TYPES AND USES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION. Please note that this Privacy Notice does not apply to information obtained or disclosed through personal contacts or offline correspondence with third-parties and their affiliates or representatives. Furthermore, the Company website and application may contain advertisements and/or links to other entities’ websites that are not operated or controlled by the Company.

For each visitor to Company’s website or application, our web server automatically recognizes and collects the individual’s domain name, not their email address. The only information Company obtains about individual visitors to its website is that supplied voluntarily by visitors (e.g. name; company name; title; gender; date of birth; e-mail address; physical address; telephone number; credit card number; credit card verification code; credit card expiration date; username/password associated with Company website or application; and relationship history and online activities with Company and its affiliates). In cases when Company may need additional personal information to provide visitors with customized content, or to inform them about new features or services, visitors are explicitly asked for that information.
