Privacy Policy

This privacy policy ('Privacy Policy') is designed to provide you with an overview of what type of information we collect and how that information is used, disclosed and protected with respect to our site ('Site').

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before providing us with any personal information. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, email us at [email protected].

 

Information we collect

There are two basic types of information that is collected from our Site: (i) personally identifiable information and (ii) aggregate information. Personally identifiable information is data that is directly associated with a specific person or entity such as a user's name, e-mail address, or information about activities that is directly linked to that person.

The choice of how much personally identifiable information you disclose to us is completely at your discretion. Some areas of our Site are accessible without registration of any kind, and you can browse those areas of our Site. Other areas of our Site require registration in order for you to participate in the services offered. It is not mandatory for you to register and provide information to us, but please realize that in order for us to serve you better or provide particular features, you will need to provide certain information to access some areas of our Site. We collect information you give us when you register at and use our Site.

Personally identifiable information does not include "aggregate" information. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of services or users from which individual user identities have been removed. Aggregate data may include anonymous demographic information such as country of origin, citizenship, ZIP code, age, gender, preferences and survey information. In other words, how you use our Site may be collected and combined with information about how others use the Site, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data. Aggregate data helps us understand trends and our user's needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor our Site.

Unregistered users
As an unregistered user, you will be able to access many portions of our Site, but will not be able to leverage our personalization features. If you choose to not register, then the information we collect from you is limited. The only information we could collect is your IP address in order to diagnose problems with our servers and usage metrics.
