Types of Information Collected
In order to better provide you with our numerous services, we collect two types of information about our users and clients: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.

You must provide contact information (such as name, email, phone number, and mailing address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). By purchasing our services, you agree to provide and maintain accurate, complete and updated information. Your personal information will be kept only as long as we need it for the purposes for which we collected it, or as permitted by law.
After you have ordered our services, we may be in communication with you about your account.

Disclosure of Personal Information
We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to provide service to that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to provide service. In the event that this policy changes, we will provide you with an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit the disclosure of your information to third parties for any purpose other than your ordering and ongoing use of our services. For sensitive information, affirmative or explicit (opt in) choice will be given if the information is to be disclosed to a third party or used for a purpose other than previously authorized.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Information to others.
