Information We Collect

When you browse this Site, you browse anonymously, unless you register for a service, purchase a product, submit a question or comment through "Help/Contact Us," or send us employment information or e-mail. We do not collect or store any personal information — such as your name, address, phone number, or e-mail address — unless you knowingly and willingly provide it.

When you place an online order for products or register for a service, we collect only information — such as name, company affiliation, mailing address, title, primary job function, telephone numbers, and e-mail address — necessary to fulfill the transaction you requested.

When you request information, make a suggestion, or ask us a question through "Help/Contact Us," we ask you to provide certain information — your name, title, company, type of business, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address — so we can respond to your request.

We may use the Personal Information you provide for product purchases, service registrations, and "Help/Contact Us" to contact you about your registration, to provide announcements about products and future services, to conduct surveys, to respond to your inquiries and suggestions, and to contact you for other reasons related to offering and improving our services.

We may display employment opportunities on this site.
