When you use or access the Website, or become a subscribed user of the Website, we may also collect information such as demographic information (e.g., age, profession, or gender) that is collected and used on an aggregated, de-identified basis (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”).  Non-Personally Identifiable Information may also include certain anonymous information about the date and time you used the Website, the pages you accessed while using the Website, and the Internet addresses of the websites (e.g. URL, IP address), if any, you visited that were linked to the Website. Your IP address is the number assigned to computers connected to the Internet. This is essentially “traffic data” which cannot personally identify you, but is helpful to us for marketing purposes and for improving our services. Traffic data collection does not follow a user’s activities on any other Websites in any way. Anonymous traffic data may also be shared with business partners and advertisers on an aggregate basis.

We use Non-Personally Identifiable Information to help us understand the characteristics of people who use the Website, and to improve and market the Website in general. We also use the Non-Personally Identifiable Information collected automatically by our servers primarily to help us administer and improve the Website.  In the event that we link any Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Personally Identifiable Information, we will treat such information as Personally Identifiable Information and only use such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
