provided by every user's browser). This information is collected in a database
and used--in an aggregated, anonymous manner--in our internal analysis of
traffic patterns within our Web site. This information is automatically logged
by most Web sites.
Use of Information
Our primary goal in
collecting user information is to enhance your experience on our Web site. We
achieve this goal by, among other things, providing interactive communications
such as our electronic newsletters to the e-mail address that you provide to
us, and developing future editorial content based on your interests. To develop
content targeted to your interests, we use aggregated user information to
determine which areas of our Web site users prefer based upon traffic to those
areas. We do not track what individual users read, but instead how well each
page or content area performs overall.
McAllisterPaymentSolutions.com may also
disclose information about our users when we believe, in good faith, that the
disclosure is required by law.
