If you do not provide information we reasonably require to us, we may not be able to provide our services to you.
Use of your information

We only collect personal information from you that we need to perform a service you have requested.
If you may use features on the Web site that require us to store your information, such as signing up. In that case we would need to store your email address and login information (username and password).
