CONSENT AND OPT-OUT

It is important to us that we collect, use or disclose your personal data/information where we have your consent to do so. Depending on the sensitivity of the personal data/information, your consent may be implied, deemed (using an opt-out mechanism) or express. Express consent can be given orally, electronically or in writing. Implied consent is consent that can reasonably be inferred from your action or inaction.

If we seek additional information from you, beyond the information provided by you or your clients, we will seek your consent at the time that we collect any such personal information.

It may be noted that in some circumstances, a change in or withdrawal of consent may severely limit our ability to provide products or services to you, or acquire products or services from you or your clients.

From time to time, we communicate via email with users who request information. For example, we may use your email address to confirm a request you have made, to send you information about changes to our products and services, and to send notices and other disclosures as required by law.

SECURITY

Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to maintain physical, technical and procedural safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information in question.
