Deidentified Information:  We may collect Deidentified Information when you use and navigate the Services.  “Deidentified Information” is information that cannot reasonably identify, relate to, describe, be capable of being associated with, or be linked, directly or indirectly, to a particular individual.  Deidentified Information may include, without limitation, information regarding your device, the type of internet browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using to access the Services, or the internet service provider utilized.  We will take reasonable measures to ensure that Deidentified Information we collect is not personally identifiable and may not later be easily used to identify you as otherwise required by applicable law.

Aggregate Information:  We may collect “Aggregate Information” which means information that relates to a group or category of individuals, from which an individual’s identity has been removed, that is not linked or reasonably linkable to any individual, including via a device.
