Information we may collect automatically 

In addition to information you choose to provide to us, the Company and our service providers also use standard technologies to automatically collect certain additional information. For example:

■ IP Address and Other Identifiers. When you access and interact with the Site and our Services, we and our service providers may collect information about your visits in order to permit you to connect to and obtain the Services and to permit us to better understand the frequency with which specific visitors visit various parts of our Services. For example, we may collect your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, which identifies the computer or service provider that you use to access the Services, or information about your browser type, authentication identifiers, and other software and hardware information. If you access the Site or use the Services through a mobile or other device,we may collect your mobile device identifier, geolocation data (including your precise location), or other transactional information for that device. We may combine this information with other information that we have collected to make our Services and our communications to you more targeted to your interests.

When you access the Site and our Services through social media services or when you connect a Service to social media services, you are authorizing us to collect, store, and use such information and content in accordance with this Policy.
■ Cookies. Our Services may also use cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user’s computer and allow websites to remember information about users. We and our service providers use cookies for a variety of purposes in order to enhance the quality of our sites. We use transient cookies (also called “session ID cookies”) to provide continuity from page to page. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. We also use persistent cookies, which allow parts of the Site to recognize your browser when you return after your first visit to that part of the Siteand also track your activity after you have left the Site, serving you marketing content on partner and affiliate sites.

The Services may use other tracking tools, including, but not limited to, so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “web bugs,” and “clear GIFs” (collectively, “Web Beacons”), to collect user activity information about your activities on the Services. These are small electronic images embedded in web content (including online ads) and e-mail messages and are ordinarily not visible to users. Web Beacons enable us to track pages and content accessed and viewed by users. Also, when we send HTML-formatted (as opposed to plain text) e-mails to you, Web Beacons may be embedded in such e-mails to allow us to monitor readership levels so that we can identify aggregate trends and individual usage to provide our audiences with more relevant content or offers. Web Beacons in e-mails may recognize activities such as when an e-mail was opened, how many times an e-mail was forwarded, which links in the e-mail were clicked on, etc. Web Beacons cannot be declined when delivered via a regular web page. Web Beacons can be refused when delivered via e-mail, but, if you do not wish to receive Web Beacons via e-mail, you need to disable HTML images or refuse HTML (select Text only) e-mails via your e-mail software.

We may verify your identity in a few different ways. We may work with a third-party identification service to help us verify your identity and prevent fraudulent requests. When you make your request, you will be asked to answer a few questions about yourself to help us verify your identity. If you have an account, we may ask you to log into your account and complete a validation.

In some instances, we may ask you to provide other documentation to verify your identity. If this happens, we will reach out to you directly with this request.

What if you cannot verify my identity?

If we cannot verify your identity, we will not be able to process your request to know what personal information we have about you or to delete the personal information we have about you. If we are unable to verify your identity with a high degree of certainty, we will only be able to provide a report with category-level information and we may not be able to delete some of your information.

If you are submitting a request on behalf of another person, we require a valid power of attorney and a signed attestation form.  If you do not have a valid power of attorney, we require an authorization document and a copy of the consumer’s government-issued photo identification in addition to our attestation form. Our attestation form can be downloaded from the request form.
