How We Collect Your Personal Information
The personal information we collect is obtained directly from you — either online, by phone, or in person. We also collect personal information automatically through your use of our Website as well as through our third-party service providers.
Information Collected through Automated Means:
To make our Website and services more useful to you, we may use automated technology such as cookies and other tracking software to collect personal information from your computer system or mobile device. We may collect the following information:
