2.2. WHAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DOES COMPANY COLLECT?
(a) AUTOMATIC COLLECTION. Our servers automatically recognize visitors’ domain
names and IP addresses (the number assigned to computers on the Internet). No
personal information about you is revealed in this process. The Site may also gather
anonymous “traffic data” that does not personally identify you, but that may be helpful
for marketing purposes or for improving the services we offer.
(b) COOKIES. From time to time, we may use the standard “cookies” feature of major
browser applications that allows us to store a small piece of data on your computer
about your visit to our Site. Cookies help us learn which areas of our Site are useful and
which areas need improvement.

pieces. Your personally identifiable information will not be revealed.

offered by us or to comply with the law. Your personally identifiable information is not
given to third parties that will market to you.
(b) ANONYMOUS INFORMATION. We use anonymous information to analyze our
Site traffic. In addition, we may use anonymous IP addresses to help diagnose

your preferences. Traffic and transaction information may also be shared with business
partners and advertisers on an aggregate and anonymous basis.
(c) USE OF COOKIES. We may use cookies to gather information on where you
move about the Site. The purpose of this is to analyze how the Site is performing and
the type of information visitors prefer and do not prefer. We do not use cookies for the
purpose personalizing our own advertising to you or to allow third party advertisers and
partners to do so.
(d) DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION. We may disclose personal
information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is
necessary to (1) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on
Company or its parent company, subsidiaries or affiliates, (2) protect and defend the
rights or property of Company or the users of the Site, or (3) act under exigent
circumstances to protect the safety of the public or users of the Site.

acquired by a third party, your personally identifiable information will be one of the
assets transferred to the acquirer.
(f) DMCA CLAIM DISCLOSURES. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright
Act of 1998, better known as the “DMCA”. Should we receive a claim of copyright
infringement, we will comply with the safe harbor requirements of the DMCA. Part of
that compliance may require the disclosure of your identity if you are either the allegedly
infringing party or the party filing the copyright infringement complaint.
