We urge you to read this Privacy Policy so that you understand our commitment to you and your privacy, and how you can participate in that commitment.

In some jurisdictions, Personal Information includes information that identifies a legal entity, such as company name. We describe the Personal Information that we collect in more detail below. We may also collect information that is related to you but that does not personally identify you (“Non- personal Information”). Non-personal Information also includes information that could personally identify you in its original form, but that we have modified (for instance, by aggregating, anonymizing or de-identifying such information) in order to remove or hide any Personal Information.
