A. Cookies
The Site uses “cookies.” We may store information about you using the cookies on our Site. A cookie (also called web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie) is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user’s computer by the user’s web browser while the user is browsing. We use cookies to improve your site experience, to assess content usage, to distinguish you from other users of our site and to support the marketing of our services.
You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our website.

Further, if you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, please refer to the file management software to locate the file or directory that stores cookies under the following file names. Other information on deleting or controlling cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. Please note that by deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our site.
B. Web Beacons
Website pages may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages and for other related statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity). We also use these technical methods to analyze the traffic patterns, such as the frequency with which our users visit various parts of the Site. These technical methods may involve the transmission of Information either directly to us or to a third party authorized by us to collect Information on our behalf. Our Site uses retargeting pixels from Google. We also use web beacons in HTML emails that we send to determine whether the recipients have opened those emails and/or clicked on links in those emails.
C. Analytics
Analytics are tools we may use, such as Google Analytics, to help provide us with information about traffic to our website and use of our Site, which Google may share with other services and websites who use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. You can view Google’s Privacy Practices here: Privacy Policy – Privacy & Terms – Google.
D. Mobile Application Technologies
If you access Site through a mobile device, we may automatically collect Information about your device, your phone number, and your physical location.
Our use of online tracking technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain laws. To the extent that these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a “sale” or “sharing” under certain laws, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by submitting a request here.
3. Publicly Available Information
In addition to the Information collected by our Services that is detailed above, we also collect Publicly Available Information or Public Data from various databases, including government entities, commercial data providers, and websites to provide our products and services, including reports, via our website. Publicly Available Information includes information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records and information that we reasonably believe is made available to the general public, for example, by widely distributed media.
We acquire and aggregate this information about individuals, which will include users and non-users.
