We generally identify the purposes for which we use your Personal or Company Information at the time we collect it and obtain your consent prior to use.

Some of the primary purposes for which we collect and use your Personal Information include:

We obtain your consent before collecting personal information from you.

We explain your options and obtain your implicit or explicit consent at the time of or prior to collecting, using, or disclosing your Personal Information. We will always collect your Personal Information by fair and lawful means (for example, when you complete an application form or purchase a product or service from us). We may collect Personal Information about you from third parties, such as industry organizations, trade show registrations, and other institutions and organizations.

Where is it reasonable to do so, or permitted by law, we may rely on implied consent.

Except as required to process a transaction, to maintain records, or as required or permitted by applicable law, providing us with your personal information is voluntary. You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time, subject to legal and contractual restrictions, provided that reasonable notice is given to us. If you withdraw your consent to receive information regarding certain products, publications, services, or events being offered by us, we will not notify you. Refusal or withdrawal of consent from use of personal information by us may result in our being unable to provide you with services.
