Data Collection

When you interact with us through our websites or mobile applications, collectively referred to as “Online Services,” we collect personal information about you. Personal information includes data that can identify an individual. It excludes data from which identities have been removed, rendering it anonymous. We may also receive personal data from other sources and combine it with the information you provide and that collected through automated means. The information we collect may include:

  • When you create an account, we collect your first and last name, email address, username, and password. Optionally, you may provide your phone number, address, state, city, or zip code. This personal information is used to address your requests, manage your account, and correspond with you about your account, including sending you relevant information.
  • When you contact us with inquiries about our Services, our business, or other matters, we use the personal data you have provided, such as your name, email, and telephone number, to address your inquiries and provide additional information relevant to your query.

Similar to many websites and applications, our Online Services automatically collect specific details about your device, browsing activities, and patterns.

Nevertheless, we may maintain or associate it with personal information collected through other means or from third-party sources.

This data helps us enhance our Online Services and provide a more personalized experience by enabling us to:

  • Gauge our audience size and usage trends.

Third parties may also use cookies or other tracking technologies, either independently or in conjunction with web beacons, to collect data about your interactions with our Online Services. This data may be linked to your personal information or gathered from your online activities over time and across various websites and online services. These third parties may use this information for interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content delivery.
