1.0 Information We Collect and How We Collect It
1.1 User IP Address
Each time a user visits the Site, our web server automatically recognizes the user’s IP address and the Web page from which the user came. The user’s IP address is used to help identify the user and to gather broad demographic information about the User. We also use IP addresses collected to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer the Site, and to better serve users in using the services and features of the Site.
1.2 Cookies and Action Tags
The first time a user provides an e-mail address in connection with their activities at the Site, we may assign an identification number to that e-mail address and deploy a cookie to the user’s PC. Whenever that user comes back to the Site using the same PC, the cookie allows the Site to identify the user and to recall the user’s e-mail address. If, at any time, a user provides other information in connection with their activities on the Site (such as name, address, birth date, gender, etc.), we may store that information, along with the user’s e-mail address, in our user database. In addition to the uses described in Section 2.0 below, we may use the information stored in our database (i) for the purpose for which the information was originally provided by a user; (ii) to pre-populate information fields in the event a user wishes to sign up for and/or subscribe to services, promotions or offers in the future; (iii) to ensure that a user will not be repeatedly exposed to the same ads, offers and promotions while visiting the Site; and (iv) to, in connection with regular communication with a user, communicate with the user regarding offers, promotions or advertisements historically, or likely to be, of interest to that user.
Action Tags, Web Beacons and other Data Collection Methods: An action tag or a web-beacon (also known as a clear gif or a pixel tag) is a method used to track responses or actions by visitors who view certain advertisements or other information on the Site. Action tags are 1×1 pixel images embedded in a website page that are used to transparently collect information. We may use action tags to count the number of times that visitors click on a particular banner ad or visit the pages of the Site and to provide information about what products are viewed or purchased.
1.3 Personal Information
While a user is on the Site, we may collect their “Personal Information”. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, Personal Information shall mean individually identifiable information from or about an individual including, but not limited to: (a) a first and last name; (b) a home or other physical address, including street name and name of city or town; (c) an e-mail address or other online contact information, such as an instant messaging user identifier or a screen name that reveals an individual’s e-mail address; (d) a telephone number; (e) a persistent identifier, such as a customer number held in a cookie or processor serial number, that is combined with other available data that identifies an individual; (f) age; (g) income level; (h) hobbies, buying patterns or preferences; or (i) any other information from or about an individual that is combined with any of (a) through (i) above.
