1 | Types of Information We Collect
Quip may collect two types of information from users of our Sites and Services: “Personal Information” which is information that you provide that can be used to identify you (such as name or e-mail address, etc.) and “Aggregate Information” which is information that cannot be used to identify you (such as frequency of visits to the Site, browser type, etc.)

To stop the collection of any data, including Personal Information, from any quip provided Apps, please uninstall the App using your device provided procedures.
