In the course of operating SingSnap services, we may collect two types of information about our users and customers: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
"Personal Information" is personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, email address, birth date, gender, and credit card information. Personal Information is collected by us when you choose to provide it to us when registering for, or ordering a SingSnap service, such as when you choose to subscribe to a SingSnap service or newsletter, complete a SingSnap survey, or enter a SingSnap promotion. In addition, if you choose to contact a customer service representative of ours or provide us with feedback, we may keep a record of that correspondence so that we may fully address the subject matter. We may also receive Personal Information from our business partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm to us that you have permitted them to share such information. Business contact information such as name, title, business address, email address or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is not considered Personal Information.
"Non-Personal Information" is information that is not linked to a specific person. This includes technical information such as your Internet Protocol Address, the domain you may have used to access a SingSnap service, the type and version of browser or operating system you may be using, and the website you may have come from and visit next. Aggregate information, such as the demographic statistics of our users and customers (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors and average time spent on a SingSnap service, is also considered Non-Personal Information. Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating a SingSnap service. For example, our web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information that is provided through your browser or stored on a Cookie or through a Web Beacon when you choose to visit a SingSnap service.

Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating SingSnap services.
