How We Use Information We Collect

Personal Information: We may use the personal information we collect in the following ways:

  • Fulfillment of requests. We may use your personal information to provide you with the services you requested.

  • Administrative communications. From time to time, we may use the personal information you provide us to contact you about the services you have ordered or important changes to the site. Because this information may be important to your use of the site, the fulfillment of your request, or required by Federal regulation, you may not opt-out of receiving such communications.

​

Non-personal Information: Because non-personal information does not personally identify you, we may use such information for any purpose.

We restrict access to personal information to employees and contractors who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

When visitors to our Site provide personal information, the data is encrypted and protected using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
