Website Usage Information We Collect. In addition to Personal Information that you choose to submit to us, whenever you visit or interact with our Site, we may collect or store information about your interaction with our Site (“Usage Information”). This Usage Information may include:

  • your IP address or any other unique identifier assigned to the device that you use to access our Site;

  • the functionality and characteristics of your device, including type of browser, operating system and hardware, mobile network information, and in some cases location information;

  • the URL that referred you to our Site, if any;

  • your activities on our Site, such as which webpages you visit, what terms you searched within our Site, and which links within our Site that you click on; and

  • the time of day that you visited our Site and how long your visit lasted.

Usage Information is typically anonymous information; however, if it is combined with your Personal Information in a manner that reasonably allows it to be associated with your identity, or is otherwise considered Personal Information under applicable law, it will be treated as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

We use certain common methods and technologies to collect and store Usage Information about your interaction with our Site (“Analytic Technologies”). These Analytic Technologies may be downloaded to the personal computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone that you use to access the Site (“Your Device”). The specific Analytic Technologies that we use are as follows:

  • Cookies. A cookie is a data file placed on Your Device when you visit our Site. We use cookies only to facilitate the use and navigation of our Site and to remember you and your preferences in case you revisit our Site in the future and to conduct range measurement. Information collected relates to technical information (e.g. your browser, a timestamp, and a unique identifier). Almost all browsers allow blocking of cookies in their entirety, removal of existing cookies, or warning to prevent the placing of a cookie. You can find more information on this functionality in the documentation or in the help file of your browser. Please note that blocking of cookies might impede your use of our Site.

  • Do Not Track Policy. Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we may collect information about your online activity after you leave our Site. Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve the Site and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this Privacy Policy. Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of website and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different website. Our Site do not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Site and after you leave our Site.

  • Web Beacons. A web beacon, including tracking pixels, is a small graphic image or other web programming code, also known as “1×1 GIF” or “clear GIF.” We may download web beacons to Your Device when you access our Site or through email messages that we send to you. Web beacons are used to improve your experience on our Site. Web beacons also help us to understand whether users read email messages and click on the links contained within those messages so that we can deliver relevant content and messages. Our web beacons may collect certain of your contact information (e.g., the email address associated with an email message that contains a web beacon).

  • Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is a programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with our Site, such as which links within our Site you click on, which type of browser or device you use (e.g., mobile or desktop version). We use such information to enhance the user experience. This code is downloaded onto Your Device when you access our Site and is deactivated or deleted when you leave our Site.

  • Google Analytics. We also use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of this site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to ours. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve the Site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics places a permanent cookie on your browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to the Site by disabling cookies on your browser.

Affiliates and Business Transfers. We may share your Personal Information with our affiliates. Additionally, MEL or any part of its business, including our Site, may be sold at some point in the future. Should this occur, your Personal Information may be transferred to a subsequent owner, co-owner, or operator of the business unit or Site.
