This Policy applies solely to information collected through our Services and does not cover websites or services that we do not control.
Personal Information
In this Policy, "Personal Information" refers to information that specifically identifies an individual, such as name, address, telephone number, or email address. Personal Information also includes information about an individual's activities, such as activity on our Services, location information, and demographic information when linked to identifiable personal information.
Personal Information does not include "aggregate" or other non-personally identifiable information.

We may use and disclose aggregate information and other non-personally identifiable information for various purposes.
