ANONYMOUS DATA COLLECTION AND USE

To maintain our website’s high quality, we may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer the website by identifying which areas of the website are most heavily used, and to display content according to your preferences. Your IP address is the number assigned to computers connected to the Internet. This is essentially “traffic data” which cannot personally identify you, but is helpful to us for marketing purposes and for improving our services. Traffic data collection does not follow a user’s activities on any other websites in any way.

USE OF “COOKIES”

We may use the standard “cookies” feature of major web browsers. We do not set any personally identifiable information in cookies. You may choose to disable cookies through your own web browser’s settings. However, disabling this function may diminish your experience on our website and some features may not work as intended.

TARGETED SOCIAL MEDIA ADVERTISEMENTS

We may use the data you provide to us to run social media advertisements and / or create look-alike audiences for advertisements.

THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

In order to provide our users with the most current information, we offer links to other websites to support the content we post on our own website. Anytime you leave the ViciSyndrome.org website, we have no control regarding what information may be collected about you, nor can we control what third parties might do with the information. We are not responsible for, and have no control over, the information collection or privacy practices of other websites. Each website should have its own privacy policy applying to information/transactions that take place. It is important that you review any privacy policies on third-party sites carefully, BEFORE you use any services or programs offered. If you cannot find or do not like a website’s privacy policy, you may choose not to offer information to that site.
