When we request information from you, we ask for the information needed to provide you with the service you've requested. When we provide you the opportunity to receive newsletters or other information, we may ask for information about your company to determine which of our business units can best serve you.

When you set up an account, maintain that account or place an order, we use the information you provide about yourself so we can complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order (e.g., to arrange for third-party shipping and delivery services).

For example, we may tell a publisher that a certain number of individuals visited a certain area on our website or that a certain number filled out a registration form, but we do not disclose anything that could be used to identify individuals.

We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to those described above without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated use.
