WHAT IS “PERSONAL INFORMATION”?

Personal information does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect about the use of the Site or categories of users, from which any personal information has been removed. For example, information that forty-seven percent of the registered users identify themselves as male, is aggregate information.

This policy in no way limits or restricts our collection of aggregate information.
