Non Personally-Identifiable Information: What We Collect
We collect and use non-personally identifiable information about you in the following ways:
Cookies
At certain points in your visit to the Core Acoustics site, our server (or the servers of our unaffiliated service providers) may send a “cookie” file to your computer. Your Web browser may prompt you to accept this file unless you have set your browser preferences to accept all cookies automatically. Cookies are employed primarily as a service to our customers, to extend the relevance and responsiveness of the Core Acoustics site. We may link cookie information with any personally-identifiable information you provide us.
Other Non-Personally-Identifiable Information
The Core Acoustics Web site may collect non-personally identifiable information during your visit, such as type of browser, operating system, domain name, or IP address. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the Web. Web servers—the big computers that “serve” up Web pages—automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you visit pages on the Core Acoustics Web site our Web servers log your IP address. We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information.
Core Acoustics also collects information through “referrers” and various environmental variables. A “referrer” is information the Web browser passes along to our Web server that references the URL from which you came. “Environmental variables” include, among other things, the domain from which you access the Internet, the time you accessed our Web site, type of Web browser and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the Web site you left to visit Core Acoustics, the names of the pages you visit while at our Web site, and the Internet address of the Web site you then visit. We collect all of this information to allow us to detect broad demographic trends, to provide information tailored to your interests and to enhance your experience on the Core Acoustics Web site. Core Acoustics may store “referrer” information for a limited period of time prior to deleting this information.
At times, the Core Acoustics Web site may use what are commonly referred to as “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” or “clear GIFs,” including other similar methods (collectively, “Pixel Tags”) to collect aggregated information about website usage. Pixel Tags allow Core Acoustics to measure the amount of users who have visited specific pages on our site and help determine the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. The information collected from Pixel Tags contains no personally identifiable information and is used for statistical analysis only.
In certain situations, the use of Pixel Tags and Cookies may be controlled by unaffiliated entities in order to manage programs or promotions. Core Acoustics cannot be responsible for third-party uses of Pixel Tags and Cookies, however, when we are able; we employ our best efforts to assure that these unaffiliated entities do not collect personally identifiable information.
Profiling
To help us improve our Web site and to ensure that we make every effort to provide you with information and offers that are of interest to you, we may merge your personally-identifiable information with click-stream data and other data we have (including cookies and offline data). We will provide notice of this, as well as an opportunity to opt-out of it, at the time and place of information collection and before data is entered on our system.
We may also develop a non-identifiable profile on you based on the pages within our site that you visit.
