We might collect information that might not reasonably identify you or a household personally, but is linked to your computer or device ("device identifiable information"). We might collect device identifiable information from you in the normal course of providing the Services. When you visit our website to browse, read, or download information, we might collect information about your computer that your browser sends, such as your IP address, browser type and

We might use device identifiable information to analyze trends, help administer services, learn about and determine how much time visitors spend on each page of the website, learn how visitors navigate the website or use the services, and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We might also collect your location information, such as your zip code or the approximate geographic area provided by your internet service provider ("ISP") or location positioning information provided by the location services and GPS features of your mobile device when location services have been enabled. We might publicly disclose aggregated user statistics and other information, which is not considered personal information.
