We collect three basic types of information from you in conjunction with your use of the Site:

  1. Personal information, which is any information that individually identifies you (e.g., your name, email address, telephone number, postal address, credit card information),

  2. Non-personal information, which is information that does not personally identify you but may include information about your interests, demographics (e.g., age, gender, occupation) and use of the Sites, and

  3. Device information, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.

We do not knowingly collect any information, personal or otherwise from children under the age of 13 without the express consent of their parent or guardian. We collect this information in the following ways:

Your IP Address:
Like most business websites, each time you visit the Site, we automatically collect your IP address and the web page from which you came.
