1. Data and Information We Collect
When you use the Site, we collect and/or process the following types of data:
a. Personal Data
“Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier. We collect Personal Data that you provide to us when you make a purchase; create an appointment; subscribe to one of our newsletters; contact us via phone, email, postal mail, or other means; chat with us on our Site; or respond to our communications to you (e.g., surveys, requests for feedback).

We may also collect demographic information such as gender, nationality, ethnic origin, interests or preferences, business or company information, professional experience, educational background, professional or personal reference contact information, or social media URLs. In the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Personal Data includes an identification number, location information, and/or an online identifier.
If we combine or associate information from other sources with Personal Data that we collect through the Site, we will treat the combined information as Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
