The information we collect automatically may include personal information. This information helps us to improve the Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service to you.
The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

However, if you disable Flash cookies or other similar technologies, please note that you may not have access to certain content and product features on the Website.
- Pages of the Website may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).
- Server Logs and Other Technologies. We collect many different types of information from server logs and other technologies. For example, we collect information about the device you use to access the Website, your operating system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. Our server logs also record the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. An IP address is a unique identifier that devices require to identify and communicate with each other on the Internet.

These tools help us improve user experience and deliver our services.
- We may use device-related information to authenticate users. For example, we may use your IP address, browser information, or other data provided by your browser or device to identify the device being used to access the Website. We may also use these device-related techniques for associating you with different devices that you may use to access our content including for fraud-protection purposes and to better target advertising.

As a result of this, you may send to the third party the information that you are viewing on a certain part of the Website. If you are not logged into your account with the third party, then the third party may not know your identity. If you are logged in to your account with the third party, then the third party may be able to link information or actions about your interactions with the Website to your account with them.

Phishing or False Emails
If you receive an unsolicited email that appears to be from us that requests personal information, or that asks you to verify or confirm your account or other personal information by clicking on a link, that email was likely to have been sent by someone trying to unlawfully obtain your information, sometimes referred to as a “phisher” or “spoofer.” We do not ask for this type of information in an email. Do not provide the information or click on the link. If you receive an email like this, please contact us by sending an email to info@alluma.org.

When you enter your personal information on Alluma’s subscription or sign-up forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer (SSL) technology. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information in our possession, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the security of our site, you can email us at connect@alluma.org.
