4. Personal Information Collected Via Technology
As you navigate the Xpressed™ Website or WAPsite, certain information may also be collected passively, including your Internet protocol address, browser type, and operating system. We may also use Cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the information for which you searched and viewed. This type of information is collected to better understand how you use our Website and WAPsite to make the community and services we provide more useful to you.
An "Internet protocol address" or "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP Address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer Internet access provider, your IP Address probably varies from session to session. We track IP Addresses for a variety of reasons, which may include for collection of information about your geographic location, and with session Cookies to analyze our web page flow.
"Cookies" are small pieces of information that a web site sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a web site. Xpressed may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on the Website. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions contained on your browser. If you choose to disable Cookies completely, some areas of the Website may not work properly or be available to you.
In addition we use pixel tags, which are tiny graphic images, to tell us what parts of website customers have visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches customers perform on our site. Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read. And they tell us whether emails have been opened to ensure that we’re sending only messages that are of interest to our customers. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a customer. We store all of this information in a secure database located in Irvine, California, in the United States.
Xpressed may also contract with third parties in order to promote the products and/or services of these third parties by placing ads on the Website or WAPsite. We may use information that was posted by members, electronically created algorithms, or information regarding your use of the Website or WAPsite to tailor the display of ads to the interest of the members of our movement. Clicking on such ads may direct you to the website of the third party and the third party may also use Cookies in connection with these ads. Please be advised that once you have left the Xpressed environment, we have no control over your information. Although Xpressed makes commercially reasonable efforts to contract with third parties whose privacy policies are reasonable, Xpressed is not responsible for these other websites or any content on these other websites, and this Privacy Policy does not govern your visit of these other websites.
