III. Use of Data

Why We Collect Data

Sometimes the reason for collection of Data will be obvious (such as when you give us your email address to allow us to contact you). When it is not, we will describe to you at the time of collection the purpose for collecting the data and most likely ask for your consent.

Sensitive personal data refers to personal identity numbers; financial account information; information concerning racial or ethnic origin; political opinions; religious, philosophical, or other beliefs; membership in trade unions or professional or trade associations; physical or mental health information; biometric data; genetic data; data concerning sexual activity or orientation; or data concerning criminal records or suspected criminal activity. However, if you provide us with sensitive personal data, whether through the Website or through any of our products or services, including the Service, you explicitly consent to our use and processing of that data.

How We Use Data

We use the data we collect from you to provide information and services you have requested and to allow you to interact with us and the website.
