Generally, personal information is data used to identify you or your activities on the Website or through services offered on the Website.

What Data Do We Collect?
The information collected through the Website falls into two categories: (1) information voluntarily supplied by visitors to our Website and (2) information gathered via automated means as visitors navigate the Website.
Information Voluntarily Supplied by Visitors: Using this Website, you may provide us with personal information to help us serve your needs. For example, providing us with your name, mailing address, driver’s license number, e-mail address, or other data that identifies you to request or receive information. Any personal information provided to us is used only for the purpose indicated on the Website or in this statement.
Information Gathered via Automated Means: We use various tools to enhance the Website user experience and track users of the Website, including cookies and web beacons. Cookies are small pieces of text that a website places on your computer to help it remember information about your visit. Web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers embedded invisibly on the web pages. Neither cookies nor web beacons can read data off your computer’s hard drive or collect personal information. We use information collected from cookies and web beacons to improve the user’s experience and the overall quality of our services. We may also use cookies to identify a user’s device when that user returns to our Website and to provide services more efficiently. We may also use cookies and web beacons to collect information from third parties (such as Google) to help advertise our products and services, to analyze the effectiveness of our marketing or the performance of this Website, and to determine whether you may be interested in other products or services. We also use web beacons to help deliver cookies and compile analytics. Our cookies and web beacons may also come from third-party service providers who have permission to place such tools on our Website.
You can refuse to accept and delete cookies by adjusting your browser setting. Please note that restricting or deleting cookies may impact your browsing experience on the Website or prevent you from using some of its services which may result in the deletion of any preferences you have set. For more information on rejecting or deleting cookies, consult with your browsers or device help documentation or visit https://www.aboutcookies.org/. Fairbanks does not use technology that recognizes do-not-track signals from your browser.

In addition, while ensuring network security and consistent service for all users, Fairbanks employs software programs to monitor network traffic, identify unauthorized access, detect damaging computer viruses and software, and improve the performance of Fairbanks’ network and this Website. During such monitoring, these programs may detect additional information from your computers, such as your IP address, addresses from network packets, and other technical information. Any such information is used for the purpose of maintaining the security and performance of Fairbanks’ networks and computer systems.
