Our firm and its affiliated companies worldwide are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information you share with us. We have established this Online Privacy Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information.
Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit company web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.
We strive to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, we intend to adhere to the principles set forth in this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above, we transfer your Personal Information from your country to countries that may not require an adequate level of protection for your Personal Information.
In other words, our goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.
Some of our web pages utilize cookies and other tracking technologies. A cookie is a small text file that may be used, for example, to collect information about website activity. Some cookies and other technologies may serve to recall Personal Information previously indicated by a web user. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them.
You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the website as well as break the tracking to affiliate commissions.
To protect your privacy, we have adopted the following principles:
- Where we collect Personal Information on the web, we intend to post a purpose statement that explains why Personal Information will be collected and whether we plan to share such Personal Information outside of our company, or those working on our behalf. We do not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on our behalf unless such transfer is legally required.
- You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to our firm. The notice we intend to provide where we collect Personal Information on the web should help you to make this choice. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request, you can still visit most of our websites, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction with you.
- Wherever your Personal Information may be held within our firm or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Your use of the website and the services provided therein and thereby is governed by the terms of these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. It is your responsibility to review the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference, and we suggest that you review the Privacy Policy and print a copy for yourself.
The Privacy Policy is posted on the website and may be updated from time to time.
Unfortunately, we cannot ensure that disclosure of your personal information will not occur in ways not described in the Privacy Policy. We may be required by law to disclose information to government authorities, law enforcement agencies or third parties upon subpoena, and you authorize us to disclose information as we believe, in our sole discretion, is necessary or appropriate.
