1. Definitions.
A. Non-Personal Information is information that is in no way personally identifiable and that is obtained automatically through the simple use of our Website with a Web browser.
B. Personally Identifiable Information is non-public information that is personally identifiable and obtained in the course of providing a product or service to you. It may include such information as your name, address, phone number, and financial data you provide to us.
2. Collecting Non-Personal Information.
Our primary purpose in collecting any information from you is to enable us to effectively meet your needs and provide you an efficient and effective experience on our Website. By gathering information from our visitors, we can provide the services and features that best meet our visitors’ needs, and we can customize our service in an effort to make your experience an enjoyable one. We only collect information about you that we consider necessary for achieving this purpose.
Non-Personal Information is information gathered while the visitor remains anonymous. It is largely obtained through the use of internet technologies.
A. Internet Technology.
We and our service providers use internet technologies like cookies, Web beacons and log files to (i) assist us in providing services to you; (ii) track activity on our Website; and (iii) determine how you came to our Website. We do not link any of this Non-Personal Information to any Personally Identifiable Information you may provide us without your permission.
B. Cookies.
A cookie is a small piece of data which is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer when you visit the Website. Cookies are not linked to any Personally Identifiable Information on our Website. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by the Website only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
We use both “session ID cookies” and “persistent cookies.” A session ID cookie terminates when you close your browser. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your hard drive for an extended period of time. We use persistent cookies to identify which areas of our Website you have visited, so the next time you visit the Website, those pages may be readily accessible. For example, a cookie allows you to automatically log into your personalized page. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file.
C. Disabling or Deleting Cookies.
We use session ID cookies to monitor and improve the functionality and usability of our Website. Cookies can usually be disabled by changing your browser settings. Disabling cookies, however, will limit our ability to provide certain functionality on our Website. Similarly, deleting cookies may limit our ability to restore information from the earlier session when you return. We are not able to address any support issues that may arise from the deletion of our cookies.
D. Third Parties.
We may also use third-parties to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and Web beacons to measure advertising effectiveness. We have no access to or control over these cookies. Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. If you disclose your information to third parties, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of that information. We do not control the privacy policies of third parties. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.
E. Sponsors or Advertisers.
Sponsors or advertisers on the Website may use their own cookies, Web beacons or other online tracking technologies in the banner advertisements on our Website, in emails, special promotions or newsletters we send you. Some advertisers use companies other than us to serve their ads and to monitor users' responses to ads, and these companies (“Ad Servers”) may also collect Non-Personal Information through the use of cookies or Web beacons on our Website. In certain situations, information collection may be facilitated by momentarily directing your browser to the website of an Ad Server or other third party acting on behalf of the sponsor, partner, or advertiser before re-directing your browser to its selected destination (e.g., back to our Website to show the ad, or to the advertiser’s website); this re-direction process will not be apparent to you.
We do not control these third parties’ use of cookies or Web beacons, or how they manage the Non-Personal Information they gather through them. However, we do require sponsors, advertisers and Ad Servers who collect cookie or Web beacon information through our Website to agree that they will not collect any Personally Identifiable Information from our Website without your consent. They must agree that they will not link any cookie or Web beacon information collected by them on our Website to Personally Identifiable Information that they or others have collected in other ways or from other sites except as may be described in connection with a particular program.
F. Web Beacons.
The information collected by Web beacons (i) allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our Website and selected sponsors' and advertisers' Websites; (ii) how many people open our emails; and (c) for what purposes these actions are being taken. Our Web beacons are not used to track your activity outside of our Website or those of our sponsors.
G. Log Files.
Like most standard web Website service providers, we use log files. These files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. The data in the log files, all of which is Non-Personal Information, is used to analyze trends, administer the Website, track users’ movement in the aggregate, make inventory purchasing decisions that will best serve our customers, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
H. Automatic Tracking.
We automatically track certain information based upon your behavior on the Website. We use this information to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect and serve you.
I. Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs).
We employ a software technology called clear gifs, also referred to as web beacons or web bugs that help manage content on our Website by tracking what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails recipients have opened. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see “Choice and Opt-out.”
