Personally Identifiable Information

We define personally identifiable information (or "PII") as "information that can be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate a single person or can be used with other sources to uniquely identify a single individual." e. g. name, address, social security number, e-mail address etc. This is the common industry definition used by most Internet companies. Information that is collected by various Internet companies, but which does not qualify as PII is called "non-PII."

Certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information would be considered a part of your Personally Identifiable Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip or PIN code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. However, the same pieces of information are considered Non-Personally Identifiable Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other Non-Personally Identifiable Information (for example, your viewing preferences).

Information Collection and Use

Our primary goals in collecting Personally Identifiable information are to provide and improve your relationship with Oddbit, including communication features and capabilities, to administer your account, and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Site, Applications and Services.
