How we collect your information

We gather information from you when you register on our site or complete a form. However, we do not mandate personal information for accessing our websites, allowing you to browse our sites anonymously. If you choose not to disclose personal information, be aware that you may not be able to access certain features of our websites. Personal information identifies you and can be used to contact you. We may collect several forms of personally identifiable information from different means:

Information You Provide to Us: The majority of the personal information we acquire comes directly from our users. This information may include your Name, E-mail Address, and/or Telephone Number. We may collect personal information from users for purposes such as participating in contests, sweepstakes, or promotions; providing feedback or other business inquiries; and signing up to receive newsletters.

Information Collected Through Technology: We use technology to collect information that enhances your experience on our websites. For instance, when you visit our websites, your IP address is collected. An IP address is often associated with your Internet service provider (ISP), company, or university. By itself, your IP address is not personally identifiable. Occasionally, we use IP addresses to gauge how frequently users visit different sections of our websites. We do not merge the information collected through technology with your personally identifiable information.

Cookies: Our websites employ cookies—small pieces of information sent by a website to your computer while you are browsing. Cookies provide information that helps websites remember your identity upon returning. You can choose to receive warnings whenever a cookie is being sent or opt to disable all cookies. This can be done through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may limit access to features that enhance your browsing experience.
