GATHERING, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION
Users of the Website Generally
“Non-Personally-Identifying Information" is information that, without the aid of additional
information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person. “Personally-Identifying
Information," by contrast, is information such as a name or email address that, without more,
can be directly associated with a specific person. Like most website operators, Company
gathers from users of the Website Non-Personally-Identifying Information of the sort that Web
browsers, depending on their settings, may make available. That information includes the user's
Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and the locations of the websites
the user views right before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving the
Website. Although such information is not Personally-Identifying Information, it may be possible
for Company to determine from an IP address a user's Internet service provider and the
geographic location of the visitor's point of connectivity as well as other statistical usage data.
The Company analyzes Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the
Website to help the Company better understand how the Website is being used. By identifying
patterns and trends in usage, the Company is able to better design the Website to improve
users' experiences, both in terms of content and ease of use. From time to time, the Company
may also release the Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from Website users in the
aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Website.
Web Cookies
A “Web Cookie” is a string of information which assigns you a unique identification that a
website stores on a user's computer, and that the user's browser provides to the website each
time the user submits a query to the website. We use cookies on the Website to keep track of
services you have used, to record registration information regarding your login name and
password, to record your user preferences, to keep you logged into the Website and to facilitate
purchase procedures. The Company also uses Web Cookies to track the pages that users visit
during each Website session, both to help the Company improve users' experiences and to help
Company understand how the Website is being used. As with other Non-Personally-Identifying
Information gathered from users of the Website, the Company analyzes and discloses in
aggregated form information gathered using Web Cookies, so as to help the Company, its
partners and others better understand how the Website is being used. COMPANY USERS
WHO DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON THEIR COMPUTERS SHOULD
SET THEIR BROWSERS TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE
WEBSITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE WEBSITE
MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF WEB COOKIES. WEBSITE USERS
WHO REFUSE WEB COOKIES ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING
LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
Web Beacons
A “Web Beacon" is an object that is embedded in a web page or email that is usually invisible to
the user and allows website operators to check whether a user has viewed a particular web
page or an email. The Company may use Web Beacons on the Website and in emails to count
users who have visited particular pages, viewed emails and to deliver co-branded services. Web
Beacons are not used to access users' Personally-Identifying Information. They are a technique
the Company may use to compile aggregated statistics about Website usage. Web Beacons
collect only a limited set of information, including a Web Cookie number, time and date of a
page or email view and a description of the page or email on which the Web Beacon resides.
You may not decline Web Beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all
Web Cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a Web Cookie is
tendered, permitting you to accept or decline Web Cookies on an individual basis.
Analytics
We may use third-party vendors, including Google, who use first-party cookies (such as the
Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to
inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past activity on the Website, including Google
Analytics for Display Advertising. The information collected may be used to, among other things,
analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online
activity. If you do not want any information to be collected and used by Google Analytics, you
can install an opt-out in your web browser (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/) and/or opt
out from Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network by using
Google's Ads Settings (www.google.com/settings/ads).
Aggregated and Non-Personally-Identifying Information
We may share aggregated and Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect under any of
the above circumstances. We may also share it with third parties and our affiliate companies to
develop and deliver targeted advertising on the Website and on websites of third parties. We
may combine Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect with additional Non-Personally
Identifying Information collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated information
with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting
general business analysis. For example, we may tell our advertisers the number of visitors to
the Website and the most popular features or services accessed. This information does not
contain any Personally-Identifying Information and may be used to develop website content and
services that we hope you and other users will find of interest and to target content and
advertising.

• Mobile Device. If you use a mobile device to access the Website or download any of our
applications, we may collect device information (such as your mobile device ID, model and
manufacturer), operating system, version information and IP address.
• Geo-Location Information. Unless we have received your prior consent, we do not access or
track any location-based information from your mobile device at any time while downloading or
using our mobile application or our services, except that it may be possible for the Company to
determine from an IP address the geographic location of your point of connectivity, in which
case we may gather and use such general location data.

know when someone has sent you a message or for other service-related matters. If you wish to
opt-out from receiving these types of communications, you may turn them off in your device's

functionality of our mobile software on your phone. This software may record information, such
as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated
usage, performance data and where the application was downloaded from. We do not link the
information we store within the analytics software to any Personally-Identifying Information you
submit within the mobile application.
SOCIAL MEDIA
The Company may provide you the option to connect your account on the Website to your
account on some social networking sites for the purpose of logging in, uploading information or
enabling certain features on the Website. When logging in using your social network credentials,
we may collect the Personally-Identifying Information you have made publicly available on the
social networking site, such as your name, profile picture, cover photo, username, gender,
friends network, age range, locale, friend list and any other information you have made public.
Once connected, other users may also be able to see information about your social network,
such as the size of your network and your friends, including common friends. By connecting
your account on the Website to your account on any social networking site, you hereby consent
to the continuous release of information about you to us. We will not send any of your account
information to the connected social networking site without first disclosing that to you. Each
social network may further allow you to set privacy controls around your information on their
system, and our collection of information will always follow such controls and permissions. This
feature is subject to continuous change and improvement by us and each social networking site
involved, and therefore the available features and shared information are subject to change
without notice to you.
We may use hyperlinks on the Website which will redirect you to a social network if you click on
the respective link. However, when you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook's like"
button, Twitter’s “tweet” button or the Google+, that particular social network's plugin will be
activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider’s servers. If you do not use
these buttons, none of your data will be sent to the respective social network's plugin provider.
So for example, when you click on the Facebook's like" button on the Website, Facebook will
receive your IP address, the browser version and screen resolution, and the operating system of
the device you have used to access the Website. Settings regarding privacy protection can be
found on the websites of these social networks and are not within our control.
