What We Collect
We use cookies and pixels in connection with Outerinfo software. A Cookie is a small amount of data that Outerinfo's servers transfer to your browser and that only Outerinfo's servers can read. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies can only be accessed or read by the domain that placed them. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to receive Outerinfo’s complete catalog of comparative offerings. A pixel, also known as a ‘web beacon’, is a small string of software code embedded in a web page used to record certain types of non-personally identifiable information on an individual's computer, such as an individual's cookie number, the time and date of a page view, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed.
We use the cookies and pixels to collect Non-Personal Information from users of Outerinfo software. This information is associated with an anonymous user ID assigned to the Outerinfo software installed on your computer (your "Anonymous User ID”), and may use this information to enable the functionality of Outerinfo software, to periodically update the Outerinfo software, to track your web browsing usage and habits, to deliver and display ads from our advertisers, to provide you with content or web sites of such advertisers or other parties, to offer you the opportunity to download software from third party vendors and to download and use our uninstaller software.
We do not collect any Personal Information about you in connection with the delivery or use of the Outerinfo software, and we do not require Personal Information from you before downloading or installing the Outerinfo Software. We may use aggregated, anonymous information to develop reports for our clients so that they can better understand trends in online consumer behavior and how those trends relate to their businesses.
Some third parties that advertise with Outerinfo may place a cookie and/or pixel onto your computer for the purpose of tracking your web browsing usage and habits, customizing ads to you and/or keeping track of your response to each ad. None of these third party advertisers are able to use this information to identify you personally.
Your use of Outerinfo software will involve the transmission of your Internet protocol address ("IP Address") to Outerinfo's servers. This IP Address is necessary for communication with you via the Internet and may be used and stored on our servers.
