Information That We Collect:

"Personal Information" is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, zip code, credit card number, personally identifiable information and any other information provided by or for you. "Non-Personal Information" is information that does not identify you, and may include, for example, statistical information concerning the web pages on our Site that users most frequent. Our Privacy Policy governs both categories of information.
