Information Collected Via Technology
As you use Good Square, certain information may be passively collected and stored on our or our service providers’ server logs, including your Internet protocol address, browser type and operating system. We also use Cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (“URLs”) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the solutions and information for which you searched and viewed, or on which of the products and advertisements displayed on Good Square you clicked. An Internet protocol address, or “IP Address,” is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet.

Persistent Cookies can be removed by following your Internet browser help file directions. In order to use our services offered through Good Square, your web browser must accept Cookies. If you choose to disable Cookies, some aspects of Good Square may not work properly, and you may not be able to receive our services.
