Together with our Terms of Use, it governs your use of the Service.

1. Which Information We Collect?

We may collect two types of data and information from our Users:

• • Non-identifiable and anonymous information (“Non-personal Information”). We are not aware of the identity of the User from whom we have collected the Non-personal Information. Non-Personal Information is any unconcealed information which does not enable identification of an individual User, and which is available to us while such User is entering into and/or using the Site. Non-personal Information which is being gathered consists of technical information, behavioral information and aggregated information, and may contain, among other things, the activity of the User on the Site, type of operating system, User’s ‘click-stream’ or searches on the Site, type and version of browser, keyboard language, screen resolution, etc.
  • Personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). This information may identify an individual or may be of a private and/or sensitive nature.
    Users of the Site automatically provide their IP address mainly for enhancing the User’s experience and for geo-location and security purposes as further detailed below.
    When opening an Account, you may be required to provide the following details: full name, e-mail address and a password. Once your contact details received by us, our representative will contact you to complete the registration process.  Our representative may collect additional information from you.
    In addition, Personal Information which is being gathered consists of any personal details provided consciously and voluntarily by the User (e.g. in the contact or payment-details forms on the Site) or during the business cooperation.

For avoidance of doubt, any Non-Personal Information connected or linked to any Personal Information shall be deemed as Personal Information as long as such connection or linkage exists. We do not collect any Personal Information from you or related to you without your approval, which is obtained, inter alia, through your active acceptance to the TOU and the Privacy Policy.
