1. How We Use Your Information
Personal information is information that is associated with your name or personal identity. Personal information may be email address, physical contact information, and (depending on the service used) sometimes financial information, such as credit card or bank account numbers. We use your personal information to provide you with services and to help us better understand your needs and interests. Specifically, we use your personal information to help you complete a transaction or order, to communicate with you, to provide service and support, to update you on services and benefits, to personalize promotional offers and to personalize some of our websites. Occasionally we may also use your information to contact you for market research regarding our products or services. We may combine your information with information we collect from other companies and use it to improve and personalize our services, content and advertising. Credit card information is used only for payment processing and fraud prevention and will not be kept longer than necessary for providing the services. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information. SSL encryption is designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but us.
Non-personal information is data about usage and service operation that is not associated with a specific personal identity. We collect and analyze non-personal information to evaluate how visitors use our websites. |

These service providers may change or we may contract with additional service providers to better accommodate our customers.
We will not share personal information with any other third parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly authorized information requests of governmental authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, or court order.
Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, we decide to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize our businesses. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or receiving it from sellers. |

If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify us and change your password.
