RMYF may also gather anonymous, or aggregate, information, which may be used by us or shared with third parties. This is information which does not personally identify you, but which may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the services we offer. This information is collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of numeric codes used to identify a computer.
