📊1. What Personal Information Do We Collect?

Personal information is any information that is relatable to an identifiable person. The definition of personal information (used interchangeably in this Privacy Policy with the term "personal data") depends on where you are located.

We collect personal information from various places including online, and from third parties, such as when shopping on our Site or interacting with us on third-party platforms such as social media. We may obtain and combine personal information from different sources, types of technology, and devices.
