What Information is Collected About Visitors?
The information that is collected about you while you are using the
Site falls into two categories:
1. Information You Provide to
Us.
The Site may collect and store information, personal or otherwise, that
you voluntarily supply while on the Site and/or use the Service. Specifically,
but not exclusively, we collect personal information such as your name,
address, phone number, email address, and other information relevant to
particular products or services that you choose to enter into one of the
Service's forms. We use this information to send you product updates, respond
to customer service requests, and to administer your query. If you decline to
supply or provide the Site with certain information while using the Service,
you may not be able to use or participate in some or all of the features
offered through the Service or by the Company. If you wish to subscribe to our
newsletter(s), we will use your name and email address to send the newsletter
to you. Out of respect for your privacy, you may choose to stop receiving our
newsletter or marketing emails by using the processes described in this Privacy
Policy (see "Opt-Out Policy"
below).
2. Log Files.
As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information
automatically and store it in log files. This information may include Internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream
data.
We may combine this automatically collected log information with other
information we collect about you. We do this to improve services we offer you,
as well as to improve analytics and site functionality.
3. Merging of Information.
Information collected through the Site may be merged with information
collected from other sources, including offline sources such as modifications
requested via phone or email in order to modify contact information. Similarly,
information collected through the Site may be stored with information collected
from other sources, including offline sources.
With Whom Will Your Information Be Shared?
We
may share information about you with other people or unaffiliated companies or
for various purposes including, without limitation, the parties and purposes
described below. Except as stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell your
personal information to third parties.

Products
or Service Requests: If you submit a request for information about a product or
service on the Site, we will share information about you contained in the
request form with third parties regarding whose products or services you seek
information. Alternatively, we may directly fulfill your request for the
information you seek. Third parties who provide products or services regarding
which you seek information may contact you by telephone, e-mail, or postal mail
based on the information you provided, even if you have opted into the National
Do Not Call List administered by the Federal Trade Commission, any state
equivalent Do Not Call List, or the Do Not Call List of a specific company. If
one of our business partners contacts you and you wish not to be contacted
again by that business partner with respect to your inquiry, then you should
specifically make a request to that partner not to contact you again. In some
cases, a third party may be involved in the process—for example, the Site may
share your information with a third party who will fulfill your request on
behalf of the third party about whose products or services you have requested
information. For information about our business and advertising partners,
