Information We Collect and How It Is Used
We and our service providers, such as Google Analytics, may automatically collect certain technical information from your computer or mobile device when you use the site, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address or unique identifier, your browser type, your operating system, the pages you view, the pages you view immediately before and after you access the site, and the search terms you enter on the site.
