online advertising.
