2.0 WHAT DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVER?
This Privacy Policy covers our collection, use and disclosure of information about identifiable individuals and information which can be used to identify an individual (“Personal Information”).

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, including those practices of our Partners. You are responsible for ensuring that you have obtained the necessary authorizations and consents for any Personal Information you make available to us for use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
3.0 COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
