potential customers of our affiliates or partners (“you” and “your”).
2. Purpose of this policy
This policy disclaims the personal information and privacy issues that affect you and any potential
customers. It describes the way we collect, store, use, and protect information that can be associated
with you, your business or a natural person and can be used to identify any of the above (“personal
information”).

3.1 includes
● certain information collected on web page use;
● additional information accessed through your interactions with us; and
● optional information that you voluntarily provide to us.
3.2 excludes
● information that has been made anonymous so that it does not identify a specific person;
● permanently de-identified information that does not relate or cannot be traced back to you
specifically; and
● non-personal statistical information collected and compiled by us and information that you
have provided voluntarily in an open, public environment or forum including (without
limitation) any blog, social media account, chat room, community, classifieds or discussion
board. Because the information has been disclosed in a public forum, it is no longer

policy.

5. Changes
We may change the terms of this policy at any time. We will notify you of any changes by placing a
