NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION COLLECTED
Different technologies are used to collect aggregate statistics
about our customer and visitor base, including cookies and web
server logs. Web server logs tell which pages are more and less
popular on our site and where people were before they came to our
website. Cookies, as explained in further detail below, tell us how
may people visit the We site, how many people return to the site,
and what language preferences our users have.
We use these statistics to monitor traffic so we can effectively
handle site capacity. The statistics also help us determine which
parts of the site are most popular. With this information, we can
continually improve the website to better meet the needs of our
clients and prospective clients.
To better target our advertising, we may use an outside vendor to
gather the following types of non-personally identifiable
information about users who come to our sites via our ad banners:
(i) Your IP address (a unique number assigned to every computer
on the Internet). Information that can be inferred from the IP
address includes the user's geographic location, company, type, and
size of organization.
(ii) Your domain type (i.e. .com, .net, or .edu.).
(iii) Standard information included with every communication sent
on the Internet. For example, information which we can infer from
this standard information might include your browser version and
type (e. g. Netscape or Internet Explorer), operating system (i.e.,
Windows or Macintosh), browser language (e. g. Java or Unix),
service provider (e. g. MindSpring or AOL), your local time, etc.
(iv) How you utilize the pages you visit within our site (e.g.
which pages you view).
Also, we may provide aggregate statistics about our customers,
sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable
third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personal
data or personally identifying information. We may release account
information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is
reasonably necessary to(i) comply with law,(ii) enforce or apply the
terms of any of our user agreements, or (iii) protect the rights,
property or safety of our company, our users, or others.
