For this purpose, we have developed a privacy statement that describes how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information.

We use your information in a number of different ways – the use depends on the information.

Information through Social Media – If you participate with or share our content through social media, for example by liking us on Facebook, following or tweeting about us on Twitter, or giving us a ‘+1’ via Google Plus, those social networks will record that you have done so and may set a cookie for this purpose.
In some cases, where a page on our Website includes content from a social network, such as Twitter feed, or Facebook comments box, those services may set a cookie even where you do not click a button. As is the case for all cookies, we cannot access those set by social networks, just as those social networks cannot access cookies we set ourselves.
Your use of some social media features may result in the collection or sharing of information about you, depending on the feature. For example, these features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Such features may also allow third-party social media services to provide us information about you, including your name, email address, and other contact information. The information we receive is dependent upon your privacy settings with the social network. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and settings on the social media sites you use to make sure you understand the information that is collected, used, and shared by those sites.
Correspondence, Surveys, and Promotions – If you correspond with us by email, the postal service, phone, or other form of communication, we may retain such correspondence and the information contained in it and use it to respond to your inquiry, to notify you of products and services, keep a record of your complaint or request, and the like. Additional personal information that is collected may include voice recordings, photographs, and videos.
Information You Provide about a Third Party – There may be times where you provide us with information on a third-party. Typical reasons for providing third party contact information include so that we may recommend or send products/services to that person, for use as an emergency contact, or credit/professional reference. Local law may require you to get the consent of that person to provide their information to us. We may in turn use the information you provided in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
