DATA WE COLLECT
-
- Information You Provide to Us. We collect information provided to us by our customers, potential customers, collaborators, business contacts and other interested parties, for example when someone fills out a request for information on our website or otherwise communicates with us. This information most often includes basic contact information, such as name, business contact information, telephone number, email and/or address, affiliation information, and information about the nature of your interest in us. We also may receive additional information from you in the course of further interactions between you and us, some of which could include personally identifying information. In almost all circumstances, what information we have about you is based on what you choose to provide to us and your voluntary decision to provide certain information to us constitutes your consent to allow us to receive, maintain, use and/or transmit your information pursuant to this Privacy Policy.

- Other Information. We may collect or obtain other incidental personal information related to interactions with our business contacts or the general public. Most of this information will be as supplied by you, or by someone who believes you and we should be in communication. This will generally include the same types of personal information as above.

- If We Don’t Need it, We Don’t Want it.
a) No Information from Children Under Age 18. We do not receive or maintain personal information of individuals under the age of 18 and they are not permitted to provide any personal information to us. If we learn that we have personal information from an individual under the age of 18, we will promptly delete it. If you believe we have collected personal information from an individual under the age of 18, please contact us using the information at the bottom of this policy.
b) No Sensitive Information. We have no need for, and do not receive, maintain or use, sensitive personal information of individuals, such as social security numbers; driver’s license numbers; health or genetic information; credit card information; information on age, race, disability or religion, etc. Please do not provide sensitive information to us.

- Analytics Data. We may use third-party analytic tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends of our website. These tools collect information sent by users’ devices or via our website, including the web pages visited or utilized, add-ons, and other information that assists us in improving our website. Any use of your information for analytics purposes will be combined with analytics information from others so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual user.
WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
We collect information only as either provided to us by you or as provided to us by others for the legitimate operation of our business, including to provide products and services. For all personal information we receive, we either obtain the subject’s consent (such as by your consent by voluntarily providing information to us as set forth above) or we have another legal basis to receive, maintain, use and/or transmit the information, most commonly that we understand in good faith that you have an interest in what we do. If at any point we determine or you notify us that you are not interested in us or you do not want us to contact you, we will cease contacting you and we will honor your request to limit or delete your personal information.
HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
We collect information from individuals in order to further discussions about possible relationships between you and us, such as your interest in our products and services and to conduct business with you or your company. We also may use your personal information to send you information we think you would be interested in, which may include group communications or newsletters. You may request to be removed from our distribution lists at any time.
We may provide personal information to third parties if necessary, to assist us in pursuing those purposes. We do not sell personal information and we do not use it for other purposes without your consent or a legitimate business purpose. We also may provide personal information as required by law or to allow us to enforce our rights under the law.
HOW WE STORE AND PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We use reasonable physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information in our possession. This includes use, where appropriate, of concepts such as encryption, limited access, password protections and internal policies and procedures. However, since the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot guarantee, ensure, or warrant the security of personal information. There is no guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. Emails and other communications sent to us through our website are not encrypted, and we strongly advise against communicating any confidential information through these means.
YOU CONTROL YOUR INFORMATION
By providing us with your contact information, you are authorizing us to contact you regarding our business, products and updates and to use your information for other lawful purposes. You may at any time opt out of receiving these communications by contacting us using the information below.

HOW LONG DO WE STORE INFORMATION
We only store personal information as long as we have a legitimate business need for it.

We reserve the right to delete some or all of your personal information in our possession at any time without notice.
