We collect, use, and share information we need to conduct our business, to advise you of our products and services, and to provide you with client/member service. We may collect and maintain several types of client/member information needed for these purposes, as identified below. This information includes, but is not limited to, the name of the website from which you entered our Site, if any, as well as the name of the website to which you are headed when you leave our Site. This information also includes the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer/proxy server that you use to access the Internet, your location, access times, your Internet or cellular provider name, web browser type, type of mobile device, and computer operating system.
