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 and browser
type, and the locations of the Web pages the user views right before arriving
at, while navigating and immediately after leaving the Website. Although such
information is not personally identifiable, 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 site. 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
ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
Third Party Advertisers
We may use third-party advertising companies
to serve ads when you visit the Website. These companies may use information
(not including any Personally-Identifying Information) about your visits to
this 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

advertisements and we may use any of the non-personally identifiable attributes
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 and permit 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 provide analytics
services, inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past activity on our
websites and applications, including Google Analytics for Display Advertising. These
vendors may use Web Cookies, Web Beacons and other technologies to collect
information about your use of the Website, our service and other websites,
including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages,
links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by us
and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the
popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your
interests on our service and other websites and better understand your 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.
You can do so by using Google’s Ads Settings (www.google.com/settings/ads). For
more information about interest-based ads, or to opt out in general of having
your web browsing information used for behavioral advertising purposes, please

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 our 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
