Third Parties

Manhattan Portage may provide third parties with aggregate statistics about our customers, traffic patterns, and related site information. This data reflects site usage patterns gathered during thousands of customer visits to our Web site each month but does not contain behavioral or identifying information about any individual member, unless that member has given us permission to share that information. We may also provide log files and other databases of user information to third parties for analysis, so we can get a better understanding of traffic through our site and thus improve our content offerings. Manhattan Portage also may use third party companies to provide delivery of e-mail newsletters and other messages over e-mail. Manhattan Portage uses a third-party advertising company to serve ads when you visit our sites.
