We also collect information from your computer, telephone, tablet, or other device that you use to access our services, including the IP address, browser you use and your language settings. In some situations we also receive information about you from others or we automatically collect other information.

1.2 Personal data that we obtain from other sources
We receive not only information through you, but also from business partners. All information we receive from them can be combined with information provided by you.
