We use these Identifiers to supply our products and services to you, to comply with law, to improve our products and services, for recruitment, to communicate with you about our products and services, to analyze traffic to our website, for billing, and to enforce agreements with our customers.

      • Comply with a legal obligation.
      • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

However, you may opt back in to personal information sales or sharing at any time by visiting our website and sending us a message. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
