What Personal Information About Users Does 6connect Collect?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to personalize and improve our website experience. We collect the following types of information from our users:
-
- A) Information You Provide to Us:
We may receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. For example, we may contact you to follow up based on your response to a 6connect blog post. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features. The personal information you provide may be used for such purposes as responding to your requests for certain services, customizing the 6connect website, and communicating with you about various products and services. - B) Automatic Information:
We may receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. 6connect may automatically receive and record certain “traffic data” on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, 6connect cookie information, and the page you requested. 6connect uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its server, analyze trends and administer the website. - Generally, our service may automatically collect usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our website and its components. This data is only used in the aggregate, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of collective data enables us to figure out how often users use parts of the website, so we can make the website appealing to as many users as possible. In addition, we may provide statistical information, not information about you personally, to our partners about how our users, collectively, use our website. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their areas and our website, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal Web experience.
- Many companies offer programs that help you to visit websites anonymously. While 6connect will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programs are available.
- C) Usage Monitoring:
We may monitor your interaction with our website and services. Such information will only be used internally by 6connect to help improve our website and services. - D) E-mail Communications:
We may receive a confirmation when you open an e-mail from 6connect if your computer supports this type of program, in order to help us make e-mails more interesting and helpful. We may also send out emails with news or promotions. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please notify us by e-mail at support@6connect.comand include sufficient information for us to identify your account.
