Notwithstanding that your telephone number may be listed on the Federal Trade Commission’s Do-Not-Call List, we reserve the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule.

We do not have business associates under the age of 18 and therefore we will never knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of 13. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected personal information about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from our database.

How We Share Information:

We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations and individuals, except as follows:

• Vendors and Service Providers. We disclose your personal information to third party service providers and vendors in order to effect or carry out any transaction that you have requested from us or as necessary to complete our contractual obligations with you. This includes service providers, accountants, counsel, lookup and reference services, data enhancement vendors, suppression and validation services.
• Legal reasons. We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of our company if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:
  • meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request;
  • detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or
  • protect against harm to the rights, reputation, property or safety of ours, our clients, our consumers or the public as required or permitted by law.
• In connection with a merger or sale. If we enter into discussions to sell, merge or otherwise reorganize our business, we reserve the right to transfer and disclose all data (including personal and anonymous user information) to prospective and/or actual purchasers or investors. We will require that such purchasers/investors treat the transferred data as described in this Privacy Notice that exists prior to the change unless and until you consent to their Privacy Policy.

How to Access and Updating Your Personal or Corporate Information:

• You are required to keep your personal and corporate information updated and accurate. As such, we allow you to update it quickly. We maintain this information for business and legal purposes as long as we reasonably believe it is necessary. When updating your personal information, we will ask you to verify your identity before we act on your request.
• We reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems).
• We can provide assistance to information access and correction upon request except where it would require a disproportionate effort. If you request to delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems to protect and secure the validity of earlier information.
• If you are a California resident you have the right to request information regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of your personal information with third parties. You are entitled to receive a copy of this information in a standardized format and the information will not be specific to you individually. Please contact us for these requests.

Information Security:

We have industry standard security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of personal information under our control. Although we take reasonable technological and personnel precautions to protect your data, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot and do not warrant that your information will be absolutely secure. Any transmission of data at or through our website is at your own risk.

Changes To Our Privacy Practices:

We reserve the right to change our Privacy Notice at any time without notice. However, these changes will not reduce your privacy on a retrospective basis. If we do reduce your privacy expectations, we will notify you of the change directly. All other changes will be post any Privacy Policy changes on this page.
