What information do we collect?
If you sign up for one of our services (e.g. Weekly Top 5 Rates, Rate Alerts) you may be asked to enter your e-mail address. You may, however, visit our site anonymously.
We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful. It sets cookies in your browser and receives your approximate location, derived from your IP address, along with the pages you view. We use it only to understand how the site is used in aggregate. You can prevent it entirely with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, and the site works exactly the same with it blocked.
We do not show ads, and we do not sell your personal information.

Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:
- To personalize your experience (your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs)
- To improve our website (we continually strive to improve our website offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you)
- To send periodic emails (you may opt-out)
Do we use cookies?
Yes (Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computers hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers' systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.)
