We may use your personal information and Website usage statistics to generate Aggregated Data for internal use and for sharing with others selectively. "Aggregated Data" means records stripped of identifying information, combined to provide generalized, anonymous information. Your identity and personal information will remain anonymous in Aggregated Data.
