3. The Information We Collect.
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.
3.3 Anonymous Information. Our Website also collects, processes, and/or uses information that does not identify you or your devices, including Personal Information that has been made anonymous by: (i) 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.
3.4 Treatment of Combined Information. To enable us to better understand the characteristics of our 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 Activity Information or other Anonymous Information with your Personal Information, then we will treat the resulting combination as Personal Information.
