Examples of Personal Data are a name, an online identifier, a contact address, social media reviews and ratings, and precise Location Data.

Some examples could include age, annual income, gender, browser, IP addresses, hardware model, operating system and version, time spent using our Services, web pages visited, and advertising identifiers (such as the Apple Identifier for Advertising (IDFA) and Google Advertising ID (AAID)).
We collect your Personal Data and Non-Personal Information as follows:

If you register for a THE BRAIN BLISS account, install or use our mobile apps, or place an order, we collect directly or indirectly (such as through a third party application) certain registration and demographic details (e.g., name, username and password, email address, phone number, date of birth, personal interests and location (e.g., country) and other similar details ("Account Information")).
2. When interacting with our Services, data is automatically collected by the technology platforms providing the experiences, including without limitation information about the Sites that you visit and how you use them and any GPS-based, Wi-Fi-based, or cell-based location information ("Location Information"), and any other identifier that permits direct identifying, locating, or contacting of the device or user.

Retargeting technologies analyze the information collected about your interactions with THE BRAIN BLISS Sites as described in relation to marketing above and information about you, obtained from reputable third party sources, including your cookies, and display advertisements matched to your interests, as inferred from your online activities. Ads may also be based on the content of the pages on which they appear and Location Data may be used to serve ads that are more relevant to you based on your particular location.
