Anonymous Data Collected Automatically

Whether or not you submit Personal Information, any time you visit our Site, we or our service providers may automatically collect, store or accumulate certain Device Information and Usage Data. “Device Information” is information relating to the computer or device you are using when you access our Site, such as your computer’s IP address, your mobile device identifiers, the type of browser and operating system you are using, the identity of your internet service provider, and your device and browser settings. “Usage Data” is data related to your use of the Site such as the pages you visit, the sites you use before or after visiting ours, your actions within the Site, the type of content or advertisements you have accessed, seen, forwarded and/or clicked on, WiFi connections, date and time stamps, log files, and diagnostic, crash, website, and performance logs and reports.

Device Information and Usage Data are collected through the following means:

Cookies Information: When you visit the Site, we may send one or more cookies – a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to your computer, tablet or mobile device, that uniquely identifies your browser and lets us help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Site.  A cookie does not collect Personal Information about you automatically, but we may tie this information to Personal Information about you that we collect from other sources or you provide to us.  Our Site, websites that may be linked through our Site, and third party technology used on our Site may use cookies for user authentication, promotional campaigns, keeping track of your information and preferences, and tracking other statistical usage information, such as time spent on a particular site or webpage and number of pages visited.  We use both session cookies and persistent cookies.  A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Site.  Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions.  A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser.  You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.  However, some features of the Site or services may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.

Google Analytics: We use a tool called “Google Analytics,” a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”) to collect information about use of this Site.  Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our Site, what pages are visited, and what other sites were visited prior to coming to our Site.  We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve this Site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this Site, rather than your name or other identifying information.  We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this Site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google.  Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.  You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this Site by disabling cookies on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this Site.

Clear Gifs Information: When you use the Site or services, we may employ clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons) which are used to track the online usage patterns of our users anonymously.  No Personal Information from your account is collected using these clear gifs.  In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients.  The information is used to enable more accurate reporting, improve the effectiveness of our marketing, and make this Site better for our users.

Mobile Analytics: We utilize third party analytics technology in our mobile applications which tracks usage and interactions within our mobile applications and may provide location-based services such as (“GeoFencing”).  This information helps provide insight into the use of such mobile applications and the interest in our communities and products, and also assists with our further improvement and development associated with the mobile application and the Community.
