Information Collected Through Technology
Primarily to tailor our websites to your needs, Scupe collects information using technology, such as IP addresses and cookies. For example, your IP address provides Scupe with non-personally identifiable information about how you entered the internet, namely through your internet service provider, your company, or some other source, and can permit Scupe to identify the frequency with which you visit our websites. Standard features in internet browser software such as "cookies" allow websites to track certain user activities by assigning each of our visitors a unique number that resides on your computer. Scupe uses cookies to make its websites more interesting and useful (for example, cookies let us know which of our sites you have been visiting and which you have not). Interest-based advertising using information you make available to us when you interact with our sites, content, or services are served to you based on information from activities such as purchasing on our sites.
Website Analytics
Our websites also use Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google services in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage.
Payment Information
Our website utilizes third party service providers that process payments for products purchased on our websites, such as PayPal and We-Pay.
