We collect Personal Information through forms, such as contact forms that you may submit when communicating with us. In addition, we may automatically receive and record information in our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, which also could be used to identify you.
Non-Personal Information is information that does not identify you, and may include statistical information concerning, for example, the pages on our website that users visit most frequently. We may collect Non-Personal Information through features of the software that supports our Site, through cookies, and through other means described below.
How We Use Information: We use Personal Information only to provide you with the specific information you may request from us through our website.

You can change your decision to receive any requested materials (opt-out) at any time by following the procedure set forth below.
We use Non-Personal Information to analyze the effectiveness of our website, and for other internal purposes, and may therefore share this information with third parties for this purpose. Any information we may share will not include Personal Information.

(1) We may employ third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as maintaining and providing services for our website (including e-mail transmission, web download management, and other communication functions). To secure these services, it may be necessary to share your information with these third parties, but only to the degree necessary to ensure proper delivery of the services we request. These third parties are expressly prohibited to use your Personal Information for any other purpose, or to retain such information after the requested services are provided.
(2) We may reveal your Personal Information on a case-by-case basis in order to comply with court orders, official investigations, and in similar involuntary circumstances. Unless instructed otherwise, we will make every effort to inform you when we have received a request to disclose your Personal Information in this fashion.
