Privacy and Data Protection
Non-personally identifiable information, which may be provided by you during the registration process or collected when you use our Services (‘Non-Personal Information’).

The Personal Information we collect through our Services includes name, email address, address, telephone number, IP address or other information requested whenever necessary. If we combine Personal Information with Non-Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined.
