We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site and your user experience (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns). We might link the Device Information with the Customer Information in order to pursue these purposes.

How do we collect your Personal Information?

We collect your personal information in a number of ways, including:

If we collect personal information about you from a third party we will, where appropriate, request that the third party inform you that we are holding such information, how we will use and disclose it, and that you may contact us to gain access to and correct and update the information.

If you provide personal information about another person to us, we require that you:

• inform that person you have done so and provide them with a copy of this policy; and
