this Statement
This Online Privacy Statement covers the collection and use of data

2. What Information We
Collect
The information we collect on our Site generally falls into the
following two categories: Personally Identifiable Information and
Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Personally Identifiable Information:
This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who
you are. The Personally Identifiable Information we collect when you
use our Site may include your name, mailing address, phone number,
e-mail address, employer, credit card number, expiration date,
shipping address, id numbers, login names, passwords, public
postings, prospect email address, and job title. We request
Personally Identifiable Information when you order a product or
service, participate in certain promotional activities, fill out
surveys, and correspond with us. We also collect Personally
Identifiable Information when you ask that we send products or
information directly to other people; in these cases, we will
collect the information you submit about the recipient. It will be
clear when you are on a part of our Site that requires personal
information, because we will ask you for it and you will have a
choice about how we use that information.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information:
This refers to information that does not by itself identify a
specific individual. The non-personally identifiable data we collect
when you visit our Site may include the Uniform Resource Locator

of the Web site that you came from before visiting our Site, which
pages you visit on our Site, which URL you next go to, which browser

We do not connect the Personally Identifiable Information and
Non-Personally Identifiable Information we collect on our Site.
