What Information We Collect & How We Collect It

We may from time-to-time collect and receive certain information about you as you interact with our Site, as explained in this section.

In addition to any Personal Information or other information that you choose to submit to us via our Site, we and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically (or passively) store or collect certain information whenever you visit or interact with the Site (“Usage Information”).
