We may request that you submit PII in certain instances, such as when you interact with our website and use the services offered by us, submit comments or questions, request information, participate in a promotion, contest or sweepstakes or utilize other features or functions of our site.

When you connect to our Site, there is certain technical, non-personally identifiable information which does not identify any individual (“Non-PII”) that may be collected and stored through the use of “cookie” technology and IP addresses. PII is not extracted in this process. Non-PII may include, but is not limited to, your IP host address, internet browser type, personal computer settings, and the number, duration, and character of page visits.
