All information that you disclose to us will be considered Personally Identifiable Information. We consider your Personally Identifiable Information to be protected by your copyright, and we consider your Personally Identifiable Information to be your secret, to be protected by intellectual property laws that protect copyright and trade secrecy, whether or not you have taken steps to claim copyright and trade secrecy protection.
