What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy explains our practices for gathering and disseminating information we collect when you visit our Site and associated web pages.
This Privacy Policy covers the treatment of any information or set of information that identifies or is used by or on behalf of statum to identify an individual. This may include, in certain contexts, information such as an identifiable individual’s name, email address (so we may contact you), telephone number, and other identifying information ("Personal Information"). This Privacy Policy also covers our treatment of any Personal Information that our business partners share with us or that we share with our business partners. You can navigate the majority of the website without giving us any Personal Information. However, we may track technical information (see "Information Collected Using Cookies" below) provided by your browsing of the Site to improve the navigation, content, and design of our Site.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the privacy practices of third parties that we do not own or control, including but not limited to any third-party websites, services, or applications that may link to, frame, or reference this Site (collectively, "Third-Party Services") that you may access through the Services. We take no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of those Third-Party Services. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third-Party Services you access.
What Information Do We Collect And Why?
The information we gather helps us personalize, improve, and operate the Services. You may voluntarily provide additional information about yourself to enable us to provide the information or Services you are requesting. We store the information you provide about yourself in order to provide you with the information or Services you request. Such information, except for any Personal Information, is typically stored for the lifetime of the database unless you request its removal. The information you provide will be shared with our employees or contractors to the extent necessary to fulfill your request. We will obtain your consent before sharing your Personal Information with third parties in a manner that is not permitted under the terms of this Privacy Policy. Unless otherwise described below, we will not use the Personal Information you provide online for purposes other than those you have requested without also providing you an opportunity to agree to or limit such uses.
We may collect the following types of information from our users, some of which will be Personal Information, and some of which will not be Personal Information.
User Content and Account Information:
Some features of the Services may allow you to provide content that is not Personal Information. All such content submitted to the Services may be retained by us for as long as necessary under applicable law, even after you terminate your Account. We may continue to disclose such content to third parties in an anonymized manner that does not reveal Personal Information, as described in this Privacy Policy.
As part of your Account information, statum collects and stores information, including the full name and email address for all users upon registration and use of the Services. You acknowledge that this information may be personal to you, and by creating an Account on the Services and providing Personal Information to us, you allow us, our affiliates, service providers, and contractors to identify you.

If you are a resident of the EU/EEA or Switzerland, the rules of the privacy shield limit such access, and we fully abide by the privacy shield rules in this case. Wherever we are required to transfer your Personal Information, regardless of where this occurs, we will take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

IP Address Information and Other Information Collected Automatically:
We may automatically receive and record information from your web browser when you interact with the Services, including your IP address. An IP address is a number assigned to you by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet. We receive IP addresses in the normal course of operating our Site. We may automatically collect and record information about your use of features of our Services, about the functionality of our Services, and other information related to your interactions with the Services. We use this automatically collected information to analyze trends, administer, monitor, and improve the Site and Services, track users' use of the Site and Services, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We do not use IP addresses to identify you personally or disclose them to others. This information is used for fighting spam/malware and to facilitate the collection of data concerning your interaction with the Services (e.g., what links you have clicked on).
Generally, the Services may automatically collect usage information, such as the number and frequency of visitors to the Site. We may use this data in aggregate form, meaning as a statistical measure, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us and third parties authorized by us to figure out how often individuals use parts of the Services, allowing us to analyze and improve them.
As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. To collect this information, when you visit our Site, a "cookie" may be set on your computer. Cookies contain a small amount of information that allows our web servers to recognize you whenever you visit. We store information that we collect through cookies, log files and/or clear gifs to create "settings" regarding your preferences.
We use cookie information to analyze trends, administer the website, track users' movements and gather demographic information for aggregate use. statum also may use cookies to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visit the Site and otherwise use the Services through the Internet.
statum also uses Google Analytics, an analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect non-identifying information, which may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google provides some additional privacy options described at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ regarding Google Analytics cookies.

AGGREGATE INFORMATION:
We may collect statistical information about how users use the Services ("Aggregate Information"). Some of this information may be derived from Personal Information. This statistical information is not Personal Information.

Protecting the privacy of children is especially important. For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information at our Site from those we know are under 13 years of age, and our Site is a general audience site not intended for users under the age of 13.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION SHARING:

If your information is shared with third parties, we will strive to only provide the information they need to deliver the Service. We will aim to restrict these companies from using your information for any other purpose, and you may choose not to have your information given to such a third party.
statum's employees and contracted service providers have been trained to handle such data properly and in accordance with our security protocols and strict standards of confidentiality.
