For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” is defined as information or an opinion relating to an individual which can be used to identify that individual. This Privacy Policy includes examples but is not intended to be restricted in its application to such examples. Accordingly, where the word ‘include’ or ‘including’ is used, it will mean ‘include/including without limitation’.
