The information we collect
Below are the different types of information we may collect.
Non-identifiable and non-personal information, which may be provided by you during the registration process or collected when you use our Services (“Non-Personal Information”). Non-Personal Information does not allow us to identify the individual from whom it was collected. The Non-Personal Information we collect primarily consists of technical information and aggregated usage information.
Information that can identify you individually, meaning information that identifies you or can, with reasonable effort, identify you (“Personal Information”). The Personal Information we collect through our Services may include name, email address, address, phone number, IP address, or other information requested whenever necessary. If we combine Personal Information with Non-Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined.
