Disclosure of Personal Identifiable Information

We may disclose information to companies and individuals we employ to perform business functions and services on our behalf. Such functions may include, for example, hosting our web servers, analyzing data, providing legal, accounting and marketing services.

We may disclose information to the extent necessary or appropriate to government agencies, advisors, and other third parties in order to comply with applicable laws, the service of legal process, or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to comply with the law requiring such disclosure or to prevent a crime or protect national security.

Although we may disclose aggregated information about the use of our web site (such as the total number of visitors, user accounts, or page views in a given period), that information does not contain Personal Information. We do not disclose Personal Information to third parties, other than set out above, in the normal course of operations without your consent.

Because Non-Personal Information does not personally identify you, we may use such information for any purpose.

In some instances, we may combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information (such as combining your name with your geographical location). If we do combine any Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information hereunder as long as it is so combined.

Security

We have implemented and adhere to industry standard procedures to ensure the security and confidentiality of all Personal Information. However, no Internet site can fully eliminate security risks. In the event of a breach or suspected breach of our security measures, all affected users will be notified.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this policy at any time by sending the amended policy to the e-mail address provided in your Personal Information or by posting the amended policy on our web site.
