Information collected online is often defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable:

1. Anonymous Information
   Refers to information that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For instance, we may know that ten thousand people visit this Website today, but we do not necessarily know their names, where they live or their date of birth - they are "anonymous" to us, but don't necessarily know who those people are. Many of the individuals who access our services use none of the personalization features which are available to them and are therefore anonymous to us.
   
   
2. Personally Identifiable Information
   Refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are such as your name, email address, or postal address. With this information, Melsa-i-net Bulletin can provide a variety of personalized and enhanced services that are not available to anonymous users. We hope that you will find it beneficial to provide individually identifiable information about yourself to us.
   The choice of how much of your personally identifiable information that you choose to disclose to Melsa-i-net Bulletin is left completely up to you.
