The personally identifiable information which you may provide to us could include your name, physical address, telephone number, e-mail address, job title, payment information or other information you provide.

This information may include the type of browser or device operating system you use, the website that linked you to our Website, the date and time of your visit, the time you spend and the pages you view on the Website, as well as your Internet Protocol (IP) address.
An “IP address” is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your device when you connect to the Internet. It is used to identify your device’s “location” in cyberspace, so that the information you request can be delivered to you. IP addresses do not include your name, e-mail address, or other information that identifies you personally, but note that in some cases, they can be used to identify you or your device.
We may also aggregate information collected from Website visitors, such as the number of users in a particular region or having particular characteristics.

- We will use personally identifiable information to operate the Website and to provide you with any specific services that you have requested.

- We may permit our vendors and subcontractors (such as our email service providers, payment processors (including with respect to donations or purchases made), website host and form providers, etc.) to access your personally identifiable information, but they are only permitted to do so in connection with performing services for us. They are not authorized by us to use the information for their own benefit.
- We may disclose personally identifiable information as required by law or legal process.
- We may disclose personally identifiable information to investigate suspected fraud, harassment or other violations of any law, rule or regulation, or the policies for the Website.

Cookies and Similar Technologies: We may store some information on your device or device hard drive as a “cookie” or similar type of file (such as clear gifs, web beacons, tags, and similar technologies that work on mobile devices) to collect data related to usage of the Website and for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with the Website. Such data may include, without limitation, the address of the websites you visited before and after you visited the Website, the type of browser you are using, your IP address, what pages on the Website you visit and what links you clicked on. We use this information to help us maintain and enhance the efficiency and usefulness of the Website and may use it and other non-personally identifiable information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Some of the information we collect may include data, such as IP address data, that are unique to your computer or device. To be clear, some of this data, such as IP address data, may be considered and specifically defined as “personal data” in certain jurisdictions, including the European Economic Area (EEA).
We may also use and place cookies on your device from our third party service providers in connection with the Website, such as an analytics provider that helps us manage and analyze Website usage. An example of such third party is Google Analytics, which we use to collect and analyze demographic and other information, and through which Google will collect certain information to be used according to Google’s privacy practices. To opt-out of the use of Google Analytics, click here. We use session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain active on your hard drive until they expire or are deleted.
If you want to stop or restrict the placement of cookies or flush any cookies that may already be on your computer or device, please refer to and adjust your web browser preferences. Further information on cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. By deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our Website or some of its functionality may be affected. Cookies and similar items are not used by us to automatically retrieve personally identifiable information from your device without your knowledge.
DoubleClick by Google. We use DoubleClick, an ad serving service provided by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to personalize ads. Your browser is assigned a pseudonymous ID used to track the ads that have been served to your browser, and to identify those you’ve clicked. The cookies enable Google and its partners to select and display ads based on your browsing behavior on websites including the Website. If you object to data being collected, transferred and processed by Google, you may opt-out by changing your ad settings by clicking here.
Interest-Based Advertising: Third parties may use information collected about you on the Website in connection with their own information to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit other websites. Cookies, described above, may be used in this process. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product or service, our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on other websites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising is called “behavioral advertising” or “interest-based advertising.” We believe that such advertising is helpful because you will see ads that are relevant to your interests. We comply with the self-regulatory principles for online behavioral advertising set forth by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (“EDAA”). You can opt-out of behavioral advertising from certain providers at www.aboutads.info/consumers. EU residents who have provided their consent to our use of cookies and similar technologies can use the EDAA’s opt out tool which can be found at www.youronlinechoices.eu.
Security and Data Retention: We have undertaken and will undertake commercially reasonable efforts designed to prevent unauthorized access to user data retained in our servers, however, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information provided online. We will retain your information for as long as your account or inquiry is active or as needed to provide you with the Website and for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your personally identifiable information, we may continue to retain and use aggregate or anonymous data previously collected and/or anonymize or aggregate your personally identifiable information. Please note that we will not be liable for disclosures of your data due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties.
Other Websites, Apps and Services: As a convenience to you, we may provide links to third party websites, apps or services from within the Website.
