• The Personal Information practices set forth apply to all Storm Scale Technology Review’s customers worldwide.

    1. Registration. Storm Scale Technology Review may require certain Personal Information and Non-Personal Information to create an individual account (“Account”) or to enable features or functionality of the Storm Scale Technology Review Network. Failure to provide all information required by Storm Scale Technology Review may prevent access to any or all of the Storm Scale Technology Review Network, and failure to maintain accurate information may result in suspension or termination of access to any or all of the Storm Scale Technology Review Network.
    2. Information Collected Through Technology. Storm Scale Technology Review Services may gather the previously referenced Personal Information and Non-Personal Information by the following methods:
      1. Cookies. Cookies, including local shared objects, are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. They work by assigning to your computer a unique number that has no meaning outside of the Storm Scale Technology Review Services. Cookies do not generally contain any Personal Information. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually configure your browser to prevent this.

        Not accepting cookies may make certain features of the Storm Scale Technology Review Network unavailable to you. We uses cookies for the following general purposes: (a) to track your preferences, such as the address or local zip code you enter; (b) to access your information when you sign in so we can provide you with your personalized content; (c) to display the most appropriate advertisements, based on your interests and activity on our Services; and (d) to help us improve the Services by analyzing and estimating our traffic and use of features on the Services. We may also use “pixel tags,” which are small graphic files that allow us to monitor the use of the Services.

        A pixel tag can collect information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on which the tag appears; the time (and length of time) the page containing the tag was viewed; the type of browser that retrieved the tag; and the identification number of any cookie previously placed by that server on your computer. We may use pixel tags, provided either by us or by our third-party advertisers and ad networks, to collect information about your visit-including the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions taken in connection with our Services-and use them in combination with our cookies to provide offers and information of interest to you. We also may allow certain analytic services and providers of applications used on the Services (e.g., sharing buttons) to collect Non-Personal Information by placing cookies on the Services that will track certain performance measures, such as Web traffic, click-throughs, etc., in order to assist us and our service providers in better understanding and serving the interests of our users.

      2. IP Address. You may visit many areas of the Storm Scale Technology Review Services anonymously without becoming a registered User. Even in such cases, Storm Scale Technology Review may collect IP addresses automatically. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you begin Services with an Internet service provider. Each time you access the Storm Scale Technology Review Services and each time you request one of Storm Scale Technology Review’s pages, the server logs your IP address.
      3. Beacons. Beacons are small pieces of data that are embedded in Web pages, applications, and e-mails. Storm Scale Technology Review may use these technical methods in HTML e-mails that Storm Scale Technology Review sends to users to determine whether they have opened those e-mails and/or clicked on links in those e-mails.
      4. Tracking Content Usage. If you use the Storm Scale Technology Review Services and you post Storm Scale Technology Review materials including, without limitation, text, logos, artwork, graphics, pictures, advertisements, sound, and other related content contained in such materials (collectively, “Content”) to your website or to a third-party website, Storm Scale Technology Review may still track and capture Personal Information and Non-Personal Information associated with those materials.
