1. Personal Information We Collect‍

‍

The Personal Information we collect about or from you depends on how you interact with us. In each section, we describe the categories of Personal Information we collect and the sources of this information.

‍

PersonalInformation You Directly Provide Us‍

We may collect Personal Information directly from you, such as when you contact us through our Contact Us web form. The types of Personal Information we may collect directly from you include your name, email address, and message to us that you provide via the web form.

‍

‍Personal Information We Collect Automatically  
We may automatically collect information about your interactions with us or our Website, including:

• Device, Usage, and Activity Information: We collect information about how you access our Website, including information about the device and network you use (such as your hardware model, operating system version, IP address, and browser type). We also collect information about your activity on our Website, including the access times, pages viewed, links clicked, and the page you visited before navigating to our Website.
• Information Collected by Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies: We use tracking technologies, such as cookies and web beacons, to collect information about your interactions with the Website. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve our Website and your experience, see which areas and features of our Website are popular, and count visits. Web beacons (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) are electronic images that we use on our Website to help deliver cookies, count visits, and understand usage. These technologies help us improve interactions with the Website, personalize your experience, and analyze your interactions with us. You may opt-out of third-party cookies we use by visiting their opt out pages. For example, we use Google Analytics to collect usage details. You can opt out of the collection of your data by Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• ‍Do Not Track (DNT): Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference users can set if they do not want web services to collect information about their online activity. However, there is currently no universal standard for sending and receiving DNT signals. As such, the Website currently does not respond to DNT browser signals. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.

Personal Information We Derive 
‍We may derive Personal Information or draw inferences about you based on other Personal Information we collect. For example, we may make inferences about your approximate location based on your IP address.
