Overview of Information Collection Policy
In general, you can visit our website without revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself to us. We do not automatically collect any personally identifiable information about you through our website.
Our website does automatically collect non-personally identifiable information about our website users through our server logs and analytics tools, including:
- the amount of time you spend on our website,
- your browser type,
- the domain you visited our website from,
- your IP address, and
- other similar non-personally identifiable information.
The technical information we automatically collect does not enable us to personally identify you and is used to better understand our website traffic. The only personally identifiable information we collect is information you choose to provide us through our contact form and other similar voluntary forms on our website.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and other similar technologies which are automatically generated, sent to your browser, and stored on your hard drive to record information about how and when you use our website.
These cookies and other similar technologies identify a web browser on a specific computer or device and reveal certain non-personally identifiable information such as browser type, language, time zone, and operating system. The cookies and other similar technologies used by our website do not identify the user personally, but allow the user to remain anonymous. Our website and any analytics tools utilized by our website do not attempt to link this non-personally identifiable information with any personally identifiable information. However, non-personally identifiable information may be used in aggregate for statistical purposes, and some of our analytics tools may combine the non-personally identifiable information collected from our website with non-personally identifiable information gathered from you through other websites for target advertising purposes. Our website may still be used with cookies disabled, but some website functionality may be impaired. For information on how to opt-out of having cookies and other similar collection technologies used on your web browser, please see the “Opting Out” section of this policy.
Server Logs
Our server logs non-personally identifiable information about our website users, including HTTP referer information. HTTP refer is an HTTP header field that enables us to identify the domain address that linked you to our website. The only information gathered by our logs is non-personally identifiable information and is used for the purposes stated below.
How We Use Non-Personally Identifiable Information
The non-personally identifiable information that is collected about your visit to our website is used for analytics purposes to better understand our website traffic, interests of our visitors, and for improving our website. This information may be aggregated and shared with third parties, but will not identify you personally.
Opting Out
You can manage cookie preferences and opt-out of having cookies and other similar collection technologies used by adjusting the settings on your web browser. If you do not want cookies stored on your computer, you can change the settings on your browser to notify you when a cookie is about to be saved or block cookies entirely. How to access these settings, which settings are available, and how to turn these settings on varies by browser type and we encourage you to further investigate your browser’s privacy settings if you wish to opt-out or adjust your privacy in any way.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers may send Do Not Track (DNT) signals to our website. Our website does not respond to these DNT signals, and website visitors are subject to the same data tracking and use as detailed in this privacy policy.

Links, Social Media Features, and Widgets
Our website may provide links to other websites for the convenience of our website users. Our website may also make use of social media features and widgets that are hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our website. Your interactions with any social media feature, widget, or link are governed by the privacy policy of the third party providing the social media feature or widget, or the privacy policy of the linked website. The privacy policies of third parties may be substantially different than this privacy policy, and any personally identifiable information collected by or provided to third parties will be guided by the privacy policies of such third parties. We neither own nor control third party websites, social media features, or widgets that are accessible through this website. Therefore, before visiting the website of a third party, or making use of a third party feature on our website, whether by means of a social media feature, widget, or otherwise, you should first consult that third party’s privacy policy (if any) and inform yourself of the privacy practices (if any) used by that third party.
Administrative Areas of Website
We currently analyze our server’s error and access logs to improve our service and to identify IP addresses potentially conducting malicious activity. We reserve the right to use software to lock out an IP address from the administrative or other areas of our website if there has been a suspicious amount of failed log-in attempts from that IP address. This process does not enable us to personally identify the user.
