PERSONAL DATA
Visitor's may browse the Company's website anonymously without providing any personal information. There are some instances when we may ask you for personal data. For example, we will occasionally conduct on-line surveys to better understand the needs and profile of our visitors. We also request personal information if you register and request additional information on our products and services or if you send us a question. Visitors are not required to provide personal information but by choosing not to do so they may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services.

Personal information provided by users who are 13 years of age or over will be used only for marketing and promotional purposes by the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates.

We may share statistical or aggregated non-personal information about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors and other third-parties to customize the Company's website content and advertising.

The Company reserves the right to transfer any collected personal information to a buyer or transferee of all or a portion of our assets, in conjunction with a sale of all or a portion of our assets.
