When you sign up for a brochure or agree to receive promotional e-mail, we may use customized links or similar technologies to track e-mail links that you click.

Each e-mail communication includes an unsubscribe link allowing you to stop delivery of that type of communication.

We may hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as website hosting, packaging, mailing and delivering information, answering customer questions about services, and sending information about our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on us or the Site; (b) protect and defend our rights or property and our family of websites; or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of our employees or agents, or members of the public.
