Website visitors

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

Gathering of personally-identifying information

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

Information you provide with us

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

Web server logs

We gather certain information automatically through your use of the Site. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring or exit pages, the files viewed on the Site, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data to analyze trends in the aggregate and administer the site. We use analytical software to help us understand this information. This software sends information to its licensor. Other sites and companies may also use this software. As a result, the licensor may collect information that, when aggregated by them, allows them to identify you individually. We have no responsibility for this collection and use.
