Data Collection from Others

We could obtain personal information about you from others we do business with. We may merge or use that personal information with information we collected from you.

Web Browser Cookies

Our website may use “cookies,” seeking to enhance user experience. This may result in placing cookies on a user’s device, for record-keeping and sometimes to track information about them. A user may set their web browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

How We Use Collected Information

The Agency and others contracted to assist or work with us may collect and use a user’s personal information to:

  • Improve customer service. Information you provide helps us respond to your customer service requests and support needs more efficiently.

We may share data with service providers to help perform analyses for us, help us send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or help us service, maintain, or upgrade equipment, software, and/or services.

We may provide aggregated data or statistics to potential customers for our services.

Some Circumstances in Which We May Provide Information to Others

We will disclose your personal information, without notice to you, if we believe doing so is necessary or appropriate to comply with law or legal process or comply with an order or direction or voluntarily cooperate in a request from government or law enforcement or other person or entity; or to another person or entity whom we enter into discussions with concerning acquiring, merging with, or other transactions relating to our business; or to protect or defend our rights or property; or in other circumstances. If a government authority, police authority, or other person or entity asks us for information, we may choose to share it. We do not view this willingness as inconsistent with respecting your privacy, because our general policy is to limit disclosure. But if we think there is good reason, we may share the information requested.

Disclosure to Non-Affiliated Third Parties

We may share your personal information with advertisers and other companies not affiliated with us, but who would like to send you information about their products and services.
