World Pulse

What does this privacy policy cover?
This Privacy Policy covers World Pulse’s treatment of personally identifiable information that we collect when you are on the World Pulse site, on a site powered by our technology, or when you use World Pulse's services.

Information Collection and Use
World Pulse gathers two types of information about this website's users:

1. Personal information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions, such as email and online registration forms to World Pulse. Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, telephone number, e-mail address, profession, and primary language. The types and amount of personal information collected for these activities will vary depending on the type of activity.

2. World Pulse also gathers non-personal information through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This non-personal information collected includes click-throughs, IP addresses, and usage data.

World Pulse tracks product usage data to improve the services we offer to our users. We collect user traffic patterns throughout our site. This information is collected to help improve site flow and usability. In addition, we track click-through information, including IP addresses, to our site from the reports and emails we sent to our customers. This is done to gauge the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to discourage fraudulent use. However, we do not correlate this information with the personal information of individual users.
