Like most website operators, CountdownMail.com collects non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor or image request. The purpose of collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use the Network. From time to time, CountdownMail.com may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Network.

CountdownMail.com does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information; however, this may prevent them from engaging in certain Network-related activities.
