How Our Web Sites Work
For each visitor to our Web site, our Web server automatically recognizes your IP address. The address allows our server to deliver the information you request from us, such as a form for posting to a discussion board. We also collect visitors' IP addresses in their domain-name form, allowing us to understand for instance how many customers access our site through various service providers. We collect this information on an individual basis and in aggregate, or combined, form.
We also collect both user-specific and aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit. We use the information to improve the content of our Web pages, to customize the content and layout of our pages, and to notify consumers about updates to our site. We share this information with trusted partners. We or our partners may use this information to contact visitors for marketing purposes; however, you are always in control of these communications.
If at any time you provide us with your email address to place an order or access a service, we collect that information. Areas we may collect your email address include but are not limited to discussion boards; chat areas; product or service transactions; emails you send us; and interactive forms. Finally, we keep any information volunteered by the consumer, such as survey information and/or site registrations.
If you do not want to receive e-mail from us in the future, please let us know by using the response device that can be found at the end of every email we deliver.
