After personally identifiable information reaches the Company it is stored on a server with physical and electronic security features as customary in the industry, including utilization of login/password procedures and electronic firewalls designed to block unauthorized access from outside of the Company. All Company employees are aware of our privacy and security policies. Your information is only accessible to those employees who need it in order to perform their jobs.

Except in the particular circumstances described in this Privacy Policy, the Company will also not provide your name to other companies or organizations without your consent.

The Company does use the services of third parties (e.g. processing of purchase orders) that act as independent contractors on behalf of the Company. These parties are contractually prohibited from using personally identifiable information for any purpose other than for the purpose the Company specifies. We do provide non-personally identifiable information to certain service providers for their use on an aggregated basis for the purpose of performing their contractual obligations to us. We prohibit the sale or transfer of personal information to entities outside of the the Company’s affiliates for their use without our approval.

The Company may disclose your personally identifiable information if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, a subpoena, or other legal process.
