If you fill forms or portals on the Website, you may be asked to provide us with certain kinds of “Personal Information”, including your name and email address.

If you are paying for goods or services that you purchase on the Website, you may be asked to provide certain “payment information”, which includes, but is not limited to, your credit or debit card number, card expiration date, CVV code, check payment information, and billing/payment account address.

If we receive generalized information provided through the use of cookies or similar automated tracking methods, the collection of such generalized information is governed by this Policy.
