Collecting and Processing Personal Information

In order to administer this Site effectively, you must register on this Site.  Once you are registered on the Site, we collect a variety of information about you, which may include: name, address, telephone number, email addresses, account username and password, and any other information you may voluntarily provide through this Site (hereinafter defined as “Personal Information”). After registering, we will use your Personal Information for any of the following purposes:  (1) to administer this Site (including how this Site is used and how to making any on-going improvements); (2) to register users for online activities; (3) to respond to specific requests from users; (4) to protect the security or integrity of this Site, if necessary; or (5) to comply with applicable law or legal process.

You will have the choice whether or not to disclose such Personal Information on this Site; however, some parts of this Site and some services may be more difficult or impossible to use if you choose not to disclose Personal Information.  If you are based outside of the United States, such use of this Site will include transferring your information to servers in the United States for processing.

In addition to the Personal Information identified above, our web servers automatically identify computers by their IP addresses.  We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer this Site, track users’ movement and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.  To emphasize, IP addresses are not linked to contact information you provided when you registered on the Site.

Further, this Site may use technologies such as “cookies” to provide visitors with tailored information upon each visit.  Cookies are a common part of many websites that allow small text files to be sent by a website, accepted by a web browser and then placed on your hard drive as recognition for repeat visits to this Site.  Every time you visit this Site, our servers, through cookies, pixels and/or GIF files, collect basic technical information such as your domain name, the address of the last URL visited prior to clicking through to this Site, and your browser and operating system.  You do not need to enable cookies to visit this Site, so you can visit your browser's settings to exercise certain choices regarding cookies on the Site; however, some parts of this Site and some services may be more difficult or impossible to use if cookies are disabled.  To emphasize, cookies are not linked to contact information you provided when you registered on the Site.

Specifically, if your Personal Information is transferred to Vendors or necessary service providers, it is done under a contract which requires the companies to use the shared Personal Information only for the limited purposes for which it is provided to them, not to transfer the Personal Information to another party, to agree to hold the information securely and confidentially, and to otherwise comply with applicable law.

In addition to adhering to this Policy, and other policies and procedures regarding the privacy of personal information that PHLLC has in place, when your Personal Information is transferred from the EEA, Argentina, etc. to PHLLC in third countries, we require the recipient entity to enter into a contract regarding the use and processing of that information which incorporates certain standard contractual clauses approved by the Commission of the European Union.
