From the Privacy Policy:
"The Enconfidence Ad Software does not collect or maintain any personally identifying information about you, meaning, among other things, that we will not know your name, your e-mail address, your home address, your phone number, etc. The software does track the Web sites you visit through your computer as a means to assess your interests. Generally, such information is anonymously aggregated with the information of other users to determine interests and trends. It is possible, however, that we could use the information regarding specific sites that you visit to send you Enconfidence Ads that might be of particular interest to you. However, even in such circumstances, the Enconfidence Ad Software will not associate such information with other information that would enable us to identify you, as we do not obtain or maintain any personally identifying information.
Enconfidence Ads
Any Ad generated by the Enconfidence Ad Software will clearly indicate that it is an Enconfidence Ad by stating that the Ad is from the TEAM Network. Please note that the delivery of an Enconfidence Ad is generated by the Enconfidence Ad Software and not by the Web site that you may be viewing at the time that the Ad appears or the publisher of that Web site. Enconfidence Ads may be displayed from advertisers who compete with the publisher of the Web site that you are viewing when the ad appears.
Information Collected by Enconfidence and How It's Used
We intentionally do not seek information that would enable us to learn your identity, nor do we obtain or maintain personally identifiable information about you such as email addresses, last name, street addresses, or phone numbers or any other sensitive or personal financial information, such as credit card numbers, login IDs, passwords or bank account numbers. Warning: Enconfidence will never ask you for any such personally identifiable information.
The Enconfidence Software does, however, transmit limited non-personally identifiable information (the "Collected Information"), such as your computer's IP address, type of browser and operating system, unique software ID, version of the Enconfidence Software, internal software status indicators (including error codes to determine if the Enconfidence Software has encountered any internal errors), a tag that identifies any Enconfidence distribution partner from whom you may have downloaded or installed the Enconfidence Software, Web sites that you may visit, whether you have interacted with any Enconfidence Ads or registered for any products or services advertised by an Enconfidence Ad (although we will not obtain or maintain any of the registration information), your astrological sign and your time zone. We collect information regarding your Web surfing habits so that we can target advertisements and promotions that may be of the most interest to you. We will aggregate such information with the information of other consumers so that we can identify trends within our user base.
