You should ensure that all Personal Data submitted to us is complete, accurate, true and correct. Failure on your part to do so may result in our inability to offer you access to, and use of, the Infrastructure.
Information we collect from you automatically. To the extent permitted by Data Protection Laws, we may collect certain types of information automatically, such as whenever you interact with the Infrastructure (the "Automatically Collected Information"). This Automatically Collected Information helps us address customer support issues, improve the performance of our Infrastructure, provide you with a streamlined and personalized experience, and protect your account from fraud by detecting unauthorized access. We may use a variety of technologies to collect the Automatically Collected Information, including, without limitation:
i. Cookies. A cookie is a small data file stored on the hard drive of your computer either for only the duration of your visit on the Website or for a fixed period (for more information, please, see Section 7 below);
ii. Web Beacons. Web beacons are small files that are embedded in the Website and emails. Web beacons allow us, for example, to track who has visited the Website or opened an email, to test the effectiveness of our marketing, and for other related Website statistics;
iii. JavaScripts. JavaScripts are code snippets embedded in various parts of Website that facilitate a variety of operations including accelerating the refresh speed of certain functionality or monitoring usage of various online components;
iv. Entity Tags. Entity Tags are HTTP code mechanisms that allow portions of Website to be stored or "cached" within your browser and validates these caches when the Website is opened, accelerating Website performance since the web server does not need to send a full response if the content has not changed;
v. HTML5 Local Storage. HTML5 local storage allows data from Website to be stored or "cached" within your browser to store and retrieve data in HTML5 pages when the Website is revisited; and
vi. Resettable Device Identifiers. Resettable device identifiers (also known as "advertising identifiers") are similar to cookies and are found on many mobile devices and tablets (for example, the "Identifier for Advertisers" or "IDFA" on Apple iOS devices and the "Google Advertising ID" on Android devices), and certain streaming media devices. Like cookies, resettable device identifiers are used to make online advertising more relevant.
The Automatically Collected Information may include, but is not limited to:
i. information about how you access and use the Infrastructure;
ii. device type and unique device identification numbers;
iii. device event information (such as crashes, system activity and hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL);

v. broad geographic location (e.g. country or city-level location).
