More About IP Addresses: An “IP address” is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet.

For example, if you have registered with this Site, we may link your IP address to account information that identifies you personally. We may also provide your IP address to our third-party service providers who can use it to identify your state and zip code. This gives us valuable demographic information about the individuals who use this Site.
