‍Piana Technology collects both “Non-Personally-Identifying Information” and “Personally-Identifying Information” from users of our website. “Non-Personally-Identifying Information” refers to information that cannot be directly associated with a specific person without additional information, such as a name or email address. This may include the User’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type, and the websites viewed before, during, and after using our website. Although this information is not Personally-Identifying, we may use it to determine a User’s Internet service provider, geographic location, and other statistical usage data. We analyze Non-Personally-Identifying Information to better understand how our website is being used and to identify patterns and trends in usage. This information helps us improve the content and ease of use of our website. We may also release Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from Users in the aggregate, such as publishing a report on trends in website usage.

At Piana Technology, we also understand Personally-Identifying Information as being any data that directly identifies an individual. As part of our relationship with Website Users, we may collect various Personally-Identifying Information from them. Most of the Personally-Identifying Information we gather is provided by Users themselves, whether during account registration (for a User or customer), product or service purchase, or other forms of communication with us. This information typically includes the User’s name, address, email, and phone number, as well as financial information (such as a credit card number, type, and expiration date) for transactions. Additionally, we may request Users’ interests and activities, gender, age, date of birth, username, hometown, and other demographic or relevant details, as deemed necessary by Piana Technology. While Users are not required to give us any Personally-Identifying Information, please note that certain Website features may not be available to them if they choose not to provide such data.
