We may receive and store certain types of web site usage information whenever you visit or interact with HHDB.com.

We also may collect your IP address or some other unique identifier for the particular device you use to access the Internet, as applicable (collectively referred to herein as a "Device Identifier"). A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer, your cell phone, or other device used to access the Internet, and our computers identify your device by its Device Identifier. We may associate your Device Identifier with the personal information you provide. When analyzed, web site usage information helps us determine how visitors arrive at HHDB.com, what type of content is most popular, and what type of visitors are interested in particular kinds of content and advertising.
