What information we collect
The information we collect on our
Site generally falls into the following two categories: Personally
Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Personally
Identifiable Information: This refers to information that
lets us know the specifics of who you are. The Personally
Identifiable Information we collect when you use our Site
may include your name, mailing address, phone number, e-mail
address, employer, credit card number, expiration date, shipping
address, id numbers, login names, passwords, public postings,
prospect email address, and job title. We request Personally
Identifiable Information when you order a product or service,
participate in certain promotional activities, fill out surveys,
and correspond with us. We also collect Personally Identifiable
Information when you ask that we send products or information
directly to other people; in these cases, we will collect
the information you submit about the recipient. It will be
clear when you are on a part of our Site that requires personal
information, because we will ask you for it and you will have
a choice
about how we use that information.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information
that does not by itself identify a specific individual. The
non-personally identifiable data we collect when you visit
our Site may include the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL")
(1) of the Web site that you came from before visiting
our Site, which pages you visit on our Site, which URL you
next go to, which browser you used to come to our Site, your
Internet Protocol ("IP") (2) address, and any search
terms entered on our Site. This Statement also contains more
