PRIVACY STATEMENT
Information Collection and Use
We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways
different from what is disclosed in this statement.
We collect information from our users at several
different points on our website.
Our website offers visitors the opportunity to
register for promotional and informational mailings.
These registration forms are often linked to mailing lists and
require users to give contact information, such as, but not restricted to,
name and email address. We use this contact information
to send users information about our company and its products and services
if requested or necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings
at any time.
Sharing and Usage
We will never share, sell, or rent your personal information
with third parties for their promotional use. Occasionally,
we enter into contracts with third parties to
assist us in servicing you (for example, by providing customer service).
The contracts prohibit them from using any of your personal
information for their own purposes, and they are required to
maintain the confidentiality of the information we provide to them.
We may also disclose information to partners who introduced you to
our services in order to ensure they are properly compensated for
their efforts. Lastly, we may disclose or report personal
information in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith
that disclosure is required under the law. For example, we may be
required to disclose personal information to cooperate with regulators
or law enforcement authorities, to comply with a legal process such
as court order, subpoena, search warrant, or law enforcement request.
