Collection. In general, you can browse the non-password protected portions of our Sites without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.  We do, however, collect your computer’s or mobile device’s IP address, which you necessarily disclose when you visit the Sites so that data (such as the web pages you request) can be sent to your computer or device.  The Sites utilize "cookies" and similar technologies which are anonymous, unique identifiers that web pages on the Sites may use to store data on your computer or send data to our web server.  Should you decide not to accept cookies from the Sites, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit the Sites.

This information does not identify you personally. On occasion we may aggregate this data with data on the pages visited by other users to track overall visitor traffic patterns and provide this aggregate information to vendors, potential advertisers, business partners, news agencies, or other parties to demonstrate the amount of interest in the Sites and to help us plan for technical infrastructure requirements.

If you choose to share any personal information with us, you will see that the amount and type of personal information required by us depends on the activity you are engaging in. Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some is voluntary.

Each of these parties’ privacy policies will govern how they use your personal information.  While we try to be selective in working with third parties, we are not responsible for their use of your personal information.  Where payments are involved, we must release your credit card information to credit card authorization service providers and associated banks to process your payment for purchases, returns or refunds.  We may transfer to Microsoft, its agents, and our other online service providers, personal information you provide to us so that these parties may store and process your personal information.‎
