Also, when you use the Service (including through your mobile device or computer), we collect technical information that is automatically recorded by the standard operation of our Internet servers. This information includes but is not limited to: the operating system you are using; IP addresses; browser type; the sections of the Service you visit; the Service pages read and images viewed; log information; time zone; unique application numbers or device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
This information may also be used for other purposes on an aggregate basis and in a de-identified form, including: (i) for Service and system administration; (ii) to improve the Service; (iii) to conduct internal reviews of the number of users to the Service; (iv) to help us better understand how users interact with the Service; (v) to respond to specific requests from users; and (vi) to protect the security or integrity of the Service when necessary.
Cookies
When you use the Service, we may deploy a “cookie” to your browser or place it on the hard drive of your computer, which allows the Service to remember who you are. Cookies provide additional functionality to digital platforms to better match users’ interests and preferences and enhance security. With most Internet browsers, you can erase cookies, block the creation of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored, although doing so may affect your use of the Service and your ability to access certain features of the Service. Please refer to your browser instructions or the help section of your browser to learn more about these functions.
Web Beacons
Our Service may also use web beacons. When you access certain pages of the Service, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated. These technologies usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you do not want your cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies. If you turn off cookies, web beacons will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.
Mobile Devices
When you download and install the App onto your mobile device, we assign a random number to your App installation. This number cannot be used to identify you personally, and we cannot identify you personally unless you choose to become a registered user of the App. We use this random number in a manner similar to our use of cookies, as described above. Unlike cookies, however, the random number is assigned to your installation of the App itself and not to a browser, because the App does not work through your browser. Therefore the random number cannot be removed through the modification of any settings. If you do not want us to use the random number for those same purposes for which we use cookies, please do not use our mobile device App. Because some of the content on our mobile device App directs your mobile device to our website, you will be exposed to the cookies that we use and to third party cookies that may be contained in advertisements that we do not control. We will be unable to delete any of these cookies with your mobile device. Therefore, if you do not want to be exposed to cookies when you use your mobile device you should not use our mobile device App and you should set your mobile device to reject cookies when you use our mobile optimized sites. Our use of cookies and web beacons on our mobile optimized sites are similar to our use of cookies and web beacons on our websites. Your choice to reject cookies is available on our mobile optimized site. If you have questions about how to reject cookies on your specific device please check with the device manufacturer.
