For each visitor to our Web page, our Web server does not automatically recognize information regarding the domain or e-mail address.

Utopia Brands may also collect other profile data including but not limited to: personal interests, gender, age, education and occupation in order to assist users in finding and communicating with each other. Utopia Brands also logs non-personally-identifiable information including IP address, profile information, aggregate user data, and browser type, from users and visitors to the site. This data is used to manage the website, track usage and improve the website services. This non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with third-parties to provide more relevant services and advertisements to members. User IP addresses are recorded for security and monitoring purposes. If you arrived at our website via a link from another page, we may receive aggregate or otherwise anonymous statistical information about your visit to our site. We monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to help us develop the design and layout of the site and to improve the content of our website.

We may also use a user's email address to send updates, a newsletter or news regarding the service.
