Our Principles
We are committed to handling responsibly the information and data we collect about you through the Website, whether Personal Information, Potentially Identifying Information, or Non-personal Data. We have designed our Privacy Policy in accordance with the following principles (the “Principles“):

Unless restricted or prohibited by law, and if your email address has been collected and retained, you should be notified by email when circumstances require us to provide a third party with your Personal Information.
The provisions below are divided into four main categories:
- Personal Information,
- Potentially Identifying Information,
- Non-Personal Data, and

These provisions set out specific details about how we handle your Collected Data, in keeping with the Principles. If a situation arises that is not covered by the specific provisions below, then we use the Principles to guide us in dealing with that situation.
