Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your Personal Information and how we will treat it. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Services because we will not be able to perform the services.

2. THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

“Personal Information” means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified, or that relates to, describes, references or is reasonably capable of being associated with the individual. It does not include data where the person’s identity has been removed.

We collect several types of Personal Information from and about users of our Services, including the following to fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information, and as further described below:

Identity Data such as first name and last name
Contact Data such as email address and mailing address
Technical/Network Data such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, your login data, your internet connection, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser history, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and information about the equipment (computer or mobile device) you use to access our Services.
Commercial/Transaction Data such as details about transactions with you and other details of services you have purchased from us.
Profile Data such as details specific to the user’s profile/account.
Usage Data such as information about how you use our Services.

Geolocation Data such as physical location or movements.

We also may collect, use, and share de-identified Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Although Aggregated Data may be derived from your Personal Information, it is not considered Personal Information because it does not directly or indirectly identify you. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Service. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Information so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we will treat the combined data as Personal Information which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We collect Technical/Network Data. As you navigate through and interact with our Services, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain Technical/Network Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We do not use automated technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking).

We also do not maintain or associate the Technical/Network Data we collect with your Personal Information. The Technical/Network Data helps us to improve our Services and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to:

Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.
Store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our Services according to your individual interests.
Speed up your searches.
Recognize you when you return to our Services.

We only retain your Personal Information for as long as needed for our legitimate business purposes or for the time period specifically required or allowed by applicable law.
