Privacy Policy

Information Collection

In a few areas on our Web site, we may ask you to provide information that will enable us to contact or follow up with you. From time to time we may ask questions, or we may use data collected to better understand how visitors are using our site.

We will request information from you when you:

In each of these instances, we may ask for any of the following types of information: name, e-mail address, phone number, full mailing address, client information, client ID and password, as well as other similar personal information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. If you don't want to receive promotional material or special offers from us, we ask that you tell us this. Please note that in the case of newsletters or mailing lists, you will be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time.

Aggregate information may be used to design programs and promotions that we think would be of interest to an identified group of customers.

If we decide to use information collected for any purposes other than those identified we will contact you for your agreement.
