1. Information We Collect

Personally Identifiable Information You Provide: We collect information that you voluntarily provide when you use the Services, such as when you register for our Services, participate in a survey, provide a testimonial, participate in an interactive feature or forum (such as chat features), participate in a contest, or contact us with a question, comment, or request. This personally identifiable information that you provide might include, for instance, your name, address, age, birth date, gender, email address, phone number, photo, social media account ID, zip code, education, professional experience, demographic information, information about your health and/or medical conditions, product and Services usage and preferences.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information We May Collect: Non-Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon the portion(s) of the websites that you visit. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, which URL you go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the World Wide Web (“Web”). Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet.

Information We Receive from Third Parties: We may combine the information we collect from you with information that we receive about you from other sources, such as public databases, providers of demographic information, joint marketing partners, social media platforms, people with whom you are connected on social media platforms, and other third parties.

We, our service providers and business partners may collect information automatically from your device in a variety of ways including:

Through your browser or device: Certain information is collected by most browsers or may be automatically collected through your device with the use of a tracking code and other technology, to collect information such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, and Internet browser type and version. We use this to collect information on your activities on our websites or applications.

Through your use of a mobile or desktop application: When you download and use a mobile or desktop application of one of our business partners/service providers, they and we may track and collect application usage data, such as the date and time the application on your device accesses our servers and what information and files have been downloaded to the application.

Using cookies: Cookies are small text files stored directly on your device. We use cookies to collect information such as time spent on our websites, pages visited, the pages you view immediately before and after you access the website, the search terms you enter, and other anonymous traffic data. Cookies allow us to recognize you and personalize your experience, to facilitate navigation, and to display information more effectively. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, most browsers allow you to automatically decline cookies or to be given the choice of declining or accepting cookies from a particular site. You may wish to refer to Section 2 below on Cookies and Section 6 concerning Choices As To Your Privacy. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our websites or applications.

Using pixel tags and other similar technologies: We may use pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) to, among other things, track the actions of users of our websites and our email recipients, measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage and response rates.

Using Adobe Flash technology (including Flash Local Shared Objects (“Flash LSOs”)) and other similar technologies: We may use Flash LSOs and other technologies to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our websites. If you do not want Flash LSOs stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash LSO storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash LSOs by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash LSOs, how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your consent, and how to block Flash LSOs that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time). Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash LSOs may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications.

IP Address: Your IP Address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider. An IP Address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user accesses our applications or websites, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice and is done automatically by many websites, applications and other services. We use IP Addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, and administering the websites. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP Address

Precise Real-Time Location Information: We may collect precise, real-time information about the location of your mobile device by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower or WiFi signals. We may use your device’s location to provide you with personalized location-based services and content, including marketing communications. You may be permitted to allow or deny the use of your device’s location by managing your location services preferences through your device settings.

Interest-Based Advertising: We may use third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements to you when you access our websites, applications or online services, based on information relating to your access to and use of other websites, applications or online services on any of your devices. To do so, these companies may use various technologies, including the placement or recognition of a unique cookie on your browser (including through use of pixel tags). They may also use these technologies, along with information they collect about your online use, to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile phone and a laptop. These companies use the information they collect, as well as information received from third parties, to serve ads for us and others about goods and services that may be of interest to you when you are on our websites or on third-party properties.

Online Behavioral Advertising: Online Behavioral Advertising (“OBA”) is the practice of collecting information from web browsers so it can be used to present online advertisements that are more relevant to the user of a particular computer. We believe OBA offers consumers a much better experience of online advertising. When a consumer visits our website, the pages they visit, the amount of time they view each page, the links they click on, the searches they make and the things that they interact with, allow us to collect that data so that we can create a “profile” that links to that visitor’s web browser. We use this information to personalize your experience, enhance security, facilitate navigation, display material more efficiently and recognize the device that you are using.We may disclose OBA information to an affiliate or other third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including without limitation in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).

Behavioral Targeting/Re-Targeting: We partner with third parties to display advertising on our websites and manage our advertising on other sites. Our third party business partners may use technologies such as cookies to gather information about your activities on our websites and other sites in order to provide you advertising about us based upon your browsing activities and interests. If you access ourwebsites on your mobile device, you may not be able to control tracking technologies through the settings. You may also be redirected from the landing page of one website to another website, owned or controlled by us, through these technologies.

Please see Section 6 on Choices As To Your Privacy to obtain information on opting-out of OBA.

2. Cookies

Our websites, online services, interactive applications, email messages, and advertisements may use “cookies” and other technologiessuch as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

We and our business partners use cookies and other technologies in mobile advertising services to control the number of times you see a given ad, deliver ads that relate to your interests, and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. We and our business partners/service providers also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our website, online services, and applications.

As is true of online companies, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the website, to learn about user behavior on the website, to improve our product and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may use this information in our marketing and advertising services as well.

In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on our website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.

Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.
