This information may be provided by inputting the information on your own through the Platform or by allowing the Platform to receive information directly from another account on a third-party network (e.g. Facebook or Google). By integrating your account with an account from a third-party network, you allow us to pass information between the providers and receive from the providers your account information and user data.
The information we collect from you or the authorized third-party includes your phone number, email address, gender, date of birth, and/or your username from a third-party account (since such information identifies you personally, we refer to it collectively as “Personal Information”).

Furthermore, your User Contributions may be used by the Platform to imply demographic information and the Platform may use such User Contributions to prompt questions targeting that demographic.
