What Information We Collect 

In general, you can visit this Site without identifying who you are or revealing any information about  yourself. Information collected online can generally be categorized as anonymous or personally  identifiable. Anonymous information is information that cannot be connected to the identity of a specific  individual. Personally identifiable information is information that specifically identifies a particular user,  such as name, address, or phone number. An example of anonymous information is the fact that, while this  Site may record the number of visits to a particular page that occur in a given period of time, it does not  necessarily tell us the names or other identifying information of every visitor. Many users of this website  will choose not to provide any personally identifiable information; therefore, those individuals are  anonymous to us, and any data collected about their use of this website is anonymous information.
