ONLINE PRIVACY—THE INFORMATION WE GATHER
The type of information we gather online falls into five general categories:
AGGREGATE SITE USAGE INFORMATION

Our Web servers automatically collect information about each visitor who requests ColonyCrossing.com Web pages, including your computer's internet protocol (IP) address. This IP address allows us to identify your computer on the internet so that the Web content you request from us can be sent to you.
From time to time, we may provide portions of this aggregate site behavior information to vendors, consultants, potential advertisers or news agencies. We typically do this in order to demonstrate the amount of interest in our sites and/or to plan for technical infrastructure improvements.
