Types of Information We Collect
When you visit our Services you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you voluntarily choose to disclose by typing information into a web-page form (for example, typing in and providing us with your email address), that is collected on an individual basis and non-personal information collected on an aggregate and passive basis as you and others browse our Services.
Personal information includes information that identifies you individually and personally, such as name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, account name, or any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline. It also includes information that concerns you but may not directly identify you, such as zip code, payment information (such as a credit card number), or certain demographic information. Finally, it may include correspondence that you send to us or post to our Service, such as the content of your e-mail communications to us.
Non-personal information includes information describing your Internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Service, and other usage details.
How We Collect Information
You may provide us information about yourself when you create an account, register for services, purchase products, or register for email newsletters and alerts, make a purchase from us, or request customer service, submit a review or other user-generated content that may be posted on the Service, if any. You may also upload personal information to your account, fill out forms on our website, or otherwise share information by communicating to or through our website.
