Most of the hits that I got for that took me to similar user agreements/tech related things. This means that the company will use your demographic information (age, sex, race, etc) to help improve their products and to market it better, but nothing that identifies you as you. In other words nothing that says XiaoRan for example uses this product.

probable explanation


Explanation:
I think the point that is being made here is that "other information" that you give relating to your buying habits, political party, or personal preferences for travel, etc. will be used anonymously even though they do retain personal info on you - the two will never be linked.
