In addition, we may use both the personal information you provided and the information your web browser sends in order to detect users who appear to be causing harm to our Site(s) or in order to personalize users’ experiences on our Site(s).

If your information will be used for any purpose besides those outlined above, we will specifically inform you and obtain your consent, if legally required.

From time to time, we may also make you aware of options to opt out of using or opt in to use certain features.

All users will have the ability to delete their accounts and corresponding data if they so choose.

When we become aware of content that we consider to be offensive or that could compromise the privacy of your personal or confidential information or that of another person, we will make a good-faith effort to block or remove such content.

3. Log Files

Our Site(s) follow a standard procedure of using log files.

These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and it is a part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the Site(s), tracking users' movement on the Site(s), and gathering demographic information.
