Aggregated usage tracking is conducted through the use of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and cookies, as described below. Such information enables us to tailor our content to fit Customers' needs better and to help our advertisers understand our audience. We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify an individual.

Use of Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses

An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified by the main computers known as web servers that "serve up" or display web pages.

We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of Our Website. When Customers request pages from PHH Mortgage Services, our servers log the Customers' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a Customer's session will be logged, but the Customer will remain anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a Customer when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with Our Website terms of use agreement, other terms of service of PHH Mortgage Services, or to protect Our service, Website, customers or others.
