What is your personal information?

When used in this Privacy Policy, the term “personal information” has the meaning

What this policy covers. 

This policy covers our treatment of information that we obtain when you visit our website. In addition we may provide links to other services and on occasion links to other sites that may interest you. These sites are owned independently of us and you should review their privacy policies before submitting personal information to them.

Information we gather. 

We collect personal information about you so that we can perform our business activities and functions and to provide the best possible quality of service.

We collect your personal information directly from you. When collecting personal information from you, we may collect in ways including:
