Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Synergy Haus, LLC collects non-personally-identifying information 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. Synergy Haus, LLC’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Synergy Haus, LLC’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Synergy Haus, LLC may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Synergy Haus, LLC also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in Users and for Users leaving comments on blogs. Synergy Haus, LLC only discloses logged in User and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

The amount and type of information that Synergy Haus, LLC gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.
