 What Information We Collect

We collect various kinds of information that you provide to us as well as information we obtain from your use of the Services. Some of the types of information that we collect include:

“Personal Information”—information associated with or used to identify or contact a specific person. The Personal Information we may collect includes:

(1) name or username

(2) contact data (such as e-mail address and telephone number); and

(3) certain Usage Data (defined below), such as IP address.

“Usage Data”—information about an individual's online activity that, by itself, does not identify the individual, such as:

·   technical information, including your browser type, service provider, IP address, operating system, and web pages visited;

·   information about what you have searched for and looked at while using the Services;

·   metadata, which means information related to items you made available through the Services, such as the date, time, or location that a shared photograph or video was taken or posted.

Generally, we do not consider Usage Data as Personal Information because Usage Data by itself usually does not identify an individual. Personal Information and Usage Data may be linked together. Different types of Usage Information also may be linked together and once linked, may identify an individual person.

“Location Data” is a category of Personal Information collected about the location of a mobile device or computer, including:

·   the IP address of the mobile device or computer or internet service used to access the Services,

other information made available by a user or others that indicates the current or prior location of the user, such as information that you or others post indicating your location.
