Information We Collect

The types of Personal Information we collect depend on the purpose for which you provide it to us.

“Personal Information” includes any information that we collect that, alone or in combination with other information, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with an individual.
