Information We Collect And How We Use The Information
We may collect personally identifying information that you affirmatively provide to us, including, by way of example, your name, address, telephone number, and/or e-mail address..
From time to time, we may use this information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our products and services. When you voluntarily give us your personal contact information, we may use this information to contact you directly. If we contact you by e-mail, you can opt-out of receiving future e-mails from us at any time by following the instructions in the e-mail.
We may use this information to provide you with information or as otherwise disclosed to you on the registration Site when you submit your information to us, including, without limitation, receiving Business’ announcements, newsletters and information. In addition, your personally-identifying information may be shared with third parties, including (i) our affiliates; (ii) third-party vendors we hire to assist in the administration of the Site and/or the processing or handling of customer information (such vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality of user information and are prohibited from using it for any purpose other than as described in this Privacy Policy); (iii) as required by law, such as when compelled by subpoena or court order, (iv) to protect and defend the rights of Business and its employees, the Sites, or the users of the Sites, (v) as incident to a sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy, or similar event, (vi) under circumstances we believe reasonably necessary to protect the personal safety of users of Business products, this Site, or the public, (vii) to complete any transaction initiated by you on this Site or to provide services or information to you, or (viii) as is otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or to as and to the extent that you otherwise consent to in writing. The information you provide will be maintained for a commercially reasonable period of time by Business for administrative, liability, and archival purposes.
We may also disclose the aggregate statistical data that we collect to third parties in order to allow them to measure the effectiveness of our programs and advertisements.
Comments, e-mails, suggestions, or other communications sent by you to us are deemed to be non-confidential (except with regard to personally identifying information included therein), and we are free to use or distribute them in any way without compensation to the author, sender, or any other party, pursuant to the terms provided for “User Content” and “Feedback” under our Terms and Conditions.
We also may collect non-personally identifiable information about how you use this Site for, among other things, the operation and improvement of the Sites. Non-personally identifiable information is data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with you, and includes but is not limited to technical information about how you access the Site, including but not limited to browser information, operating system, unique device identifiers, IP address, referring site, visit metrics, action metrics, page view metrics, search metrics, and others. This information may be collected through technologies provided by third parties. Information that might be collected using these technologies includes, for example, the pages you visit on this Site, the paths you take within this Site, and the length of time that you spend on this Site. We use this information in the aggregate in order to better understand how to improve the quality of this Site.
As is common among Internet site operators, the operator of this Site maintains Web server logs. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address and collect that information in its Web server logs. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you log onto the World Wide Web or “surf” the Internet. The Business Web server logs collect statistical data that is generated by your computer when it visits this Site, such as the type of Web browser and operating system used to access the Site, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the date and time you access this Site, and the pages you visit. This Site uses this non-personally identifying Web server log information for a variety of purposes. Some of these purposes include: system administration; examination of overall traffic trends on this Site; troubleshooting; and the collection of broad demographic information about users of this Site. No personally identifiable information is contained in these Web server logs. The log files may be purged periodically, in our discretion, to maximize space on the server or for other business reasons.
Cookies
Like many websites, this Site also uses a technology called “cookies.” A cookie is a small text file that a Web server gives your browser to store on your computer when you access a website. Cookies are capable of storing many types of data and may be placed on your browser by Business. We may also use cookies to store preferences; record session information; develop information about Site visitors’ preferences and interests; record past activity at a Site in order to provide better service when you return to our Site; or customize Web page content based on information you voluntarily provide.
In all cases in which cookies are used, however, Business will not use the cookie to collect personally identifying information from this Site, unless you voluntarily agree to enter the information. Most Web browsers are set up to accept cookies. You can, however, reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Note, however, that some portions of this Site may not work properly if you refuse cookies.

Security of data stored by Business
Business has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of information under our control. While we make reasonable efforts to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third parties from illegally obtaining this information. You agree and acknowledge that Business shall not be liable or responsible if any information about you is intercepted, accessed, and/or used by an unintended recipient.
