Like most website operators, The Rise SMB collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The Rise SMB’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how The Rise SMB’s visitors use its website. From time to time, The Rise SMB may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
All web servers track basic information about their visitors. This information includes, but is not limited to, IP addresses, browser details, timestamps and referring pages. None of this information can personally identify specific visitors to this site. The information is tracked for routine administration and maintenance purposes.
Certain visitors to The Rise SMB’s website choose to interact with The Rise SMB in ways that require The Rise SMB to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that The Rise SMB gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who subscribe to our newsletter at The Rise SMB to provide an email address. Those who engage in transactions with The Rise SMB are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, The Rise SMB collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with The Rise SMB. The Rise SMB does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
