Information We Collect About You 

For the corporate sites listed above, we only collect information that identifies you when you choose to give it to us, for example, if you contact us with questions or comments.

We may also add data compiled from other sources to contact you if we think you or the company you represent would be interested in our products and services.

We collect standard web information about visits and system capabilities as you access and use the web pages covered by this policy.  We do not associate this data with you to identify you in the routine course of business.

Website Usage and Cookies

What are cookies? A cookie is a small file of information which is placed on your browser. That cookie then communicates with servers, ours or those of other companies that we authorize to collect data for us, and allows recognition of your personal computer or other device you are using to access our apps or websites.

How do we use cookies on our corporate sites? We allow a third party to set analytics, or performance cookies to collect and report aggregate information.  These cookies provide reporting to us on an aggregate basis. 

How you can control cookies.  Most modern browsers offer you ways to control or block cookies.  These browser controls will usually be found in the “options” or “preferences” menu in your toolbar.  The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to stop or manage cookies.  More information is available here, www.allaboutcookies.org.

How We Use Information About You

How we use information about you depends upon the capacity in which you visit our sites. For example, if you simply visit our pages for news and do not register, we will not know who you are and will not collect information that identifies you.   If you share content on our sites with your social network, some public information from that network may be included in our reports to the client that created that content. 

We may use the information that we collect about you from our corporate sites in any of the following ways:

  • To provide information you request.
  • To evaluate and improve our websites and services.
  • To let you know about offerings, from us or from third parties, that may be of interest to you.
  • To provide information and reports regarding website activity to customers.
  • For any other purpose we tell you about when you submit information to us.

You may choose not to receive marketing emails from us by following the directions at the bottom of the marketing emails we send you.  
We value the accuracy of the information we have about you. You may update or correct the information you submitted to us at any time by

Disclosure to Third Parties

We reserve the right to disclose your name and information about you

  • to investigate potential unauthorized access or misuse of our services,
  • to protect our assets or rights,

You remain responsible for protecting your user name and passwords and for the security of information in transit to us over the Internet.
