Applicability of Policy

To try and bring you offers that are of interest to you, we have relationships with other companies that we allow to place ads on our Web pages, and on the weblogs of our contributors. This privacy policy applies only to advertising-related information that is collected and stored by Thayer Limited, LLC (”TL”) ad serving system and TL’s third-party website traffic analytics system, when pages of contributor’s weblogs are viewed and advertising media is delivered to those visitors. The privacy policy is not applicable to each individual blog site itself. Each participating blog may have its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to read and understand. TL has no authority over each web site’s individual privacy policy, only over information collected about the web sites’ traffic and the advertising displayed throughout the sites in the overall blog network.

Information Collected

TL does not obtain any personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, address, phone number, or email address, when you visit a blog within the network and the TL portal site. TL may, however, automatically collect non-personally identifiable information about you which is specific to how you use the Internet, such as the IP address of the server your computer is logged into, your browser type, your screen resolution setting, the Web pages you visited, which ads have been displayed and whether you responded to any ads delivered by TL. This non-personally identifiable information collected by TL is used for the purpose of determining which ads to deliver and for measuring aggregate advertising display and response for client and network reporting.

Also, as a result of your visit to our site and to our participating blogs, TL’s ad server and web analytics partners may collect non-personally identifiable information such as your domain type, your IP address, your ad display history, your clickstream information.
