We collect transaction details related to your use of the Services, including the type of services you requested or provided, date and time the service was provided, and other related transaction details. We collect information about how you interact with the Services, preferences expressed, and settings chosen. In some cases we do this through the use of cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies that create and maintain unique identifiers.
Idea Grove also tracks activity and function of the Services in the form of log files on web servers. These logs are analyzed by third-party statistical analysis software solutions, such as Google Analytics, to provide visitor activity trend data. The information inside the log files includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/timestamp, referring/exit pages, pages viewed, the number of clicks, crashes, and other system activity.

1. Personal Information
The personal information you voluntarily provide will be used to provide reliable and convenient delivery of the Services; to personalize, maintain, and improve our products and services; to provide customer support and respond to your requests; and to analyze usage and activity trends. We also use the information we collect to enhance the safety and security of our users; for research, testing, and development; and to perform internal operations necessary to provide our services, including troubleshooting. Idea Grove may use this information to inform you of services, promotions, or other news that may be of value to you. This information will not be disclosed to a third party unless you affirmatively consent to its release or unless required by law, court order, or as legally required to do so in connection with law enforcement investigations or other legal proceedings. Idea Grove or its contracted vendors do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for third party direct marketing purposes, except when the purpose and manner of the disclosure has been disclosed to you prior to your providing the information.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as processing monetary transactions (e.g., credit card transactions), sending emails, or answering customer questions about the Services. Those companies may be provided (either by us or directly by you) with the personal information they need to deliver the service for which they are hired. We require these companies to maintain the confidentiality of the information they receive, and prohibit them from using the information for any other purpose.
2. Log Activity for Statistical Analysis
