1. Types of Information We Collect

We collect both "Personal Information" and "Anonymous Information" about our users.

"Anonymous Information" is information that cannot be used to contact or identify an individual and is not linked to information that can be used to do so. It includes passively collected information about your activities on the Website and Services, such as usage data, to the extent that information is not linked to your Personal Information.

Users can access and browse a majority of the Website without disclosing Personal Information, although, like most websites, we passively collect certain information from your devices, such as your IP address, browser information, unique device identifier ("UDID") and/or your mobile operating system.
