What Types of Information do the Companies Collect?
At various times, the Companies may collect “Non-Personal Information” and “Personal Information.” “Non-Personal Information” is information that cannot directly be connected to a specific person without being compiled with additional information.

On the other hand, “Personal Information” can be directly associated with a specific person, without any additional information, such as a first and last name, an e-mail address, mailing address, or a telephone number. For example, “John Doe of 123 Any Street, Joliet, Illinois,” would constitute Personal Information. If you have questions about the distinction between Non-Personal Information and Personal Information, please contact us using the information listed below “Questions”.

What is the Scope of the Policy?
The policy governs the treatment of Non-Personal Information and Personal Information obtained through (i) our websites, (ii) e-mail correspondence and text chat with the Companies, (iii) telephone calls with the Companies, (iv) in-person correspondence with the Companies, (v) mail or other correspondence with the Companies, (vi) information provided to us by third-party sources, and (vii) any other sources.

How does the Website Respond to Do-Not-Track Signals?
Major commercial web browsers allow users an option to send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites, requesting such sites not use online tracking mechanisms for the user. If you opt through your web browser to send a “Do Not Track” signal, and our website receives the signal, our website is designed to honor the “Do Not Track” request regarding web data. The website uses a third-party DoNotTrack plugin on the WordPress platform. While no third-party plugin is foolproof, we use the DoNotTrack plugin through the WordPress platform because of its trusted reputation in the industry. While we exercised our best efforts in selecting this plugin, we make no warranty regarding the effectiveness of this plugin or any other third-party security plugin.
