What personal information do we collect?
The personal information we collect about you depends on the nature of your dealings with us or what you choose to share with us.

You do not have to provide us with your personal information. Where possible, we will give you the option to interact with us anonymously or by using a pseudonym. However, if you choose to deal with us in this way or choose not to provide us with your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our services or otherwise interact with you at certain times.
