This Policy does not apply to PII collected by:
· us offline or through any other means, including on any other website operated by us or any third party; or
· any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible via the Service.
By visiting, accessing, registering with or in any other way using the Service, you agree to our collection and use of your PII as explained in this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time, and your continued use of the Service after any changes we may make to the Policy will be deemed to be your acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates. Your continued use of the Service after any modification means that you acknowledge the change and agree to the practices that we disclose in the Policy.
