WEBSITE VISITORS

Like most website operators, Connected Pulse collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Connected Pulse’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Connected Pulse’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Connected Pulse may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Connected Pulse also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on ConnectedPulse.com blogs/sites. Connected Pulse only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Certain visitors to Connected Pulse’s websites choose to interact with Connected Pulse in ways that require Connected Pulse to gather personally-identifying information.

In each case, Connected Pulse collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Connected Pulse.
