We also may aggregate non-personal information in order to track trends and analyze use patterns on the Solution.

We may collect information such as zip code, area code, unique device identifier, referrer URL, or location so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our Solution.
We may collect information regarding customer activities on our Website.

We do not use or respond to “do not track” signals that may be sent from your web browser. If we do combine non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
