We may collect non-personal information regarding your use of the Services through methods that are not apparent during use of the Services. Such information is collected through software tracking technologies described below.

Examples of non-personal information collected using tracking technologies include information about user activity, such as pages viewed, geographic location of visitors and/or devices used by visitors, among other examples. 

​

In some cases, information regarding visitor activity may be considered personal information under applicable law, such the IP address associated with a visit to the Services which can in some situations act as a unique identifier for a user device.  Where information collected in such manner constitutes personal information, it is subject to the provisions of this Policy governing all personal information.

​

If you do not want information collected in these ways, it may be possible for you to adjust settings on the devices you use to access the Services (e.g., a computer, smartphone or tablet).  However, we cannot guarantee that such settings may be changed or will be effective and you assume all risks associated with your access to the Services. 

​

We may also collect Personal Information about you, either directly collected from your submissions during use of the Services or indirectly through tracking technologies as described herein.

​

By “Personal Information”, we mean information that can be used to identify a specific individual.  Personal Information may include, for example, name, email address, physical address, phone numbers, device identifiers, IP addresses, and/or software tools such as “cookies” (“Cookie Data”).    

 

Your Personal Information may be used to operate the Services generally and/or to provide the Services you have requested or authorized specifically.  Access to some Services may necessitate use of Personal Information.  We may collect your personal information when you participate in, access or sign up for any of our Services or contact us via electronic mediums.  Certain Services you have requested access to require that we provide Personal Information to third parties, which will only be done with your knowledge.  If you do not consent to disclosure to third-parties for this purpose, do not use the Services.

​

Your Personal Information may also be used to improve the Services and/or make them easier to use or customized to your particular preference or interests.  We may additionally use your Personal Information to provide you with information about our services, such as new features or updates to the Services, marketing, and/or to comply with applicable laws and law enforcement.
