Personal Information

4.1 What type of information does Fame collect?

Fame collects two basic types of information from you in conjunction with your use of the Fame app (collectively, your “personal information”): (1) personally identifiable information; and (2) non-personally identifiable information.

Examples include your name, e-mail address, telephone number, postal address, device identifiers, IP addresses, and financial account information that you provide.

Aggregate and/or de-identified information is not considered personally identifiable information.

Non-personally identifiable information is information that does not identify you directly but may be linkable to you.

Examples include demographic information and general location information.
If non-personally identifiable information is directly linked to personally identifiable information, it will be considered personally identifiable information while it is linked. For example, if your payment history and transaction history are linked to your name, then that information will be considered personally identifiable information and subject to heightened privacy and security restrictions, as reflected in this Privacy Policy
