PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Like many websites, the Sites collect information about you depending on how you use them. However, all information collected is done via third parties (see below) and is not maintained or stored directly by Fringe Industries.
When you access the sites, we automatically collect non-personally identifiable information, such as your web browser, IP address, and time zone. Additionally, as you browse the Sites, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically collected information as “Device Information.”
Via third parties, we collect Device Information using the following technologies:
