“Personal Information,” as used in this policy, is information that specifically identifies an individual, such as an individual’s name, social security number, telephone number, or e-mail address. Personal information also includes information about an individual’s activities, such as information about his or her activity on the Site or credit history, and demographic information, such as date of birth, gender, address, geographic area, and preferences, when any of this information is linked to personal information that identifies that individual.
Personal information does not include “aggregate” or other non-personally identifiable information. Aggregate information is information that we collect about a group or category of products, services, or users that is not personally identifiable or from which individual identities are removed. We may use and disclose aggregate information, and other non-personally identifiable information, for various purposes.

We collect this information passively using technologies such as standard server logs, cookies, and clear GIFs (also known as “Web beacons”). We use passively-collected information to administer, operate, and improve the Site and our other services and systems, and to provide services and content that are tailored to you. If we link or associate any information gathered through passive means with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information under this policy. Otherwise, we use information collected by passive means in a non-personally identifiable form only.
