If you choose to opt-in, you may receive certain future information or communications from Cup4Cup, and we may share your personally identifiable information with Cup4Cup’s subsidiaries or affiliated entities for purposes of sending you information about the programs of Cup4Cup or its affiliated entities and, occasionally, sending you advertising/promotional material from advertising and strategic partners.

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there are simple procedures in most browsers that allow you to delete existing browser cookies, to automatically decline cookies or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of particular cookies to your computer. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions.

Cup4Cup also collects “referrers” information, IP addresses and various environmental variables. A “referrer” is information that references the URL from which you came and that the web browser passes along to our web servers.

“Environmental variables” include, among other things, the domain from which you access the Internet, the time you accessed this site, type of web browsers and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the website you left to visit this Site, the names of the pages you visit while at this Site and the Internet address of the website you then visit. This information is collected for Cup4Cup’s internal use, including enhancement of website security, detection of broad demographic trends, and determinations around which content would best tailor to specific user interests or needs. This information may also be shared with third parties on an aggregate and non-personally identifiable basis.
We may use both personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information, individually or together, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, improve our products and services, better understand customer interests and preferences, and/or provide our Site users with relevant information. We may enhance or merge personally identifiable information that you provide with data obtained from third parties.
