This Privacy Policy Applies To Information We Collect From You
This statement describes our privacy practices for the websites where it is posted. This includes mobile websites, text programs and applications. It also applies to information we may otherwise collect in other places offline.
We May Collect Information From You In Many Ways
We collect information directly from you, for example, if you register for our newsletter or apply for a job. We might collect information if you post a comment on one of our websites or request information. We also collect information from you when you buy something.
We collect information from you passively. We may use tracking tools like browser cookies and web beacons. Our vendors may also use several common tracking tools, such as browser cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies. We use these tools to track our consumers and website visitors. We also use them for other business purposes, including:
- To track new visitors to our sites.
- To recognize past customers.
- To serve you with advertising content in which we think you will be interested. As part of this customization, we may observe your behaviors on this website or on other websites. We may also get information about your browsing history from our trusted business partners.
- So we can better understand our audience, our customers, our website visitors, and their respective interests.
You can control tracking tools. Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies. How you do so depends on the type of cookie. Certain browsers can be set to reject browser cookies. Some of our vendors may have their own tools to control the tracking activities they engage in on our behalf.
NOTE: If you set your computer to block cookies, you may not be able to use certain features on our sites.
Our ads on other websites may be served based on tracking. We may also work with online advertising companies to provide you with advertising that is as relevant and useful as possible. We may provide this advertising on our website and other third-party sites that you visit. These ads may be based on the information you submit on our websites or third-party sites. They may also be based on your activities or behaviors on our websites or on third-party sites. The information gathered may be used to serve you with advertisements on our websites or on third-party websites. This includes mobile websites or applications.
We get information about you from third parties. For example, social media platforms may give us information about you. We may combine the information we collect from you with the information we get from third parties.
