Usage data is primarily non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers, servers, and services like Google Analytics typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the time of each visit. Other information that we might have access to includes how you use the Service (e.g., search queries), your approximate location, etc.

Usage data may include:

Data that we collect mainly for behavior statistics, business intelligence, and email campaigns (“analytics data”). We gather the Service traffic data with the help of Google Analytics. Data that we collect mainly for technical, security, and/or fraud prevention reasons or for tracking errors (“technical data”).

Our system may also randomly take screenshots of your communications with other Users. The communication data may be processed to communicate with you, record-keeping, review, and resolve disputes, prevent illegal and objectionable behavior, serve our customers better, and improve our Service.

Information You Choose to Display Publicly via Our Service

3.1. Some Users may elect to publicly post personally identifying or sensitive information about themselves in their normal use of our Service.

Information like that, which is voluntarily posted in publicly visible parts of our Service, is considered to be public, even if it would otherwise be considered personally identifying or sensitive. Voluntarily publicizing such information means that you lose any privacy rights you might normally have about that information.
