How We Use the Information
We use your information for purposes of processing your purchase of or registration for our offerings or other programs.

We also use your information to protect against fraud and other unlawful activity, claims and other liabilities and to comply with applicable legal requirements.
When you download our apps through an app platform, information you submit in connection with your download is collected by the platform operator, who does not share that information with us.
We may also use your information in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection.
Cookies
Our sites use a technology called cookies to track overall site use and to provide you with custom information about our products or services. A cookie is a tiny element of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you upon your return. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. You can also use your browser settings to delete existing cookies and to manage your preference for use of cookies. Cookies may also be required in certain areas of our website, for example, to authenticate a registered user.
We may use third party web analytics services on our sites, such as those of Google Analytics. The service providers that administer these services use technologies such as cookies, web server logs and web beacons to help us analyze how visitors use a site. The information collected through these means (including IP address) is disclosed to these service providers, who use the information to evaluate use of the sites.
