3. How we collect your personal information

(a).  We may collect personal information from you whenever you input such information into the Splink Network.

(b). We also collect cookies from your computer which enable us to tell when you use the Splink Network and also to help customize your website experience. As a general rule, however, it is not possible to identify you personally from our use of cookies.

(c). By using our Splink Network, you consent to the receipt of direct marketing material. We will only use your personal information for this purpose if we have collected such information direct from you, and if it is material of a type which you would reasonably expect to receive from us. We do not use sensitive personal information in direct marketing activity. Our direct marketing material will include a simple means by which you can request not to receive further communications of this nature.

(d)  Research and Development. We may use personal information collected in connection with the Splink Network for research and development purposes, including to improve the Splink Network, understand and analyze the usage trends and preferences of our users, study the performance of our Platform and troubleshoot any issues, and develop new features, functionality, and services. As part of these activities, we create aggregated, de-identified, or other anonymous data from the personal information we collect. We make personal information into anonymous data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymous data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze and improve the Splink Network. Splink collaborates with academic researchers to advance knowledge on women's health and performance. Splink may disclose such anonymous, de-identified or aggregated data publicly and to third parties, for example, in reports related to women's health and performance research.

5. Access and correction
