1. Types of Information Collected

In order to better provide Users with services, Company collects two types of information about Users, Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Company’s primary goal in collecting information from Users is to provide Users with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using this Site.

Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets the Company know the specifics of who a User is. When a User engages in certain activities on this Site, such as submitting content and/or posting content in discussion forums or other public areas, filling out a survey, or sending the Company feedback, Company may ask such User to provide certain information by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for any User to elect to engage in these activities, however, Company may ask that a User provide the Company personal information, such as first and last name, mailing address (including zip code), email address, and other personally identifiable information. Depending upon the activity, some of the information Company asks a User to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If a User does not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, such User will not be able to engage in that activity.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. Company gathers certain information about Users based upon Users use this Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis.
