The only personal information that we collect is what you decide to give us by signing up, sending us an email, and subscribing to our email subscription services. If you choose to provide us with personal information — like filling out a Contact Us form and submitting it to us through the website — we use that information to respond to your message, and to help get you the information you requested. Similarly, when you sign up for an account with us; we will collect your name, email address, alternate email, birthdate, gender, address, occupation, and mobile number.
