This non-personal information may include ’the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from or what browser you are using.

We have grouped together the following categories of Personal Information to more easily explain how we use this information:

(a) “Personal Identifiers,” including your first and last name;

(b) “Contact Information,” including email address(es), mailing address(es), phone number(s);

(c) “Financial Information,” including your bank account or credit card number; and
