In order to better provide Users with services, Company collects two types of information about Users, Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.

Depending upon the activity, some of the information Company asks a User to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If a User does not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, such User will not be able to engage in that activity.
