If you register with us, we may collect certain personal information provided by you, such as your name, address, telephone number, mailing address, e-mail address, and certain other personal and demographic information that you provide when contacting us.

Our Site may also collect non-identifiable information that becomes available to us as a result of your visit to our Site.

What does Watteredge do with collected information?

In connection with such log files, analysis software will be used to generate reports that will allow us to determine how we can enhance your experience with our Site. This information will not be used to ascertain your identity or the substance of what you are viewing.

The log files may be purged periodically, in our discretion, to maximize space on the server.
