In some instances the Site may ask you to provide information that could reasonably be used to contact you or to identify you personally (such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or home address (“Personal Information”). For example, the Company may collect Personal Information if you register on the Site, request information, submit your resume, submit comments or participate in some promotion, survey or other feature of the Site, or otherwise communicate or interact with us. The Site may also ask you to provide other information about yourself, such as demographic information (gender, zip code, age, etc.) or certain information about your preferences and interests.
