- Demographic information and other information provided by you.
How We May Collect Other Information
We and our third party service providers may collect Other Information in a variety of ways, including:

Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language and Internet browser type and version. We use this information to ensure that the Site functions properly. - Using cookies: Cookies are pieces of information stored directly on the computer that you are using. We may use cookies in connection with the Site.

- IP Address: Your “IP Address” is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). An IP Address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user accesses the Services, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice and is done automatically by many websites and applications. We use IP Addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels of the Site, helping diagnose server problems and administering the Site.

Unless combined with Personal Information, this information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Services.

- By using Google Analytics, which is a web analysis service provided by Google that collects usage and cookie data. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of www.dplegalsearch.com to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. Find Google’s privacy policy here: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/

In some instances, we may combine Other Information with Personal Information (such as combining your name with your geographical location). If we combine any Other Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information as long as it is combined.
