Which data do we collect?
Below is an overview of the data we may collect:

Individually identifiable information, i.e., information through which you can be identified or could be reasonably identified (“personal data”). Personal data collected through our services may include information requested from time to time, such as names, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, and more. When we combine personal data with non-personal data, such combined data is treated as personal data by us as long as it remains combined.
