We also collect aggregate and user-specific information on the pages that users visit. This information is used for internal review by us, to improve the content of the Signaling Gateway, to notify readers about updates to the website, to correspond with Molecule Page authors, and may occasionally be used by us to contact users for marketing purposes. The database is hosted by SDSC and shared with NPG but is not sold or traded with other organizations.
