Information You Provide
This Site actively collects information from its visitors both by asking you specific questions, by allowing you to log in and create a user profile, by allowing you to upload product program data, and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via email, feedback forms, and contests. Some of the information that you submit is likely to be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, street address, email address, and telephone number).

Some areas of the Site ask you to submit personally identifiable information in order for you to benefit from the specified features or to participate in a particular activity.

Passive Information Collection [CONFIRM COOKIES ETC]
As you navigate through this Site, certain anonymous information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream). Your Internet browser automatically transmits to this Site some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the Site you just came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your computer is currently using. This Site may also collect anonymous information from your computer through cookies and Internet tags or web beacons. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of this Site might not work without cookies.

This Site may use and combine such passively collected anonymous information to provide better service to Site visitors, customize the Site based on your preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends, and otherwise administer and improve the Site for your use. We may at times combine personally identifiable information with passively collected information in order to personalize offers and the Site for our users (for example, combined information may allow us to recommend products or features to you based on what you have liked in the past).
