to third parties ? |
bearsharesoftware may collect any or all of the
following four types of information:

(b) cookies, or
(c) contact information and other personally identifying
information.

in its possession in connection with a sale of
assets of the company, a sale of the company or
a merger. |
(a)
Traffic or Clickstream Data |
Data
about traffic and usage is not personally identifying
or identifiable, and is not supplemented or combined
with personally identifying or identifiable information.
bearsharesoftware may share information it collects
with certain selected third parties, but only in
aggregated, anonymous form. For example, we may
tell an advertiser that a certain number of people
visited a certain area on our Web site, or searched
Web sites for the term "fly fishing."
bearsharesoftware collects some information regarding
use of the Services by observing browser functions
and the files (pages) users access. For example,
bearsharesoftware's servers collect information
about the site from which you entered to enable
bearsharesoftware to calculate and pay its affiliates,
information about the most frequently searched terms
to help its advertisers provide the most relevant
search results, information about usage to check
for fraudulent behavior or other abnormalities and
to ensure that our Services are technically superior.
In addition to the foregoing applications, bearsharesoftware
uses the information (in aggregate form) to better
design the Services.

Like
many sites, bearsharesoftware collects information

site and how frequently they are returning, as well
as to streamline their experiences using the Services.
Our cookies do not contain any personally identifiable
information. Cookies let us know about repeat visitors
and if we are delivering quality products and services.
bearsharesoftware may also use cookies to identify
which sites our repeat visitors are coming from,
so that we can place more of our online advertising
on these sites, and can, where necessary, pay our
affiliates and other business partners. To bearsharesoftware, using information within
cookies is an anonymous way to survey how we are
doing and to look for ways to improve our Services.
You may set your browser software to reject cookies,
but you may not be able to use all of the features

of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party
advertiser may place or recognize a unique "cookie"
on your browser.
