In addition, Log Data may include information such as the Operating System running on your device, Internet Protocol address, access times, browser type and language, and the website you visited before visiting our Site.

Where we need to collect PII by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that information when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with more information about an event or validate your subscription or your participation in a promotion or sweepstake). In this case, we may have to cancel your registration or subscription, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
