To simplify our registration and course login process, you will have the option to register or login and link to your account or course on our sites with a third-party social networking service, such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter. These services will authenticate your identity, will allow you to log into the Services using the single social login buttons, and will share certain personal information that you allow us to collect.

If you give us personal information, we may remove the identifiers and aggregate it, in which case it also becomes non-personal information.
