When you request a service or information, place an order, submit feedback or participate in a forum or survey, we may need to ask you for personal information such as your name, address, email address, company name and telephone number. We do not send you information unless you request it or we believe that the information would benefit your business needs.

Please be aware, however, even if we update your personal information in our contact list, or we remove such information, it may still be stored in other databases (including those kept for archival purposes) and may still be used to compile aggregated or demographic information for supply to third parties in accordance with this privacy policy. It is our policy to not provide information that identifies you personally to a third party without your permission, except to process or fulfill your requests, or as otherwise set forth in this privacy policy.
