We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate our Site. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes. The information we collect includes:

We use commercially reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including but not limited to methods such as firewalls, intrusion detection software and manual security procedures. However, despite these efforts to store personal information in a secure operating environment, we cannot guarantee the security of personal information during its transmission or storage on our systems, as no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
