At times we may ask you for contact information or conduct on-line surveys in order to better understand your needs so that we can provide you with a customized experience. If we wish to use this information other than as set forth in this statement, we will let you know at the time of collection. We will take commercially reasonable steps to safeguard this information from unauthorized access. When you access your account information, order a service, request product or service information, send us e-mail, register to receive news or information alerts, we will ask you to provide individually-identifiable information to us.
