2. What do we mean by “personal information”?
Personal information is information that relates to a natural person or allows for the identification of a natural person. Some information may not be personal on its own, but may become personal information if associated with personal information or if the sum of the information allows us to identify you.
The definition of what constitutes personal information is subject to the laws applicable in your jurisdiction, and this Policy shall be interpreted in accordance with applicable laws.
For the purposes of this Policy, we define personal information as any information which relates to a natural person and allows that person to be identified. For example, this means that we consider electronic identifiers, such as e-mails and passwords, as personal information. You should know that some laws do not include business contact information (ex. name, title, work email, etc.) and other employees' personal information in the legal definition of personal information. However, to be transparent with our Users, we included such personal information in our own definition of personal information.

However, it is important to understand that we cannot guarantee the security of personal information on the Internet and that you must also take precautions, such as not sharing your credentials with anyone. No method of information transmission or information storage is 100% secure or error-free, so we unfortunately cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you are concerned that your account credentials are compromised), please contact us immediately using the contact information at the beginning of this Policy. If we learn of a security breach involving your personal information, we will inform you and the relevant authorities of the occurrence of the breach as required under applicable law.
