What Is Personal Information and Non-Personal Information. Both Personal Information and Non-Personal Information are being collected by us. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” is information (1) that can be used to specifically identify or contact you (such as your first and last name, account or user name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, or other account number); (2) about you or your activities or preferences when such information is directly linked to personally identifying information; and (3) that may be used to contact you on-line or off-line. “Personal information” might include your unique device or user identifier when the identifier is combined with your personal information. Personal information does not include “aggregate information”, which is data we collect and use to create aggregate statistics about the characteristics and activities of the users and visitors of the Services and enhance our Services and our sites, from which any Personal Information has been removed. Aggregate information may include demographic information, such as city of residence, your unique user or user identifier (when not matched with or tie to your Personal Information), information about your computer, software, platform and Internet IP address.
