What Information We Collect
​
Sisu Public Affairs LLC collects two types of information from users: “non-personally identifiable information” (or “Non-PII) and “personally identifiable information” (or “PII”). Non-PII is aggregated information, demographic information, IP addresses, and any other information that does not reveal your specific identity. PII is information that identifies or can identify you as an individual (such as contact information (ZIP code, email address, and demographic information).
​
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
​
When you visit and interact with the Site, Sisu Public Affairs and third parties with whom we have contracted to provide services to us may collect Non-PII (for example, a catalog of the Site pages you visit). Non-PII is anonymous and does not identify you personally. Non-PII is generally collected through the Site from four different sources: Internet Protocol addresses and web logs; cookies; pixel tags, and other similar technologies; and other Non-PII that you voluntarily provide.
​
Aggregate Information
​
Our Site is set up to collect and report aggregate information. Aggregate information is data we collect about the use of our Site or about a group or category of services or users, from which individual identities, or other personal information has been removed. This Privacy Policy does not restrict what we can do with aggregate information.
​
Internet Protocol Address
​
We collect an IP address from all visitors to our Site. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you access the Internet. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our Site, analyze trends, track users’ movement through our site, gather broad demographic information for aggregate use for us to improve the Site, and deliver customized, personalized content.
