We may collect personal or sensitive personal information provided to us voluntarily when you connect with us by any means (whether physical or digitally) through registrations, surveys, website usage, or in any other form where you may be in contact with our organization. We may also use software tools or other forms of data collection technology to automatically collect information which can be retrieved from publicly disclosed internet data.
USE AND SHARING
Personal or Sensitive Personal Information that we collect shall be used for legitimate purposes only and to the extent provided by the law.
