The Policy also may describe some of our practices for information that we collect or obtain that does not directly identify you. While this information is not personal information under this Policy, we may choose to treat it as personal information in our sole discretion. By accessing and/or using the Service you signify that you have read, understood and agree to the collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Policy.
