Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Opulence Chicago 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 request. Opulence Chicago ’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Opulence Chicago ’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Opulence Chicago may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Opulence Chicago also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Opulence Chicago only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Opulence Chicago’s websites choose to interact with Opulence Chicago in ways that require Opulence Chicago to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Opulence Chicago gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.
