SmartyPix.com gathers two types of information about users: Non-personally identifiable information: When visitors come to our web site, we collect and aggregate information indicating, among other things, which pages of the web site were visited, the order in which they were visited and which hyperlinks were “clicked.” Collecting such information involves the logging of the IP addresses, operating system and browser used by each visitor to SmartyPix.com. Although such information is not personally identifiable, we can determine from an IP address a visitor’s Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her point of connectivity. We also may use “cookies” - that is, small text files placed on a user’s computer hard drive — to help us determine the type of content and sites to which a visitor to SmartyPix.com links, the length of time each visitor spends at any particular area of SmartyPix.com and the SmartyPix.com services visitors choose to use. Cookies also tell us which advertising a visitor has seen on our site. Essentially, cookies are a visitor’s identification card for the SmartyPix.com computers, or servers, that placed them there. Cookies are only read by the server that placed them, and are unable to execute any code or virus. Nevertheless, you should be able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your web browser. For more information on how to do so, please refer to the documentation accompanying your browser. Personally identifiable information: In certain areas of SmartyPix.com, we may require that you provide us with personally identifiable information (including for example a username, address, or email address).
