Types of personal data we collect and process

We collect certain personal data from you when you use our site and/or sign up to our Service that can be used to identify you, such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, and any other (non-sensitive) personal data that we deem necessary for the purpose of providing you with our Service or which you provide to us voluntarily.

Sensitive data are special types of personal data, for example concerning physical health, racial or ethnic data. We will process sensitive data only if so required by law, with your consent or at your request. If you decide to disclose such data yourself we will only process them if that is necessary for the service.

If we would wish to use your personal data for a purpose other than that for which they were originally processed, we may only do so if the two purposes are closely related. In performing the service we may outsource the processing of certain functions and/or information to third parties.

Please note that whenever we engage with third parties or provide your personal data to third party service providers required for the performance of the service, we oblige such third party to protect your personal data with appropriate security measures and prohibit this third party from using your personal data for own purposes or from disclosing your personal data to others, other than on a need to know basis only. Your personal data will not be sold or hired out for commercial purposes.
