We collect or may collect your IP address, referral data, and browser and platform type. You do not have to register on the CA Sites or provide any Personal Information to us before we can collect this anonymous information. CA assigns an anonymous ID number to your requests and links the following additional data to that anonymous ID number: the date and time you visited, your search terms, and the links you choose to click. Like most standard Web site servers, we use log files to collect and store this anonymous user information. CA analyzes the information to determine trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Correspondence
If you contact CA, we may keep a record of that correspondence and we may collect your email address for archival purposes but will not use, transfer or sell your email address except as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Third Party Links
CA Sites contain links to other sites on the Web. Please be aware that CA is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave the CA Sites and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by CA Sites.
Third Party Advertisements
CA Sites may contain links to various other sites that are not owned by the CA. While CA makes every effort to ensure that its advertisers post clear and complete privacy policies and observe appropriate data practices, each of these sites has a privacy policy that may differ from that of CA. The privacy practices of other websites and companies are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Please be aware that CA is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. CA encourages you to be aware when you leave the CA Sites and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collect personally identifiable information. CA may allow other companies, called third party ad servers or ad networks, to display advertisements on the CA Sites or in CA emails to you. Some of these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows them to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. CA does not have access to or control over the cookies that may be placed by these parties on your computer, and has no control over these parties' privacy policies or information collection practices. Except as specifically set forth in this Privacy Policy, CA does not to provide your Personal Information to its advertisers unless you make the choice to share it with them. CA occasionally passes Personally Identifiable Information via a secure interface to certain of its advertisers for the purpose of making it easier for you to sign up for their offers. However, this information is only to be used by the advertiser if you agree to submit the information to the advertiser for the purposes of completing an offer. In the event that CA is unable to capture your transaction detail, CA may need to validate your transaction with an advertiser or merchant partner to ensure that your account is credited. The validation information shared is used solely for this purpose and may include your first name, last name, email address, mailing address or date of birth. CA will require that these third parties comply with the information practices set forth in this Privacy Policy and that the information not be shared or used for any other purpose. CA may share non-personally identifiable information collected via the service in aggregate, anonymous form with advertisers or other third parties so that they may better evaluate what products and services are most appealing to different segments of CA's user base. CA does not disclose your first name, last name, address, email address, or any other Personal Information to these third parties unless you give your express consent.
Third Party Partners
When you use our website, we share information that we may collect from you, such as your email (in hashed form), IP address or information about your browser or operating system, with our partner/service provider, LiveRamp Inc and its group companies (‘LiveRamp’). LiveRamp may use our first-party cookie on your browser to match your shared information to their marketing databases in order to provide back a pseudonymous privacy-centric identifier for our use in real-time bidding in digital advertising. These third parties may in turn link further demographic or interest-based information to your browser. To opt out of this use, please

Cookies
CA may set and access cookies on your computer. A cookie is a small data file that a Web site may send to your browser and which may then be stored on your system. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. For the session cookie, once you close the browser, the cookie terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. We use cookie and web beacon technology to track which pages on the CA Sites our visitors view and which Web browsers our visitors use. We may also use cookies to help us provide personalized features and preferences to you within the various CA Sites in a way that may be linked to individual user information that you elect to share with us. We also use "action tags" to assist in delivering the cookie. These action tags allow us to compile statistics and other data about our customers on an aggregate basis, by embedding a random identifying number on each user's browser. We then track where that number shows up on our site. Cookies help us track your responses to our market research surveys, to record statistics behind special offers,etc., however, we will never share such personally identifiable information with third parties except as set forth below under "Sharing." Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually configure your browser to prevent this. Not accepting cookies may make certain features of the CA Sites unavailable to you, though we will make every effort to ensure that users who have disabled cookies are denied access only to those portions of the website that legitimately require cookies for their functionality. Notwithstanding anything else in this policy, we or a data provider we have engaged may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser to enable you to receive customized ads or content. These cookies contain no personally identifiable information. The cookies may reflect de-identified demographic or other data linked to data you voluntarily have submitted to us, e.g., your email address, that we may share with a data provider solely in hashed, non-human readable form. To opt-out of these cookies and for more information, please visit

Sharing
Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose Personal Information when required by law, where we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding or administrative legal, a criminal investigation, a court order, or legal process served on CA Sites. We may also share your Personal Information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of CA Sites' terms of use, or as otherwise required by law. Personal Information collected by CA may be disclosed to third parties to whom CA contracts out specialized goods or services (such as IT service providers). If CA does disclose Personal Information to third party contractors, CA takes steps to ensure that those contractors:Comply with their obligations under applicable privacy laws; and • Are authorized only to use Personal Information in order to provide the goods and services required by CA. CA may also disclose your Personal Information to third parties where it has your express permission to do so, or where it can reasonably be inferred from the circumstances that you consent to the disclosure to the third parties. CA tries to limit the information it provides to third parties to the information they need to help CA provide goods and services to you.
Mergers; Business Transitions
In the event CA goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' Personal Information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred, unless such a transfer will violate any applicable law.

Notification of Changes
We do reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we decide to change this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes in places on the CA Sites deemed appropriate by us so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we would disclose it. If, however, we are going to use Personal Information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users by posting a notice on CA Sites for at least 30 days. Your continued use of CA Sites after the changes are posted constitutes your agreement to the changes. If you do not agree to the changes, please discontinue your use of CA Sites.
Special Notification with respect to Children's Privacy (Users under the age of 13)
In response to concerns about protecting childrens privacy online, Congress enacted the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"), which sets forth rules and procedures governing the ways in which Web sites may collect, use and disclose any personal information for children under the age of 13. In accordance with CA policy and COPPA regulations, we DO NOT: 1. Request or knowingly collect personally identifiable information online or offline contact information from users under 13 years of age; or 2. Knowingly use or share personal information from users under 13 years of age with third parties; We request that children under the age of 13 not submit any Personal Information to us via the CA Sites.

or defend legal claims

task carried out in the public interest, or for the purposes of our legitimate interests. The
