B. ONLINE TRACKING
1. Personal Information and Non-Personal Information
As used herein, the term “Personal Information” means information that personally identifies an individual (such as a name, address, phone number, social security number, email address, occupation, title or position, credit card number, or any other identifier that permits the physical or online contacting of a specific individual), or other information about that individual that is directly linked to any personally identifying information listed above. We do not acquire any sensitive personal data such as ethnic origins or political opinions.
In contrast, as used herein, the term “Non-Personal Information” is general information collected in the aggregate to help us understand how the Sites are being used, from which individual identities or other Personal Information has been removed. This information may include, for example, the time and duration of a visit, type of web browser used, the operating system/platform you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the websites from which you linked to us, your CPU speed and your general activity on a Site (“Non-Personal Information”). This Policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of Non-Personal Information.
2. Categories of Personally Identifying Information That We Collect
Active Collection: We collect information from you in various ways when you visit the Sites. If you choose to provide us with Personal Information about yourself, either through a form on our Sites or by sending us an email, we may collect and use that information to contact you and send you additional information.

We treat this information as Personal Information if we combine it with or link it to any Personal Information (i.e., personally identifying information), as defined above.
