What is Personal Information and why do we collect it?
Personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples of Personal Information we collect include names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and facsimile numbers.

We collect your Personal Information for the primary purpose of providing our services to you, sharing information with our clients, and for marketing purposes. We may also use your Personal Information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. You may unsubscribe from our mailing/marketing lists at any time by contacting us in writing.
When we collect Personal Information, we will, where appropriate, explain why we are collecting the information and how we plan to use it.
