We collect several types of information from and about users of our Websites, including information:

  • By which you may be personally identified, such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, and any other information which you submit voluntarily to us (“Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”).

How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals

We do not track our visitors over time and across third-party websites. As a result, we do not respond to Do Not Track signals.

HOW WE USE AND/OR DISCLOSE INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT

We do not sell visitors’ PII. We may use and/or disclose PII we collect about you as follows:

  • To present the Websites and their contents to you;
  • To provide you with information, products, and/or services that you request from us. For example, when you complete and submit the Contact Us form, we only use that information to respond to your inquiry.  By submitting this information to us, you consent to our use of the information to respond to your request.  If you complete and submit the Contact Us form for information about a particular service, we will use the information you submit to provide you with that information.
  • To fulfill any other purpose for which you provide PII.
  • To our contractors and/or vendors, but only for the reason(s) for which you submitted the information to our Websites. These contractors and/or vendors are bound by contractual obligations to keep PII confidential and only use it for the purpose for which we disclose it to them.
  • To carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
  • To enforce or apply our Website Terms of Use.
  • To comply with any court order, law, legal process, to respond to any government or regulatory request, and/or to protect or defend our interests or the interests of users of our Websites.
  • If we believe that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others.
  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some of all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which the information, if any, that we hold about the users of our Websites is among the assets transferred.
  • In any other way we may describe when you provide the information.
  • For any other purpose with your consent.

We may use the anonymized information we collect through cookies (e.g., anonymized web browser, operating systems, pages visited) to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION

We have implemented physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect the security of the PII that you submit to us through our Websites from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We will only retain PII for the length of time necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the PII was submitted or longer, if required by law.

The security of the information we collect about you also depends on you. For example you are responsible for keeping any passwords related to all of these Websites confidential. The transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your PII when it is being transmitted to the Websites. Any information which you transmit to the Websites is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy setting or security measures contained on the Websites.
