What we collect 

Like most website operators, Capventis collects non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.  

Capventis’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Capventis’ visitors use its website. From time to time, Capventis may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. Capventis also collects potentially personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.  

Capventis does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally identifying information, as described below.
