The rest of this section details these two types of Information.

Information that cannot be used to identify you
To use our Services, you do not need to submit Information that can be used to identify you. We do, however, collect Information that cannot be used to directly identify you. This type of Information can be called non-personal Information (“Aggregated Information”). Although Aggregated Information cannot identify you, we still feel it is important to share our practices with you.
Aggregated Information is collected automatically by technology to improve the quality of the Service. Examples include:
· We track Aggregated Information provided to us by your browser or by our software application when you view or use the Service, such as the website you came from (known as the “referring URL”),
· Type of browser you use,
· Type of device from which you connected to the Service,

· Other Aggregated Information that does not personally identify you.
We may also receive non-personal information, such as aggregated or de-identified demographic/profile information, from third-party sources such as companies that specialize in providing enterprise information, analytics, and software as a service. We may also use clear gifs, pixel tags and web beacons, which are tiny graphic images placed on website pages and/or emails that allow us to determine whether you’ve performed specific actions and are further used to track online movements of our users.
We also track Aggregated Information using cookies, or small text files which include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to a user’s browser from our servers and are stored on the user’s computer hard drive. Sending a cookie to a user’s browser enables us to collect general data about that user and keep a record of the user’s preferences when utilizing our services, both on an individual and aggregate basis.
We may use both persistent and session cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your session and until you delete them. Session cookies expire when you close your browser.
