We only use this type of data in aggregate, that is we look at the data on a collective basis, in summary form, rather than on an individual basis. This data helps us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our web sites to make your experience easier and more enjoyable. We may also provide statistical “ratings” about how our customers collectively use our web sites to advertisers, sponsors, and other companies with which we do business. These statistical ratings do not contain any personally identifiable information about you or any of our users.

3.3.1 We collect and analyze traffic on our web sites by keeping track of the IP addresses of our visitors. IP addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are assigned to each computer browser accessing the Internet. An IP address, by itself, cannot identify you personally. However, when combined with other information provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), your IP address can be used to identify the computer originating a message.
3.4 IP Rights :
3.4.1 All intellectual property rights relating to the Platform, including copyrights, trade mark rights, patent rights, design rights, trade name rights, database rights, and neighbouring rights, as well as rights to knowhow ("IP Rights"), are owned by AML, its licensors or our Organizers. Nothing in these Terms of Use constitutes the transfer of any IP Rights from AML to you. You are solely granted a right to use the Platform if you act in accordance with the Terms of Use.
3.4.2 By uploading reviews and other content, you grant AML a royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable and transferable right to reproduce this content and make it available on the Platform, including the right to use (parts of) this content, for promotional purposes and other services in connection with the Platform.

5. GOOGLE ANALYTICS & SQUARESPACE ANALYTICS
5.1 This website is using Google Analytics & Squarespace Analytics, web analysis services of Google Inc. (“Google”) and Squarespace Inc (“Squarespace”). The use includes the “Universal Analytics” operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze a user’s activities across devices.
5.2 Google Analytics & Squarespace Analytics use cookies. The information generated by the cookies relating to your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google or Squarespace server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google and Squarespace will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google or Squarespace server in the USA and shortened there. On this website Google Analytics and Squarespace Analytics have been extended to include IP anonymization in order to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google or Squarespace Analytics is not merged with other Google or Squarespace data. For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/gb/ or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en and http://www.squarespace.com/privacy/.
