This policy (together with our terms of use, listing, license and any other documents referred to in it) describes the information that we collect from you, or that you provide on our sites and how that information may be used or disclosed by us. This policy does not apply to information we collect through any other means, or to information collected on or by any other company, affiliate, or third-party site, or by any third-party application that may link to or be accessible from our sites. Please read the following carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your personal information and how we will treat it.

Types of Information We Collect
We collect two basic types of information - personal information and anonymous information. Anonymous information means information that does not directly or indirectly identify, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, an individual. Personal information means information that identifies (whether directly or indirectly) a particular individual, such as the individual's name, postal address, email address and telephone number. When anonymous information is directly or indirectly associated with personal information, this anonymous information also is treated as personal information.
We may use personal and anonymous information to create a third type of information, aggregate information. Aggregate information means information about groups or categories of individuals, which does not identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual. We collect the following categories of information:
Registration information you may provide when you create an account, including your first name and surname, country of residence, gender, date of birth, email address, username and password;
Transaction information you may provide when you request information or purchase a product or service from us, whether on our sites or through our applications, including your postal address, telephone number and payment information;
