What is"Personally Identifiable Information"?
"Personally Identifiable Information" refers to any information that identifies
or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such
information pertains. This includes information that is used in a way that is
personally identifiable, including linking it with identifiable information
from other sources, or from which other personally identifiable information can
easily be derived, including, but not limited to, name, address, phone number,
fax number, email address, financial profiles, social security number, and
credit card information. To the extent unique information (which by itself is
not Personally Identifiable Information) such as a personal profile, unique
identifier, biometric information, and IP address is associated with Personally
Identifiable Information, then such unique information is also considered
Personally Identifiable Information. Personally Identifiable Information does
not include information that is collected anonymously (i.e., without
identification of the individual user) or demographic information not connected
to an identified individual.
"Third Party Personally Identifiable Information" ("TPPII") includes Personally
Identifiable Information collected through the Site from a person other than
the person to whom it pertains or whom it identifies.
