As a result, while we employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect data and seek to partner with companies which do the same, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or from the site, and are not responsible for the actions of any third parties that may receive any such information.

3. Types of Information Collected and Uses of Collected Information We collect two types of information about our site Users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information is information that identifies a specific End User. When you engage in certain activities on the site, such as creating an account, submitting content, posting a review, sending us or our partners feedback, requesting information about our services, submitting an affiliate agreement, posting a video or signing up for special offers from third parties through the site (collectively, "Identification Activities"), We may ask you to provide certain information about yourself.
It is optional for you to engage in an Identification Activity. If you elect to engage in an Identification Activity, We may ask you to provide us with certain personal information about yourself, such as your first and last name, gender, mailing address (including post code), email address, telephone number and date of birth.
Depending on the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some is identified as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory information for a particular activity that requires it, you will not be permitted to engage in that activity.
We use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the operation of the site, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, analyse site use, improve our service offerings, and to tailor your experience with third parties as provided in this Privacy Policy.
We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to troubleshoot, resolve disputes, accomplish administrative tasks, contact you, enforce our agreements with you, including our site Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-Personally Identifiable Information is information that does not identify a specific End User. This type of information may include things like the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") of the site you visited before coming to our site, the URL of the site you visit after leaving our site, the type of browser you are using and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address.
We, and/or our authorised third party service providers and advertisers, may automatically collect this information when you visit our site through the use of electronic tools like Cookies and web beacons or Pixel tags.
We use Non-Personally Identifiable Information to troubleshoot, administer the site, analyse trends, gather demographic information, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities. We may also share this information with our authorised third party service providers and advertisers to measure the overall effectiveness of our online advertising, content, and programming.
Automatic Logging of Session Data
We automatically log generic information about your computer's connection to the Internet, which we call "session data", that is anonymous and not linked to any personal information. Session data consists of things such as IP address, operating system and type of browser software being used and the activities conducted by the user while on our site. An IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet, such as our web servers, know where to send data back to the user, such as the pages of the site the user wishes to view. We collect session data because it helps us analyze such things as what items visitors are likely to click on most, the way visitors are clicking through the site, how many visitors are surfing to various pages on the site, how long visitors to the site are staying and how often they are visiting. It also helps us diagnose problems with our servers and lets us better administer our systems. Although such information does not identify any visitor personally, it is possible to determine from an IP address a visitor's Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the approximate geographic location of his or her point of connectivity.

Third-party vendors have access to and may collect information only as needed to perform their functions and are not permitted to share or use the information for any other purpose.
Business partners with whom we may jointly offer products or services. You can tell when a third party is involved in a product or service you have requested because their name will appear with ours. If you choose to access these optional services, we may share information about you, including your personal information, with those partners so that they can contact you directly by email or post about their products and services.
