We may also collect other types of information which are not directly or indirectly linked to an individual and which may not be defined as personal information according to applicable local laws. Such information may include statistical data generated when you use a specific service (e.g. user clicks, browsing behaviors, page access events). The purpose of such collecting is to improve the services we provide to you. The type and amount of information collected depend on how you use our services.

In its aggregated form, such data is not personal information as it cannot be used to identify you. However, if we combine non-personal information with personal information, such information will be treated as personal information.
