In addition, when you use the Services, we may automatically collect certain data about how you access and interact with our Services which may, when combined with other information about you, constitute Personal Data. Automated technologies, such as our use of ‘cookies’, web beacons and similar technologies help us achieve our goal of providing you with the best possible service. When you access our Services, our servers will record, or track information sent from the browsers. This can include the following information (without limitation): attributes of the equipment or device you are using, such as the operating system, hardware version, device settings, software and device identifiers; device locations, including specific geographic locations identified through GPS signals or other means; connection information such as the name of your mobile operator, ISP or other service provider, browser type and IP address; the website from which you have reached the Services; the Website pages viewed; details of the products and services on the Services that you look at, information, tools and content available on our Services that you use; time spent on the Services; links from our Services that you click on; your transactions on our Services and details of any payments made by you (including bank account and credit card details and any other account identification information); and information related to any of the above.
