What types of information does CAP collect?

Usage Data

As with most services, CAP may automatically collect certain information when you use the Services, even when you are not logged in. CAP collects this information when you access the Services, including when you set up an account or browse, read, or download information from the Services. This type of information may include, but is not limited to, your IP address, URL request, browser type, and the date and time of a request. CAP may use cookies or other automated mechanisms to collect this information and may collect this information on an aggregate or individual basis. Cookies are small text files that the Services can send to your browser for storage on your computer. They make use of the Website easier by saving your status and preferences and refreshing them every time you use the Website. For instance, to facilitate registration and login functions, CAP may use cookies to recognize when you return to the Website so that you do not have to resubmit your logon credentials. In order to clear this logon information, for example if using a public terminal, you should log out of your account. While many browsers allow you to change your settings in order to refuse cookies or to be alerted when cookies are being sent, it is recommended that you leave cookies enabled, as disabling cookies may interfere with some functionality of the Services.

When does CAP disclose information to third parties?
