This data enables us to become more familiar with which users visit our site, how often they visit and what parts of the site they visit most often. Captive Eight uses this information to improve our Website. No personally identifiable information is gathered in this process.

Aggregated Data

Captive Eight collects aggregate queries for internal reporting and also counts, tracks, and aggregates the visitor’s activity into Captive Eight’s analysis of general traffic-flow at the Website. To these ends, Captive Eight may merge information about you into aggregated group data. In some cases, Captive Eight may remove personal identifiers from Personal Data and maintain it in aggregate form that may later be combined with other information to generate anonymous, aggregated statistical information. Such anonymous, group data may be shared on an aggregated basis with Captive Eight’s affiliates, business partners, service providers and/or vendors; if it does so, Captive Eight will not disclose your individual identity.
