As you navigate the Services, certain Traffic Data may be passively collected, meaning it is gathered without your actively providing it. This is done using the following technologies in the following ways:
Through your browser: Certain information is collected by most browsers, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type and operating system type and version screen resolution, and Internet browser type and version.
Through your device: If you access the Services through a mobile device or other network-connected product, certain information may be collected about that device, including your device type, network service provider, and other identifiers. We may collect unique device identifiers (such as IDFA and AID tags and UUID and UDID identifiers) associated with the devices you use to access the Services.
Using cookies: Like many organizations, our Services may use “cookies” to help make sure the Services are meeting the needs of our visitors and to help us make improvements and to personalize your experience on the Services. Cookies are bits of text that are placed on your computer’s hard drive when you visit certain websites. We may use cookies set by us on the Services to tell us, for example, whether you have visited us before or if you are a new visitor or the parts of the Services that you use. We use third-party cookies set by our service provider, Google Analytics, to collect information about how visitors use the Services, including how long you spend on each page of our website, and how you got to the website. We do not use data collected by cookies to identify who you are. You can visit
https://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html to learn more about Google Analytics’ use of cookies. You can visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout for information on how to opt out of Google Analytics cookies.
You can refuse our use of some or all cookies by turning off the use of cookies in your web browser. If you use your browser settings to block all types of cookies you may not be able to access all or parts of our Services or functionality may be limited.
You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies.
Changing your internet browser settings can prevent the use of cookies. Each browser has a different procedure for disabling the use of cookies. The Help function within your browser should tell you how. Alternatively, you may visit
http://www.aboutcookies.org where you can review information on how to control cookies on a variety of browsers.
Using Monitoring Tools: Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”) to better tailor the Services in order to provide a better service. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Services. These technologies usually work in conjunction with cookies. To disable cookies used on our Services, and therefore any other tracking technologies that work in conjunction with these cookies, please follow the instructions below.
IP Address: Your IP Address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider. An IP Address is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a visitor visits the Services, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many online service providers, including website operators. We use IP Addresses for purposes such as calculating Services usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, and administering the Services.
Social Media Plug-Ins: We use social media plug-ins from social media networks like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter, which are labeled on our Services with the well-known symbols of the respective social network. If you interact with these plug-ins, your activity on the Services may also be made available to those social networks. In order to understand how those social media networks use and disclose your Personal Information, please review the privacy policies available on the websites of those social media networks.
Do Not Track Signals: Our Services currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals and operates as described in this Notice whether or not a DNT signal is received.
Although our use of passive collection technologies may change over time as technology evolves, the above descriptions are designed to provide you with additional detail about our current approach to information collected from passive technologies.
