Sources of Information. By engaging with my Website, you have an opportunity to provide me with personal information about you through forms, surveys, etc. 

Before you give me information, it is important to pay attention to what information is required and what is optional. By providing me with your information, you agree that it is correct, personal to you (and no one else whose permission has not been given), and complete.   

Your information may come from the following sources: 

• Directly from you - for example, when you create an account, sign up for a newsletter, contact my Company, submit correspondence or inquiries to my Company through the Website, or purchase a product.

• Passive data collection processes that use such tools as cookies.

Website users may also post or submit content (“Submissions”) on the Website including, but not limited to reviews, comments, testimonials, and discussions.

I really appreciate when my customers and Website users give me an opportunity to use their posted submissions and information to promote my products/services, enhance my user’s experience, and reach a new audience. I could not effectively reach and serve new audiences without their public support and brand advocacy! 

However, please keep in mind that your submissions are transmitted to my Website and disseminated to others at your own risk. The Company has no control over how other third-parties and users interact with your submissions. Please remember this before posting your submissions on my Website.
