House may collect the following types of information from or concerning you or your computer/device:
(A) Information You Provide. We collect information that you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information that you provide to us when you use the Website, request information, or otherwise communicate with us via the Website. The types of information that we may collect include:
  • Personal Information: “Personal Information” is information that personally identifies you, such as your name, address, phone number and email address.
  • Demographic Data: “Demographic Data” is information that we collect about you (but that doesn’t specifically identify you), such as your gender, birthday, zip code, country, height, weight, lifestyle and exercise frequency.
(B) Information We Obtain From Your Use of the Website. When you access or use the Website, we may automatically collect information about you, your computer and/or mobile device, including:
  • Device Information: We may collect device specific information when you use the Website (such as your hardware model, operating system version, a unique identifier for your device, MAC address, mobile phone number and mobile network information).
  • Log Information: We log information that your web browser sends whenever you visit a website, which may include your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type and language, the websites you viewed before navigating to our site and the website you view when leaving our site, access times, pages viewed, number of clicks, domain names, one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser and, if you visit a website from a browser on a mobile phone, your phone number. In addition, our servers may log certain general information that our software sends whenever a message or other content is sent or received, including time and date stamps and identifiers for the devices from which messages are sent or received.
  • Location Information. When you use a location-enabled service on the Website, we may collect information about your location (such as GPS information provided by your mobile device).

We may use various technologies to collect and store information when you visit the Website, including by sending one or more cookies to you, by using web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”, “clear gifs,” or “web bugs”), Flash local shared objects (also known as “Flash cookies” or “Flash LSOs”) or other anonymous identifiers. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us to improve the Website and your experience, to see which areas and features are popular and to count visits. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. However, in contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages and other content. Note that, in addition to cookies, web beacons and Flash LSOs used by the Website may let third party vendors and partners set and access their cookies on your computer or device or use their web beacons on the Website. Other companies’ use of their cookies and web beacons is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one.

We do not share your Personal Information with these parties, but we may share anonymized or aggregated information with them to improve the performance of the Website or relevancy of the content you see. The collection of this information by third-parties may include the collection of information from you when you are on third-party websites, and it is subject to such third-parties’ privacy policies. For additional information, see the section concerning Third Party Websites/Applications, below.
