When other information (such as consumer preferences, demographic information, or opinions about an identified individual or reasonably identifiable individual) is directly associated with Personal Information, we treat this other information as Personal Information. Information that is de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized will not be considered Personal Information. Publicly available information that is made available from federal, state, or local government records, also may not be Personal Information.

identification data (e.g., first name, last name, postal address, phone number, email address);
payment details or methods and transaction information (e.g., when you purchase work online);
location data (e.g., location data sent by your device, a top level domain name such as .com, .gov., .au, .ca);
connection data (e.g., IP address, connection speed, type of browser used and information communicated by your browser, mobile network information, data automatically communicated by your device);

demographic information (e.g. household information, number of children, age ranges, gender).
Please note that such data may either be directly collected from you (e.g., when you fill out a form at one of our Locations or on one of our Sites) or indirectly from you. In this latter case, the following sources enable us to obtain the Personal Information:
when technology implemented at our Locations provides us with information;
when we are provided information from other business partners;
In addition to the above, we may combine information you have provided to us on our Sites with information you have provided to us offline, including information you have provided to us at one of our Locations, and we may store this information together in your customer profile.
If you provide us with Personal Information of other persons, please provide their Personal Information to us only if you are allowed to do so pursuant to applicable data protection laws and only if the other person would agree to you providing Personal Information to us for the purposes the information is collected and processed according to our Privacy Policy.
