Personal Data Collected
Depending on how you interact with this site and use our products or services, we may collect different types of Personal Data (described below) and Other Data (also defined below). Typically, we collect the Personal Data and Other Data listed below.
Information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, phone number, email address, address, usage history, and unique device identifiers, is referred to as personal data. To give you the requested information, goods, or services (including this site), we might need to gather and process certain Personal Data. In addition, we might be obligated by law to do so. Below is how we collect and process personal information.
- Setting Up an Account. If you need to register on this site, we ask for your personal information. Your name, email address, phone number, company name, and other such details are required throughout the registration process. Anyone you share your login and password with can access this information, which needs to be saved on this site. Because of this, kindly keep your username and password private and don't share them with anybody else.

- Transaction Services. Payments made through this site may be collected by us through third-party payment services (each, a "Payment Service"). If you use this site to make a payment, you might be taken to a webpage that is not hosted by us, but rather by the Payment Service or its service providers. Payment Service, not us, will collect any Personal Data you submit through one of their pages, and Payment Service's privacy policy will apply to that data instead of this Policy. Payment Service's usage of the data collected via the Payment Service page is outside of our jurisdiction and control.
- Log information. We may gather log data, which may include information about the network and connection (such as IP addresses and Internet Service Providers (ISPs), device and browser identifiers and information (such as operating systems, user agents, language and time zone settings, and other technical data), advertising identifiers, cookie identifiers and information, and similar data.
- Usage Data. We may collect usage statistics, such as usage rates, technical error occurrences, diagnostic reports, settings preferences, and backup data. We may also collect usage data on user journey history, including clickstreams and page navigation, URLs, timestamps, content viewed or searched for, page response times, page interaction, and similar data, as well as content interactions that may include views, searches, downloads, and prints.
- Alternative Methods. In addition, we might collect personal data through other means. These may include carefully selected third-party business partners that collaborate with us on our services. We might use that information to provide specific services, products, or content to you or to improve your overall experience when you visit our website. Additionally, we might occasionally obtain lists of names and contact details of people who might be interested in our services from third parties.
We do not ask for sensitive Personal Data, such as social security numbers, details about racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal histories, or trade union membership. So we want to encourage and advise you not to provide us with or disclose such sensitive information to us in any way, whether through this site or any other means.
Personal Data Use and Disclosure

See the "opt-out" option below if you would prefer that we do not send you electronic promotional messages.
- Campaigns. We might run contests, sweepstakes, and other similar promotions (collectively, "Promotions").

The terms and conditions of such rules will take precedence over this Policy to the extent that they have to do with how your Personal Data is handled. We utilize this data to manage the Promotions.
