Security
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us. We use industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We also employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by users inside and outside Tru3D, INC. Our warning to all our users is that “perfect security” does not currently exist on the Internet.
IP Addresses
We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet. Web servers – the big computers that “serve” up Web pages – automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When users request pages from our web site, our servers log your IP address. In addition, certain non-personally identifiable information is recorded by the standard operation of our Internet servers. This information allows us to keep our web site running efficiently. The information we record includes the browser (such as Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc.) and the operating system used (such as Macintosh, Windows 2000, etc.) by you. Another use of this type of information includes the number of visitors to the various pages in our web site but only in a combined and non-personally-identifiable form. E-mail addresses and other personally identifiable information about users of our Web Site are known only when voluntarily submitted.
Cookies
We use a feature on your Internet browser called a “cookie.” Cookies are small files created on your computer’s hard drive. We use cookies to let it know that you are a prior user.

We will not use cookies to store personal/business information. Unless you specifically tell us, we will never know who you are, even though we may assign the browser on your computer a cookie. With most Internet Browsers, you can erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookies is stored.

Clear GIFs & Servers:
We also use electronic images known as "transparent GIFs", "Web bugs", "pixel tags" or "web beacons" — that allow TRU3D and our partners, including third party ad networks and exchanges to track general user traffic patterns. TRU3D also automatically receives and records information from our servers and from your browser, including your IP address, the time, and information about the page you requested.
How we Use Anonymous Information:
TRU3D operates an advertising platform and participates in advertising exchanges, where we help match advertisers, publishers, manufacturers and service providers with consumers based on products and services that those consumers own, use or have shown an interest in. We use the anonymous information gathered through cookies and “web beacons” to enable this advertising and content matching, providing the most relevant and informative advertising available to consumers as they travel the web.
What Information Is Collected?
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Through use of the date collection methods, TRU3D collects anonymous data while you are visiting its web site or a Partner Website, including advertisers, advertising exchanges and Web publishers. This anonymous data includes information such as a users IP address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to identify your computer), web pages which have been viewed by the user, date and time, and responses by a user to an advertisement delivered by us or a third party advertising technology vendor. Our advertising platform partners, as well as TRU3D use different types of technologies to collect this type of information, including cookies and web beacons as described above.
In addition users may provide us with additional non-personally identifiable information. Examples of the non-personally identifiable data that may be provided with the users consent would include age, gender, and interests. None of the foregoing information (collectively referred to as "non-personally identifiable data"), by itself, or together, can by its nature be tracked to a specific individual's personally identifiable information. Web surfers may elect not to allow us to use anonymous data by following the TRU3D Opt-Out process.
Personally Identifiable Information
TRU3D does not ask for or receive any PII as a result of its use of the anonymous data collection technologies used to gather information about product preferences as described above. This process is always anonymous. At our Partner Websites, however, they may ask people to register and provide personally identifiable information in relation to the services provided or products sold on that site. The privacy policy for that Partner Website controls under those circumstances. TRU3D prohibits the passing of PII by Partner Websites to TRU3D and is committed to making sure that our Partners provide notice and choice to all consumers.

This information will not be used for any other purpose, excepting as may be required by.
What we do with Non-Personally Identifiable (Anonymous) Information
TRU3D will use non-PII in a number of ways. It will be used to:
These third party ad networks and exchanges may use information regarding its own users to select which ads to display. We allow other companies that are presenting advertisements on our sites and, sometimes, in our newsletters to use tracking technology on your computer. We do not give any personally identifiable information to them as part of this relationship. Unless you visit the Web site of these companies and provide them with personally identifiable information about yourself, these tracking technologies tell those advertisers nothing about who you are. Our advertisers', publisher’s and Partner Site’s use of tracking technology is subject to their own privacy policies.
Third-Party Disclosure of Non-PII?
Disclosure of Anonymous, Aggregated Information
