Non-personal data (NPD) is information that is in no way personally
identifiable.
Personal data (PD) means any information relating to an identified or
identifiable natural person (data subject); an identifiable natural person is
one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an
identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online
identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological,
genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
PD is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
However, PD is broader in scope and covers more data.
A visitor is someone who merely browses our website. A member is someone who
has registered with us to use or buy our services and products. The term user
is a collective identifier that refers to either a visitor or a member.

Transferring PD From the European Union
(PD) that we collect from you may be stored, processed, and transferred between

transferred outside the European Union to the United States and or other
countries. We will use your PD to provide the goods, services, and/or
information you request from us to conduct a contract with you or to satisfy a
legitimate interest of our company in a manner that does not outweigh your
freedoms and rights. Wherever we transfer, process, or store your PD, we will

the privacy notice in effect when the information was collected. In all cases,
your continued use of our website, services, and products after any change to
this privacy notice will be your acceptance of such change.
