We’d like to inform you that it is possible, from this information, to learn the user’s service provider and geographic location of the connection, alongside other statistical data. Said information is still not Personally-Identifying. Non-Personally-Identifying Information collected from our users can be analyzed in studies to understand patterns and trends of our usage. Data findings and reports maybe be published. This is done to improve our services as well as the user’s experience.
