We may collect information from you when you visit our website depending upon the features you use. We may collect personal information, such as your name, address, telephone number, fax number, email address, or other identifiers about you or other information that you may provide in the course of completing a form or transaction on our website.

In addition, we may collect information about the browser and/​​or device that you are using to access our website (such as the type of browser or device you are using, browser settings, and the device identification number). Device information may or may not be personally identifiable depending upon whether it is linked to the identity of the user.

We may automatically log information, such as a user’s IP address, domain name, browser type, date and time of access, and other log file data. This information may be used to analyze trends or to administer and protect our websites. We may collect statistical or non-personally identifiable information about our users, such as which pages are visited, how long a visitor stays on a particular page, the website from which a user came to our website, or similar information. We also may collect aggregate information such as the total number visitors who are unique or returning to our site; who are using our application(s); or who are visiting a particular page in a given timeframe. We may use this information to measure the use of our websites and applications and to improve our content. We may use Google Analytics, a third-party provider of analytics tools, or a similar third-party service, to analyze information about visits to our website. For information about opting out of Google Analytics, please visit: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Yes, we may utilize ​“cookies,” web beacons, and other similar technologies on our website. We may use first and/​​or third party ​“browser” or ​“HTTP” cookies, which are unique text files that may be used for data analysis and enable our website to tailor information for the visitor. We may use browser cookies for purposes such as: to personalize the user’s experience on our website; to remember a user when the user registers for products or services; for fraud prevention; or to track visits to our websites. We also may use ​“web beacons” (also referred to as pixel tags, clear gifs, etc.) or similar technologies to collect information such as how long a visitor remains on a particular page. If you do not want us to deploy browser cookies to your device when you visit our websites, you may set the browser to reject cookies or to notify the user when a website tries to place cookies in the browser program. Rejecting cookies may affect your ability to use some of the features offered by the website. If you use our website without setting your browser to block cookies, you consent to the placement of cookies on your device.

Third parties, including our service providers, may collect information about a visitor to our website over time and/​​or across different websites when the visitor uses our website. This information often is aggregated data or individual information that is tied to a browser or device, rather than specific identifiers such as the visitor’s name and address. However, some of this information might be considered to be personally identifiable under some federal or state laws.

Some Internet browsers have begun to offer what often is referred to as ​“do not track” mechanisms for browser users to automatically signal privacy preferences to websites that they visit. Our websites do not currently respond to do-not-track-signals. In the meantime, you can exercise other choices available to you, including limiting the placement of browser cookies on your device using your browser’s cookie control features and other choices described in this Notice.

We may use the information we collect through our websites for the following purposes:

1. To communicate with you, including responding to requests for information or to facilitate transactions, donations, or communications;
