When using our Services, in particular this Site, we collect information about the device or browser you use to navigate the Site or from your use of the Services, including:

Cookies. When you use or visit our Services, we use may install one or more cookies — small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters — to your computer or device to identify your browser, computer, or device.

Cookies also allow tracking of your usage of the Service over time. We do not use cookies or other devices to track you across the web. We can see how you use our Services, but that is all the information we collect, and in most cases that data does not individually identify you, but uses that information as part of a larger group of data to help us understand what is going on with our business, not your business.
Log Files. We may record/log your activity each time you access the Services. This information may include your requests or actions; IP address; browser type; unique device identifiers; information about your device; how you interact with links, features, or functionalities on the Service.
Clear Gifs.

Again, this is information about our business, not yours.
We use or may use the data collected through these technologies to: (a) remember information so you will not need to re-enter it the next time you access the Services; (b) identify you across multiple devices so access to the Cytrio is uninterrupted; (c) provide and monitor the effectiveness of our Services; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, usage, and demographic patterns on our Services; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems; and (f) otherwise to plan for and enhance our Services.

Note doing so may completely hijack your ability to use our Services. If we can’t recognize you as a user, then that is going to negatively impact your experience using our Services, as certain functions may not work properly. Depending on your device and operating system, you may not be able to delete or block all cookies.

We determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information in light of the purposes for which that Personal Information was collected, the amount, nature and sensitivity of what Personal Information is used, any potential risk from unauthorized use or disclosure of that information, and whether we can achieve the purposes of the use through other means, as well as on the basis of applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).Typically, when we do not legitimately need the Personal Information to perform our Services or meet a business obligation, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store it and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
