What We Collect

We collect information from you and your devices. We also receive information about you from third parties. We collect two types of information about you: "Personal Information" and "Non-Personal Information."

"Personal Information" is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact you. "Non-Personal Information" includes technical data that, alone, cannot be used to identify you and includes information about how you access and use our Websites. Please note that over time, non-personal information may become personal information due to regulatory developments, technological advancements, or the co-mingling of personal and non-personal information. Specifically, we collect the following information in the following ways:

  • Registering with our Websites: We may collect personal information (which may include first and last name, home or other physical address, email address, telephone number, driver’s license number, account number(s) at a bank or financial institution, and job history information) about you or others when you voluntarily submit it to us, for example, as part of a job application or when you join a mailing list.
  • Requests for information: If you submit feedback, questions, or requests for information about our products and services, we may request your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address in order to respond to your inquiries.
  • Website browsing information: When you visit any website, including our Websites, your browser may automatically send certain information such as browser type, browser language preference, operating system, internet service provider, IP address, device identification number, geo-location data, and online browsing data (like date and time of access to our website, referring website address, pages viewed, features used, links clicked, and other actions you take in connection with the website, sometimes referred to as "clickstream data").
  • Tracking information: When you visit our Websites, automated collection tools such as "cookies" and "web beacons" may gather Non-Personal Information about your visit and your computer.
    • A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer that lets us know whether you've visited the website before as well as your navigation experience during your visit. Cookies may be used to facilitate your access to our Websites, enhance and personalize your online experience, and recognize your computer or your device.
    • Web beacons are small graphics placed on our Websites and in email communications that may be used to measure the effectiveness of our Websites and email communications. Web beacons on our Websites may collect information about your visit, like the pages you view, the features you use, the links you click and other actions you take in connection with our Websites. Web beacons in our emails may track your interactions with those messages, such as when you receive, open, forward, or click a link in an email message from us.
  • Google Analytics — To help facilitate the delivery of relevant content, we may use Google Analytics and Google Advertising Features, including Remarketing, Impression Reporting, Demographics, and Interest Reporting. Google Analytics uses cookies to report on user interactions on our Websites. We may use the data collected for optimizing marketing, refining advertising, and generally making advertising more effective. Google provides a complete privacy policy and instructions on opting out of Google Analytics here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html

We may tie non-personal information with personal information to provide you with customized recommendations, to help authenticate you or other data or information that you may provide, to prevent fraud, and to ensure that our Websites meet your needs. When we tie non-personal information with personal information, it is considered "personal information" for the purposes of this Privacy Statement.
