We may ask you for your name and email address to stay in contact with you. We receive and store Personally Identifiable Information. You may elect to not provide Personally Identifiable Information to us, although doing so may prevent you from engaging in certain activities.

Information We Gather Automatically

When you use the Site, files, records and other data (“User Content”) are sent to, and stored on, the servers of third parties who provide hosting services to us. Examples of the information we may collect automatically (without you providing it) and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet; login; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information such as browser type, version, and time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, and operating system; the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) click path you followed to and from our website or mobile commerce application, including date and time.

We may also use browser data such as cookies, Flash cookies (also known as Flash Local Shared Objects), or similar data on certain parts of our website for fraud prevention and other purposes. We may use Site tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, user interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from pages or sections.

Information Security and Data Integrity

The security of your User Content is of paramount importance to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the User Content submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. Although we make good faith efforts to store User Content in secure operating environments that are not open to the public, you should understand that there is no such thing as complete security, and we do not guarantee that there will be no unintended disclosures of your User Content. If we become aware that your User Content has been disclosed in a manner not in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the nature and extent of the disclosure (to the extent we know that information) as soon as reasonably possible and as required by law.

We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your Personal Information. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
