Collection of Personal Information
As a general rule, you can visit the Websites without revealing any personal information about yourself (i.e. information that identifies you).

Such personal information may include your name, e-mail address, mailing address, or telephone number or it may involve other personal information relating to a compliance report. When you provide the Company with such personal information for a specific purpose, the Company uses that personal information only for that purpose. For example, if you provide the Company with personal information in relation to a job inquiry, the Company will use that personal information only in connection with such job inquiry. Also, if you provide the Company with personal information in relation to a compliance report, the Company will use that information only to review and address such compliance issue.
