What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We collect both personal information and general information.
General information includes non-personal information from visitors to the site (such as the time of day the site is accessed, the IP address of the visitor, the site from which the visitor comes or the site to which the visitor goes after leaving our sites, which pages of our site the visitor visits, etc.), information in aggregate form (such as statistics relating to the number and frequency of visitors, which pages are visited most frequently), and information in de-personalized form (such as the number of visitors of a certain gender or age, or the number of visitors from a certain region, etc.). If you have provided us with personal information, general information can be coupled with your personal information, or it can be decoupled from your personal information.
Personal information is specific to you and includes such things as your e-mail address, name, and mailing address. This type of information is sometimes called “personally identifiable information.” We collect information provided by you directly or indirectly by monitoring and collecting the information.
