Some of this information is required and other information is optional ([more information about what specific Adobe websites and applications collect](https://www.adobe.com/privacy/applications.html)). For [student and teacher editions](https://www.adobe.com/education/eligibility-guide.html) of our applications, information regarding your eligibility is required. To help keep our databases current and to provide you the most relevant content and experiences, we may combine information from you with information from public sources and our trusted partners, in accordance with applicable law. For example, from these sources, we may learn the company size and industry of our business customers.
