We highly recommend you review this policy and understand the items outlined within this notice. We provide our recommendations about

1. Information We Collect:
The Company limits the information and data we collect and use from users of our system. We only gather data on a need-to-know basis, in
order to provide better service to our customers. As users use our systems, we can become privy to the information about our users
from a number of different methods:
-- By users viewing our web pages and accessing our website,
-- Through user actions taken when using our systems,
-- By users downloading and installing our applications to local machines,
-- By users utilizing our online services and other automated resources, and
-- By storing information that users directly provide to us to utilize our services.
The data we collect in this manner consists of, but is not necessarily limited to, informational items such as:
-- Statistical data about the systems, browsers, dates, times, and IP addresses of users accessing our website,
-- Usage data about how users use our systems and which pages and resources are loaded,
-- Statistical data about programs downloaded from our website,
-- Usage data about our online services and other automated resources associated with user accounts,
-- Customer data that our users manually input into our website and other applications, and
-- User settings and preferences, usually associated with the user account.
When users are signed into their account, some of this data may be, but not necessarily, associated directly with their user account records. When
users are not signed in to their account on our website, we may collect information about unique identifiers tied to the browser, application, IP address,
and/or computer device that is being used to access our website or other online resources and services.
In some cases, we may use third party tools and services on our website or within our other applications, online resources, and services. In
those rare cases, the third party may also collect and retain certain information about our users and their usage, which is separate from this policy
and is actually covered under the third party's specific privacy policy. In these rare instances where we utilize resources from third parties,
we only use resources and services from third parties that we deem extremely reputable and trustworthy, and that have a privacy policy similar to
our own privacy policy.
2. Information We Share:
As of the date of posting this privacy policy, we DO NOT SHARE OR SELL ANY personally identifiable information to
any third parties or other entities, except when explicitly specified. We understand the need for data privacy and we are 100% committed to
making all reasonable efforts to protect user data stored within our systems. All personal data that we collect and retain is kept in the strictest
of confidence. All user personal information is only privy to our employees, representatives, and/or contractors on a need-to-know basis.
Example #1: Sharing Personal Information with a Contractor:
If you were to place an order with us and we send you a package via a third party shipping service, technically we've shared your personal information
(that you've provided to us) to the shipper of the package, who is a contractor to us. In that situation, we would only use a reputable shipping service
to perform this task and we would only provide the minimal amount of information needed to complete the shipment to you. It is our intention to ONLY
use the data you've provided to us on a need-to-know basis, and in those cases, only when expected or explicitly specified.
In some cases, we may share aggregated data and demographic information about users and system usage with our employees, partners, advertisers,
investors, or to the general public. In these cases, although the information may contain aggregated user data, the data sets are not linked to any
specific user accounts or individual person. We make every effort to ensure that aggregated user data cannot used to personally identify any individual
person, or linked to any single user account, stored in our systems.
Example #2: Sharing Business Data with Investors:
As part of our reporting processes, we may provide periodic aggregated data figures about our customers, our projects, our service usage, and other
demographic information necessary to communicate the status of our business to interested parties, such as our investors. In those cases, all personal
information about individual customers will be removed, so that no one person or entity is personally identifiable from these aggregated datasets.
In very rare instances, we may share information provided by our users if such action is necessary to:
1. Comply with federal or state legal regulations and processes,
2. Defend and protect our own rights, interests, or properties,
3. Enforce the terms and conditions of our systems, products, and/or services, OR
4. Protect the interests of The Company, and its subsidiaries, representatives, members, or constituents.
In these rare cases that we do share personally identifiable information, we take the highest precautions to only share personally identifiable
information to the extent required.
Example #3: Court Order to Provide Data About a Customer:
It is possible that we could receive a court order to provide customer data to another entity. In that situation, we would review the order and
if it was legitimate and legal, we would be compelled by law to comply with the request. In that situation, we would take great care to only provide
the minimal amount of data needed to comply with the order.
3. Entities We Share Information With:
As of the date of posting this privacy policy, we DO NOT SHARE OR SELL ANY personally identifiable information with
any third parties or other entities, except when explicitly specified. We are 100% committed to making all reasonable efforts to protect
user data stored in our systems. All data we collect and retain is kept in the strictest of confidence, and personal user information is only privy
to our employees, representatives, and/or contractors on a need-to-know basis. In general, we make every effort to keep information sharing to a minimum
to ensure your personal privacy.
4. How This Information Is Secured:
We make all reasonable and customary efforts to ensure user data and personal information is secured within our systems. In general, the following is a
list of security measures we take to protect user data:
