2.1 All Users

There are many aspects of the Site which can be viewed without providing Personal Information. However, for access to IE's personalized search capabilities and detailed event information, you are required to register as a User and thereby submit personally identifiable information.

We collect statistics on your activities using the Services including pages viewed while browsing the Site and page access times.

This Automatic Information includes, without limitation, a unique identifier associated with your access device and/or browser, characteristics about your access device and/or browser including version, language and operating system, referring website address. The majority of this Automatic Information is not Personal Information. However, when you register for the Services or otherwise submit Personal Information to us, we may associate this Automatic Information with your Personal Information. At such time, we will treat any such combined data as Personal Information until such time as it can no longer be associated with you or used to identify you.
