We are confident that our privacy practices are ethical and transparent as outlined below. But, if you don’t agree, we will respect your decision to leave.

WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Personal Information is any information that may allow for an individual to be personally identified. For example, your name, email address, social security number, phone number, residential address, and credit card details are all considered personal information. Other information, such as your customer number, IP address, and geolocation may also be considered personal information if that information, when combined with other information, is used to reveal your identity.
