Our Service is not intended for children. No one under age 18 is permitted to provide any information to or on our Service. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children.
If you are under 18, do not use or provide any information on our Service. Do not, through any of its features, register on our Service, use any of the interactive features of our Service, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or username you may use.

Information We Collect & How We Collect It
We collect two basic types of information:
- Information that identifies (whether directly or indirectly) a particular individual, such as your first and last name, email address, and password (“Personal Information”); and
- Information that does not, on its own, identify an individual, such as your age and date of birth (“Anonymous Information”). However, when Anonymous Information is directly or indirectly, or can reasonably be, associated with Personal Information, the resulting information is also treated as Personal Information.
We may use Personal Information and Anonymous Information to create a third type of information: information about groups or categories of individuals, which does not identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual (“Aggregate Information”).
We collect this information from and about you:
- When you directly provide it to us, such as when you fill in forms on the Service, create an account, upload data, or contact us directly.
- Automatically from you when you use our Service, such as your usage details, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, and information collected through cookies and other analytic tracking technologies (see Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies)
