Log Files

As a general policy, no personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, is automatically collected from your visit to the Site. The Site follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and a part of hosting services’ analytics. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Information We Ask For

The Site’s mailing lists, downloads, and contact forms may request that you provide your contact information such as your name, email-address, phone number, and other information such as how you found out about us, why you’re interested in our products and services, and the type of service you are interested in. The information you provide will be used by the Company only as necessary for our legitimate business interests, including without limitation the improvement of our products, services and the contents of the Site. Personally identifiable information is never sold or leased to any third parties.

With your permission, we may use your contact information to send you information about our company and products. You may always opt-out of receiving future mailings as provided below or in the unsubscribe link of our mailings. The Company does not store any credit card information it may receive in regard to a specific transaction and/or billing arrangement except as necessary to complete and satisfy its rights and obligations with regard to such transaction, billing arrangement, and/or as otherwise authorized by a user.

The Company may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with the Company’s rights or property, other users of the Site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.

Google Analytics, Ad Words Conversion tracking and remarketing

This Google information focuses on Cross Device Reports and may include end user location, search history, You Tube history, and data from sites that partner with Google and is used to provide aggregated and anonymous insights into the users’ cross-device behaviors. Such data may be accessed and/or deleted by end users via Google My Activity. In addition, users can opt-out of the Google Analytics Advertising Features through their Google Ads Settings, Ad Settings for mobile apps, Google Analytics Op-Out Browser Add-on and the NAI’s consumer opt-out.
