Aggregated Data

We may use your personal information and Website usage statistics to generate Aggregated Data for internal use and for sharing with others selectively. "Aggregated Data" means records stripped of identifying information, combined to provide generalized, anonymous information. Your identity and personal information will remain anonymous in Aggregated Data.

The Website may contain links to other websites. These Privacy Terms do not apply to other websites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices or content. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of linked websites before providing them with personal information.
