2. How We Collect Information
The information we collect depends on what you do when you visit or utilize the Site. We want to be very clear: we will not obtain PII when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such PII to us. Providing PII is strictly voluntary.
We collect PII and Deidentified Information in various ways, including:
Directly from You: We collect PII when you voluntarily submit PII to us while completing forms on the Site and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available on the Site. The PII we collect depends on what you do when you visit or utilize the Site or how you choose to communicate with us.
Through Your Use of the Site: We may collect PII and Deidentified Information that your browser transmits when you visit the Site. For example, we may gather the name of the domain from which you access the Internet, the date and time you access the Site, and the Internet address of the website from which you linked to the Site. We may also collect Deidentified Information about how you access and interact with the Site through the use of automated tracking technologies, such as session cookies, persistent cookies, and web beacons.
A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to an internet browser, which enables the Site to remember and customize your subsequent visits. We may use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate the Site. In particular, we may use session cookies to record session information, such as which web pages you visited and to track your activity on the Site. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. We may also use persistent cookies to track and target your interests to enhance your experience on the Site. Persistent cookies remain on your device for an extended period of time. Additionally, we may use web beacons, which are single-pixel, electronic images embedded in the Site that allow us to gather information about your browsing activities on the Site.
Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can instruct your internet browser to block cookies or to provide you with a warning prompt before you accept cookies from the Site. Please refer to your internet browser’s instructions to learn more about these functions.

We do not make any representations or warranties concerning, and will not in any way be liable for, any informational content, products, services, software, or other materials available through third parties. Your use of third parties’ services and/or third party websites is governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of those third parties and/or third party websites. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies and statements of such third parties and/or third party websites.
3. How We Use Information
We may use your PII for lawful business purposes: (i) as necessary for the performance of our contract with you, (ii) for our legitimate interests, so long as they are not overridden by your own rights and interests, or (iii) as required by law. These purposes include:
