The Information We Collect

CMC collects several types of information about users, including the following:

Identity information, contact information, transaction information, marketing/communications preferences, usage data, and geolocation data.
Technical and network 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.
De-identified aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Although aggregated data may be derived from your personal information, it is not considered personal information because it does not directly or indirectly identify you. For instance, CMC may monitor the most popular posts on our website and may display this information publicly or provide it to others.

How is Your Information Collected?

We use different methods to collect this information from you and about you including: direct interactions with us and automated technologies.

Direct Interactions. Certain visitors to CMC’s website choose to interact directly with CMC in ways that require CMC to gather personal information. The amount and type of personal information that CMC gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with CMC may be asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, CMC collects such personal information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with CMC.
