The information that we collect about you falls into certain categories as further described in this Section 3 (The Information We Collect). This information consists of the following:
3.1 Personal Information. We may collect certain information that identifies you as an individual
(collectively, “Personal Information”). The Personal Information we collect may include the following:
– Your name and email address;
– Your other contact information, including a mailing address and phone number; and
– Geolocation information.
3.2 Online Activity Information. We may also collect technical and device-related information through
our Platform (collectively, “Online Activity Information”). Online Activity Information is typically
collected automatically by technical means and, subject to Section 3.4 (Treatment of Combined
Information), for purposes of our Platform, may consist of the following:
– Device identifiers, such as cookies;
– Device information, such as hardware and software settings;
– IP addresses and log information, such as your device’s name, the type and version of your web browser, and referrer addresses that can function to identify a user device; and
– Tracking information that we, or a third party, may collect.
To the extent that statutes, regulations, and any other laws that apply to the Services (collectively, “Applicable Law”) establish that Online Activity Information constitutes Personal Information, and such Applicable Law applies to information we collect from you, then we will treat the relevant Online Activity Information as Personal Information. In addition, sometimes Online Activity Information can be associated with your Personal Information, in which case we will treat it as Personal Information (as described in Section 3.4 (Treatment of Combined Information)). Otherwise, we consider, and treat, Online Activity Information as Anonymous Information.
– Device identifiers, such as cookies;
– Device information, such as hardware and software settings;

3.3 Anonymous Information. Our Website also collects, processes, and/or uses information that does

removing identifying fields and aggregating the information with other information so that individual
subjects of the information cannot be re-identified, or (ii) anonymizing the information with techniques
that remove or modify the identifying data so as to prevent re-identification of the anonymized
information (collectively, “Anonymous Information”). Information that meets these criteria might
include, for example, demographic information, statistical information (e.g., page views and hit counts),
and general tracking information. We use Anonymous Information for our business operations. Because
Anonymous Information does not include Personal Information, Anonymous Information is outside the
scope of this Privacy Policy.

users and/or to conduct the Business, we may link your Personal Information with Online Activity
Information associated with you or other Anonymous Information. If we combine or associate Online
