What information of yours does www.hydourite.com
collect?
The goal of www.hydourite.com is to be your favorite destination

and product offerings that are most relevant to you. To achieve
this goal, www.hydourite.com needs to collect information
to understand what differentiates you from its millions of
other unique users. We collect two types of information from
you, "anonymous information" and "personally
identifiable information."
Anonymous information refers to information that cannot be
tied back to a specific individual. Each time a visitor comes
to www.hydourite.com or its associate sites, www.hydourite.com
collects some information to improve the overall quality of
the visitor's online experience. www.hydourite.com collects
the visitor's IP address (e.g., whether the user is logged
on from a .com, .gov or .edu domain), referral data (e.g.,
the address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking
through to www.hydourite.com), and browser and platform type
(e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform).
www.hydourite.com also collects aggregate search terms from
its www.hydourite.com search services for internal reporting
and targeted advertising.
www.hydourite.com collects this user information for purposes
of product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising.

may also collect personally identifiable information. Personally
identifiable information refers to information that tells
us specifically who you are, such as your name and postal
address. Wherever and whenever www.hydourite.com collects
personal information through registration, we make an effort

birth date, gender, pin code, telephone number, occupation,
marital status and other information. While not all of this
information is required, the more information you volunteer
(and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize
your experience.
