1. Data Information Collection
Personal Data: Personally identifiable information (“Personal Data”) is any information that can be used to identify a specific individual, such as your name, email address, home address, phone number, and credit card information. This Website collects Personal Data when you interact with the Website. We may also obtain Personal Data from reputable third parties.
Aggregate and Anonymous Data: Aggregate and anonymous data is information that does not identify you specifically including data collected automatically regarding your interaction with the Website (“AA Data”). Information we may collect includes, but is not limited to, the total number of visitors to the Website, the number of visitors to each page of the Website, device identifier and hardware information, IP address, browser type and language, cookie information, system type, whether or not you have enabling software to access certain features, access times, referring website URLs and other information about your interaction with us. Humdinger may analyze this AA Data for trends and statistics, but such information will be maintained, used in aggregate form only and it will not contain Personal Data other than an IP address. We may use such AA Data to analyze trends to better administer the Website. We may use third party service providers to help us operate our business or administer activities on our behalf. We may share your information with these third parties for those limited purposes.
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use “cookies” or other similar technologies to collect AA Data. A “cookie” is a data file placed on a Device when the Device is used to visit the Website. When you click on a “Buy” button or a promotional offer on the Website, an affiliate cookie tracks your use and any purchases made on third party merchant web sites; this allows Humdinger to collect commissions on purchases that you make from third party merchants. We may also use a service that collects data remotely by using “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” or similar means. This information is AA Data.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from children under the age of eighteen (18).

We will notify you of this possibility when you provide the Personal Data and, if possible, when the Personal Data is posted. Cookies and similar tools may be used to relate your use of the Website and AA Data to Personal Data. If any AA Data is linked with Personal Data, the linked AA Data will then be treated as Personal Data.
