Important information

What is personal data?

The term “personal data” means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name, address, telephone number, mobile number, email address, or other account number), and also information about that individual’s location or activities, such as information about their use of the Service, login preferences, IP addresses or mobile device identifiers, from which an individual can be identified.

Personal information does not include “aggregated” or “de-identified” or “anonymised” information, which is data we collect about the use of the Service or about a group or category of products, services or users, or other data from which individual identities or other personal information has been removed so that the individual concerned cannot be identified directly or indirectly. Such data helps us understand trends and our users’ needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor our Service. This policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of such information.
