The information we collect
Below are the different types of information we may collect.

Individually identifiable information, that is, information that identifies you or can, with reasonable effort, identify you ("Personal Information"). The Personal Information we collect through our Services includes name, email address, address, telephone number, IP address or other information requested whenever necessary.
