Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Happier Place 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. Happier Place’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Happier Place’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Happier Place may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Happier Place also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on happier.place blogs/sites. Happier Place 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 commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Happier Place’s websites choose to interact with Happier Place in ways that require Happier Place to gather personally-identifying information.

Those who engage in transactions with Happier Place are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Happier Place collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Happier Place.
