From time to time, A Tribe Called Thrift may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its Site.

 

A Tribe Called Thrift also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on atribecalledthrift.com blog posts and/or reviews under purchased products.
