Crescerance gathers information about all users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently and what services users access most often. Crescerance automatically logs IP addresses, session sources, and other data which tracks users’ access to the Services. These logs are used to analyze the aggregate trends that they reveal about our customers for sales and marketing purposes. This information is primarily used to provide users of the Services with an enhanced online experience. Crescerance may disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe the Services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.
Crescerance requests personal information for purposes such as the provision of customer service and support, billing, network management, customer surveys, sales management, support, newsletter subscriptions, user group memberships, and other exchanges of information.

When you return to the same Crescerance website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Crescerance features that you customized.
