1. What information does FeelsLikeHome collect from you?

In order to better provide you with numerous products and services, our Site collects Non-Personally Identifiable Information about it visitors. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient and customized experience while using our Site. Our Site does not currently collect Personally Identifiable Information from our visitors, but may do so at a future date upon notice to visitors though an amendment to our Policy.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon what pages of our Site you visit in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Web site’s Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.

Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. This information might include your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address and other identification and contact information. Currently we do not actively gather such information through our Site. However, we may gather any Personally Identifiable Information that you voluntarily disclose to us, for instance, when you e-mail us, contact our customer service representatives or otherwise send us feedback.

2. Where do we collect information from you and how do we use it?
