We collect PII when users voluntarily provide it to us, for example, when they sign up for an account, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us through our website. We only collect PII necessary for the specific purpose for which it is being collected, and we ensure to handle it with the utmost care and confidentiality.

  • Non-Personal Identifiable Information (Non-PII)

Non-Personal Identifiable Information includes data that cannot be used to identify an individual directly. This information helps us understand how users interact with our website and services, allowing us to improve their overall experience. Examples of Non-PII include browser type, operating system, IP address, and pages viewed on our website.
