Please review this privacy policy periodically as it may be updated. This policy was last revised March, 2017.
What Your Information Is
Your information is broadly defined as an identifiable individual. The information we collect from you (such as your web browsers cookies; defined below) often has its personal identifiers removed so that it is impossible to determine the identity of the person to whom the information relates. However, you may provide us with information that is more specific to you as an identifiable individual and retain some personal identifiers. You will find more information on this below.
