This passive data collection occurs through the use of cookies, web beacons, and log files. The information we collect may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the pages you visit on our site. We use this data to analyze website traffic, track user movement on the site, and gather demographic information for site administration and optimization. This data may also be used to create user profiles to help us understand customer preferences and behaviors and to deliver a more personalized user experience.
We do not collect any sensitive personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA, such as precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, or religious beliefs.
