Our Commitment To Your Privacy

Your privacy is important to us, and maintaining your trust and confidence is one of our highest priorities. We respect your right to keep your personal information confidential and understand your desire to avoid unwanted solicitations. We take all efforts to keep your information confidential, privileged, and secure.

The Information We Collect

We collect certain personal information about you or your organization, but only when that information is provided by you or is obtained by us with your authorization, or with your organization’s authorization. We also reserve the right to collect user-provided information, cookies information, and automatically collected information per the Services or communications. We utilize this information to improve the quality of our services, for data analysis, and for communication purposes.

The information we obtain is only used to contact you in case of an emergency, if such contact is warranted, or for the purpose of conducting business and providing Services. Otherwise, this information is kept confidential and is not disclosed or sold to a third party.

Cookies And Other Tracking Technologies

We gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. In addition, when you use our Services, we may collect certain information automatically from your device. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, date/time stamp, clickstream data, landing page, and referring URL. To collect this information, a cookie, or other tracking technology, may be set on your computer or device when you visit our Services. Cookies contain a small amount of information that allows our web servers to recognize you. We store information that we collect through cookies, other tracking technologies, log files to record your preferences, analyze usage trends, and to improve our Services. We may also automatically collect information about your use of features of our Services, about the functionality of our Services, frequency of visits, and other information related to your interactions with the Services. In some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the information referenced above in this paragraph may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws.

Personally Identifiable Information

We will not rent or sell your personally identifiable information to others. Any personally identifiable information you elect to make publicly available on our Services, such as our social media pages, will be available to others. If you remove information that you have made public, copies may remain viewable in cached or archived pages, or if other users have copied or archived that information.

We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

Disclosure of Nonpublic Information

Our policy is never to disclose nonpublic information about you. Nonpublic personal information is defined as any information that we acquire by using information you have provided us in connection with any Services we perform, which is not public information. Information acquired is disclosed only under the following conditions:

  • Employees of the Company: Employees who need such information to conduct a Service for which you have engaged the company.
  • Service Providers: As with any business, we have our own accounting, insurance, and other service firms to whom we may need to provide information that is considered nonpublic personal information.
  • Others: Other than as state above, we do not disclose nonpublic personal information, or any other information, to any outside party without your specific authorization.
  • To comply with a validly issued and enforceable subpoena or summons.
  • In the course of a review of our company’s practices under the authorization of a state or national licensing or certification board, or as necessary to properly respond to an inquiry or complaint from such a licensing board or organization.
  • In conjunction with a prospective purchase, sale, or merger of all or part of our business, provided that we take appropriate precautions (for example, through a written confidentiality agreement) so the prospective purchaser or merger partner does not disclose information obtained in the course of the review.
  • As a part of any actual or threatened legal proceedings or alternative dispute resolution proceedings either initiated by or against us, provided we disclose only the information necessary to file, pursue, or defend against the lawsuit and take reasonable precautions to ensure that the information disclosed does not become a matter of public record.
  • To provide information to affiliates of the company and nonaffiliated third parties who perform services or functions for us in conjunction with our Services to you, but only if we have a contractual agreement with the other party, which prohibits them from disclosing or using the information other than for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
