Your Public Information and Posts are always public, which means they are available to everyone and will be displayed in search results both on the Site and on external search engines.

Information Collected by Automated Means
Whenever you visit or interact with the Sites, the Company, as well as any third-party advertisers and/or service providers, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the Sites are accessed and used (“Usage Information ”). Usage Information may include, in part, browser type, operating system, the page served, the time, how many users visited the Sites, and the preceding page views. This statistical data provides us with information about the use of the Sites, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Sites, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on. This information helps us to keep the Sites fresh and interesting to our visitors and to tailor content to a visitor’s interests. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if the Company associates it with you as a specific and identifiable person, the Company treats it as Personal Information.
In the course of collecting Usage Information, the Company also automatically collects your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier ”) for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, “Device ”) you use to access the Sites. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a web site or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. When you visit the Sites, we may view your Device Identifier. We use this information to determine the general physical location of your Device and understand from what regions of the world the visitors to the Sites come. We also may use this information to enhance the Sites.
