1. Information collected about you
Global Findability collects and maintains personal information about you when you send us email or complete any of our online forms. The personal information you provide can identify you and your business individually, and includes items such as your name and email address, job title, company name and address, phone number, IRS not-for-profit certificate number, web site address and contact details of the Web site administrator.
Global Findability collects, or logs, certain other information that cannot identify you personally when you visit our Web site. This information includes your Internet Protocol ("IP") address and your domain name. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by the ISP computer through which you access the Web and a domain name is the name of the ISP computer itself through which you access the Web.
Global Findability logs these IP addresses and domain names and aggregates them for system administration and to monitor the use of our site. We use the aggregated information to measure the number of visits to our site, the average time spent on our site, the number of pages viewed, and various other site use statistics. This monitoring helps us evaluate how our Web site is used and continuously improve the content we provide. While we may report aggregated IP address information to Global Findability program participants, Global Findability does not link IP addresses or domain names with any personally identifiable information, which means that a visitor's session will be logged on our servers but the visitor will always remain anonymous.
Global Findability does not purchase or otherwise obtain any supplemental personal information about you from any third parties.
