In this Policy, “Provider,” "user," “your,” or "you" refers to any individual from whom we obtain Personal Information, whether by using the Services, submitting any request through the Services, creating any account with the Services, or participating in any other activities or engaging with us. As the manners in which we obtain Personal Information and our uses for Personal Information may change, we encourage you to return to and reread this Policy from time to time.
