We use the information we collect primarily to provide you with a personalized Internet experience that delivers the information, resources, and services that are most relevant and helpful to you.

We do not share any of the information you provide with others, unless we say so in this Privacy Policy, or at the point of submission, or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. Before you use our various services, you should carefully review this Policy. Only submit personal information and use our services if you accept this Privacy Policy.

CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

As our organization, changes occur from time to time; therefore, expect this Privacy Policy to change as well. We reserve the right to amend the Policy at any time, for any reason. We will notify you as required by law and indicate at the end of this Policy when the latest revisions occurred.
