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.

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. We collect aggregate information about the use of the Services to provide the best possible service and to allow us to make certain recommendations and internal reports and share such information with our partners about how our customers, collectively, use the Services so that our partners also understand how people use the Services and they can provide you with an optimal user experience.
