Information Collected Automatically
To measure and improve the performance of our Sites, we may collect information during your visit to the Sites through our automatic data collection tools, which may include Web beacons, cookies, embedded Web links, pixel tags and other commonly used information-gathering tools. These tools help us track how users are interacting with our Site, and help us make your visit to our Sites easier and more efficient by providing you with a customized experience and recognizing you when you return. SparkLMS maintains its own pages on many social networking sites, and we may also collect information from you when you interact with our social networking pages.
Use of Cookies and Other Web Tracking Technologies
A "cookie" is a small piece of data stored on a user's device. When you visit the Site, the Site may place a "cookie" on your device which allows us to compile information about Sites usage and to recognize you when you visit the Site again. In addition, we use pixel tags "tiny graphic images" to tell us what parts of our Sites our users have visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches performed on our Sites. This information can be used to enhance the content of the Site and make your experience more informative. Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages in a format that users can read and tell us whether emails have been opened to help assure that we're only sending messages that are of interest to our users. If you subsequently provide us with your personal information, such as your email address, we will associate our cookies and tags with that information and you will no longer be an anonymous visitor to the Site.
In some of our email messages we use a "click-through URL" linked to content on the Sites. When a user clicks one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our communications. If you prefer not to be tracked this way, simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in our email messages.
Like many other companies, we use third party partners to analyse data collected about your browsing behaviour when you visit our Site. Our Site may include technology from Google Analytics and other similar technologies. These tools provide us with analytical information, reports and analysis about the use of our Sites, and may record the internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet, the type of device and operating system you are using, your general geographic information, as well as events that occur within our Site, such as the page that led you to our Site, how often you visit pages within our Site and other data related to the use of our Site.

Do Not Track Features
Some web browsers may let you enable a "do not track" feature that sends signals to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different than blocking or deleting cookies, as browsers with a "do not track" feature enabled may still accept cookies. There is currently no industry standard for how companies should respond to "do not track" signals, although one may develop in the future. We do not respond to "do not track" signals at this time. If we do so in the future, we will update our Privacy Policy and describe to describe our response. More information about "do not track" is available at www.allaboutdnt.org.
