We require customers who request information, and subsequently use our products and services, to provide contact information such as their name, company name, company address, company phone number, company email address and (later) company billing information such as billing name and address.  We may maintain log files tracking IP addresses to analyze trends, help diagnose problems with our Website servers, and to monitor Website traffic/usage in order to provide better service to our customers and visitors.  We do note use IP addresses to personally identify individuals, and we does not link IP addresses to other forms of personal information, however IP addresses alone may be considered to be personal information under the laws of certain jurisdictions.

 

We use the collected information to set up accounts for our business customers.  We may also use personal information to contact individuals at our current or prospective business customers to further discuss their interest in our services and to send related information to them, if such individual has so opted to receive these communications.  You will always have the opportunity to choose to opt-out from receiving our newsletter or other non-account related emails.  We also reserve the right to use aggregated data for any lawful purpose, provided that the data is not linked to any specific individual.

To be able to serve you, your personal information may be collected, stored and/or processed or otherwise used by or on our behalf in the United States by third party service providers, to perform cloud storage, payment processing and functions on our behalf.  As a result, U.S. courts, government or law enforcement agencies could obtain disclosure of such information under U.S. law.  Except where we are required by law to disclose personal information, we will use reasonable efforts to require any person to whom we provide your personal information to agree to comply with our then current Privacy Policy.  However, to the extent allowed under applicable law, we will have no liability to you if any person fails to do so.
