When you visit our Site, some information about your computer hardware and software is inherently automatically collected, such as your IP address, domain name, browser type, access time and referring website addresses. We typically do not use this information for any purpose, but an example of when we may use this information is in implementing improvements and analyzing the Site and for troubleshooting purposes. We also utilize this information to monitor and improve services and to ensure that your use of the Site is in compliance with our Terms of Service. Most of our services do not require any form of registration, allowing you to visit the Site without telling us who you are. However, some services, such as newsletter opt-ins may require you to provide us with Personal Data. You may choose to withhold any Personal Data requested by us, but it may not be possible for you to gain access to certain parts of the site or content. We require only the information that is reasonably required to enter into a contract with you. We will not require you to provide consent for any unnecessary processing as a condition of entering into a contract with us. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be processed also in the context of such transactions and for the purpose of executing the transactions.

you have provided your consent to one or more processing activities;
the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject;
the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests.

These countries (including the United States) may not necessarily have data protection laws as comprehensively protective as your country of residence; however, my collection, storage, and use of your data will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.
