This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect between you and the Site(s). Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Different pieces of information, which collected together can lead to the identification of an individual, also constitute personal data.

Personal data is subject to the protection requirements set out in the GDPR.

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Site. While you can use many features of the Site(s) anonymously, you may be required to provide Personal Information to gain access to some of our content or services. Personal Information may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number. For example, we may ask you to provide us with Personal Information that can be used to contact or identify you, including information that you provide by filling in forms on our Site.
