Data Collected from Technology:
Some Personal Data is collected automatically when you visit the Site. When a visitor connects to the Site, our web server may automatically recognize the visitor’s domain name and email address, where possible.
We use data collection devices such as “cookies” on certain pages of the Site as a convenience for users, so that users are not required to input the same information repeatedly when navigating different parts of the Site or during repeat visits. Cookies are small text files transferred from your browser to a web server, which enable a website to recognize a repeat visitor.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can configure your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the choice to accept or reject it. While we use cookies to track your visit to the Site, our web servers may automatically log the IP address of your computer.
If you are browsing the Site without logging in, we will not request that you directly submit any Personal Data. However, certain information (which may be considered Personal Data), such as computer and connection information, browser type and version, operating system, platform details, and the time of accessing the Site, will be automatically collected.
