Sharing of Information
We will not sell or otherwise share personally identifying information such as names or email addresses with other people or nonaffiliated companies except as required by law. However, we will share this information with certain business partners to provide requested service(s) that we do not provide directly such as credit card authorization, newsletter management platforms, or shipping and delivery companies; but we will only share personal information with these business partners if they agree not to disclose the information to other parties and agree not to use this information to solicit business from you.
In addition, we may share aggregate data that does not personally identify any party with our research partners, and may share this type of data with other business partners.

Links and External Sites
Some links on our website may point to documents or sites which are not located within our domain and, therefore, are not managed or controlled by us. A link does not necessarily imply our endorsement of the organization(s) or person(s) providing the website. We do not necessarily agree with the ideas expressed or the correctness, appropriateness, or legality of the content of any external sites.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any linked site. You should read the privacy policy of each linked website to understand how it collects, stores and protects your personal information. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected through our website. In addition, when you browse, other websites may place their own cookies on your computer. We do not control cookies placed on your computer by third parties whose links appear on our website.
Children
Parents should always supervise their children while online. Our website is not designed nor intended to collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen. So that we may comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we ask that children under the age of thirteen not provide any personal information on this website. If a child under the age of thirteen has provided us with personal information, we ask that a parent or guardian inform us so that we may remove the information.
Security
We have attempted to take all reasonable steps to have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in place to protect personal information gathered through this website. This includes compliance with related federal regulations and may include use of industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our web sites, and you do so at your own risk.
