• Non-Personal Information: The first type of information is non-identifiable information which may be made available or gathered through your use of the Services. To clarify, we are not aware of your identity due to such information (“Non-Personal Information”). The Non-Personal Information which is being collected may include your aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted such as (but not limited to): the type of operating system, type of browser, language preference, the time and date you access our Website, your actions within our Services (e.g., registration, pages viewed, etc.), internet service provider, browsing data, search queries, browsing history, and approximate geo-location (country level).
