II. Nature of Information Collected
There are two types of information collected by WebSmithNG: (A) anonymous and (B) personally identifiable information. The WebSmithNG Network's collection practices regarding these two are discussed in greater detail below.

A. Anonymous Information Collection
Anonymous information refers to information that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. As with visiting any web site, WebSmithNG collects some basic information about your computer, including browser type, operating system, IP address, Internet service provider and geographic location.

WebSmithNG uses the information provided by a cookie for tracking site usage and targeting of advertising. This allows WebSmithNG to customize your visit and save you time during subsequent visits.

WebSmithNG tracks anonymous information to determine which pages are preferred based on traffic to those areas and provide marketing information to our advertisers and sponsors. This information is aggregated to provide WebSmithNG with demographic and other statistical data that allows us to assess how well our web site is performing. The personal information collected from our members and customers, or anyone that submits their personal information, is used to create and maintain the services requested. This includes corresponding with our members and customers by e-mail, postal mail, or phone. This correspondence is for the purpose of keeping our members and customers up to date with important system announcements and updates, and also for offering relevant third party opportunities via email. Unsubscribe procedures from non-account maintenance notifications are posted at the bottom of each email.
