We collect two types of information. The first type is ‘anonymous information’. This is general information that does not identify an individual person or other information that is linked to an individual. By way of example, we may collect information to tell us five thousand people visited this Privacy Policy today – they are ‘anonymous’ to us. This could be information that is collected from responses to a survey in which demographic information is sought (such as your age, gender, and city) which is used in aggregate and remains anonymous. The second type of information that we collect and store is ‘personal information’. This provides us with specific data as to who you are, establishing and verifying your identity, location, email address etc. We will ask for specific personal information when you elect to register for a Service or utilize the Service. Personal information is collected for the ‘three primary reasons’ set out above. How much of your personal information you choose to disclose to us is completely up to you. We have identified in this Policy the ways in which we may collect information. The only way we know something about you personally is if you provide it to us or if you utilize a Service or if you are a party to a transaction based on a Service that has been provided or undertaken.

The personal information you have not disclosed, in such circumstances, will have been necessary for the Service. 4.
