Automatically-Collected Information
We automatically collect certain information about you and the device with which you access Traplanz. For example, when you use Traplanz, we will log your IP address, operating system type, browser type, referring website, pages you viewed, and the dates/times when you accessed our website. We may also collect information about actions you take when using Traplanz, such as links clicked.
