transfer and use of your personal information in accordance with
this Privacy Policy. You also agree to abide by the applicable

Further, note that your jurisdiction may offer a more limited or

BY USING OR ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE
PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
GATHERING, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION
Users of the Website Generally
“Non-Personally Identifying Information” is information that,
without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly
associated with a specific person. “Personally Identifying
Information,” by contrast, is information such as a name or email
address that, without more, can be directly associated with a
specific person.
Like most website operators, Company gathers from users of the
Website Non-Personally Identifying Information of the sort that
Web browsers, depending on their settings, may make available.
That information includes the user’s Internet Protocol (IP)
address, operating system, browser type and the locations of the
websites the user views right before arriving at, while navigating
and immediately after leaving the Website. Although such
information is not Personally Identifying Information, it may be
possible for Company to determine from an IP address a user’s
Internet service provider and the geographic location of the
visitor’s point of connectivity as well as other statistical usage
data. Company analyzes Non-Personally Identifying Information
gathered from users of the Website to help Company better
understand how the Website is being used. By identifying patterns
and trends in usage, Company is able to better design the Website
to improve users’ experiences, both in terms of content and ease
of use.
From time to time, Company may also release the Non-Personally
Identifying Information gathered from Website users in the
aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage
of the Website.
Web Cookies
A “Web Cookie” is a string of information which assigns you a
unique identification that a website stores on a user’s computer,
and that the user’s browser provides to the website each time the
user submits a query to the website. We use cookies on the Website
to keep track of services you have used, to record registration
information regarding your login name and password, to record your
user preferences, to keep you logged into the Website and to
facilitate purchase procedures. Company also uses Web Cookies to
track the pages that users visit during each Website session, both
to help Company improve users’ experiences and to help Company
understand how the Website is being used. As with other
Non-Personally Identifying Information gathered from users of the
Website, Company analyzes and discloses in aggregated form
information gathered using Web Cookies, so as to help Company, its
partners and others better understand how the Website is being
used.
COMPANY USERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON
THEIR COMPUTERS SHOULD SET THEIR BROWSERS TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES
BEFORE ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT
CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE WEBSITE MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY
WITHOUT THE AID OF WEB COOKIES. WEBSITE USERS WHO REFUSE WEB
COOKIES MAY LOSE FUNCTIONALITY OR USE OF CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE
WEBSITE.
Third-Party Advertisers
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you
visit the Website. These companies may use information about your
visits to the Website and other websites that are contained in Web
Cookies in order to provide advertisements about goods and
services of interest to you. Using a tool created by the Network
Advertising Initiative, you can opt out of several third-party ad
servers’ and networks’ Web Cookies simultaneously. If you would
like more information about this practice and to know your choices
about not having this information used by these companies, please
follow the instructions and links here: http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/
and
http://preferences-mgr.truste.com, or http://www.aboutads.info/choices. Please contact us if you would like to know the identity of the
third-party advertising companies we are currently using to serve
ads.
We may allow advertisers to choose the characteristics of users
who will see their advertisements, and we may use any of the
Non-Personally Identifying Information we have collected
(including information you may have decided not to show to other
users, such as your birth year or other sensitive personal
information or preferences) to select the appropriate audience for
those advertisements. We do not identify you to the advertiser.
Web Beacons
A “Web Beacon” is an object that is embedded in a web page or
email that is usually invisible to the user and allows website
operators to check whether a user has viewed a particular web page
or an email. Company may use Web Beacons on the Website and in
emails to count users who have visited particular pages, viewed
emails and to deliver co-branded services. Web Beacons are not
used to access users’ Personally Identifying Information. They are
a technique Company may use to compile aggregated statistics about
Website usage. Web Beacons collect only a limited set of
information, including a Web Cookie number, time and date of a
page or email view and a description of the page or email on which
the Web Beacon resides. You may not decline Web Beacons. However,
they can be rendered ineffective by declining all Web Cookies or
modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a Web
Cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline Web
Cookies on an individual basis.
Analytics
We may use third-party vendors, including Google, who use
first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and
third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to
inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past activity on the
Website, including Google Analytics for Display Advertising. The
information collected may be used to, among other things, analyze
and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and
better understand online activity. If you do not want any
information to be collected and used by Google Analytics, you can
install an opt-out in your web browser (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) and/or opt out from Google Analytics for Display Advertising or
the Google Display Network by using Google’s Ads help (https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en).
Aggregated and Non-Personally Identifying Information
We may share aggregated and Non-Personally Identifying Information
we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may also share
it with third parties and our affiliate companies to develop and
deliver targeted advertising on the Website and on websites of
third parties. We may combine Non-Personally Identifying
Information we collect with additional Non-Personally Identifying
Information collected from other sources. We also may share
aggregated information with third parties, including advisors,
advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting general
business analysis. For example, we may tell our advertisers the
number of visitors to the Website and the most popular features or
services accessed. This information does not contain any
Personally Identifying Information and may be used to develop
website content and services that we hope you and other users will
find of interest and to target content and advertising.
In addition, Company may make use of de-identified information in
accordance with applicable privacy law.
Mobile Device Additional Terms
-
Mobile Device. If you use a mobile device to
access the Website or download any of our applications, we may
collect device information (such as your mobile device ID, model
and manufacturer), operating system, version information and IP
address.
-
Geo-Location Information. Unless we have
received your prior consent, we do not access or track any
location-based information from your mobile device at any time
while downloading or using our services, except that it may be
possible for Company to determine from an IP address the
geographic location of your point of connectivity, in which case
we may gather and use such general location data.
-
Mobile Analytics. We use mobile analytics
software to allow us to better understand the functionality of
our mobile software on your phone. This software may record
information, such as how often you use the application, the
events that occur within the application, aggregated usage,
performance data and where the application was downloaded from.
We do not link the information we store within the analytics
software to any Personally Identifying Information you submit
within the mobile application.
SOCIAL MEDIA
We may use hyperlinks on the Website which will redirect you to a
social network if you click on the respective link. However, when
you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook’s “Like” button,
Twitter’s “tweet” button or the Google+, that particular social
network’s plugin will be activated and your browser will directly
connect to that provider’s servers. If you do not use these
buttons, none of your data will be sent to the respective social
network’s plugin provider. So for example, when you click on the
Facebook’s “Like” button on the Website, Facebook will receive
your IP address, the browser version and screen resolution, and
the operating system of the device you have used to access the
Website. Settings regarding privacy protection can be found on the
websites of these social networks and are not within our control.
COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION
Website Registration
As defined above, Personally Identifying Information is
information that can be directly associated with a specific
person. Company may collect a range of Personally Identifying
Information from and about Website users. Much of the Personally
Identifying Information collected by Company about users is
information provided by users themselves when (1) registering for
our service, (2) participating in polls, contests, surveys or
other features of our service, or responding to offers or
advertisements, (3) communicating with us, (4) creating a profile
or (5) signing up to receive newsletters. That information may
include each user’s name, photo, email address and telephone
number, and, if you transact business with us, financial

type, expiration date or other financial information). We also may
request information about your interests and activities, your
gender, age, date of birth, username, hometown and other
demographic or relevant information as determined by Company from
time to time. Users of the Website are under no obligation to
provide Company with Personally Identifying Information of any
kind, with the caveat that a user’s refusal to do so may prevent
the user from using certain Website features.
BY REGISTERING WITH OR USING THE WEBSITE, YOU CONSENT TO THE
USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION AS
DESCRIBED IN THIS “COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF
PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION” SECTION.
Online Postings
Certain Personally Identifying Information collected from users
may be disclosed as a matter of course as a result of your use of
the Website. We may provide areas on the Website where you can
post reviews and other information relating to your activities on
the Website. Such postings are governed by our Terms of Use. In
addition, such postings may appear on other websites or when
searches are executed on the subject of your posting. Also,
whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on
publicly-viewable web pages, that information will be publicly
available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if
you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages.
We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may
do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you
to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal
information.
USERS ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF PRIVACY OR
OTHER HARM RESULTING FROM THEIR VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE OF
PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION.

particular, we may examine your Personally Identifying Information

responsible for third-party circumvention of any privacy
settings or security measures.
We are dedicated to protect all information on the Website as is
necessary. However, you are responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of your Personally Identifying Information by
keeping your password confidential. You should change your

Information, there is always some risk that an unauthorized third
party may find a way around our security systems or that

regarding the sufficiency of the above security measures. No data
transmission over the Internet or through mobile devices can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your
personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure,
we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us on the Website. There is no guarantee that
