This personal information includes such things as:

First name or first and last names of the Member (depending on the options selected by the Member),
Gender, age, martial status and other, similar personal information, Occupation, Schools attended or companies with whom the Member is associated, Location (e.g., city and state), and Photos, videos or other shared content uploaded by the Member to his or her profile, to the extent that it includes personal information.
