We collect this information so that we can analyze trends, administer and improve the Site, track users’ movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may also use aggregated anonymous information to provide information about our Site to potential business partners and other unaffiliated entities for marketing, advertising and/or other uses. Again, this information is not personally identifiable.
