Key Terms. Throughout this privacy policy we use several specialized terms.

The term "User Information" incorporates all of your Personally Identifiable Information and any other forms of information discussed in this privacy policy. We use the term "aggregate" when we combine information from various persons or users. Information is said to be "anonymized" if it does not identify individual persons or entities or associate a particular person or entity with such information.
