You acknowledge that some of the information we collect throughout the registration and initiation process may be personal to you, and that by creating an Account (including without limitation logging in using third party credentials) and providing Personal Information to us, you allow others, including us, to identify you and therefore may not be anonymous.

We may also use your contact information to send you information about our Services or assist you with your Account, such as when you need to recover your password.
We may also collect additional information from you in connection with different features you use through the Services, for example, if you use our E-commerce services to purchase a product, we may collect your billing address, email address, telephone number, and/or shipping address for purposes such as processing, fulfilling, and shipping your order, and/or assisting parties that provide our E-commerce services in doing the same.

We seek to protect Account information to ensure that it is kept private; for example, we protect the security of transmitted information by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software to encrypt information. Although we use this and other industry standard security techniques, we cannot guarantee the security of any Account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.
