Notification of changes to this Policy
We are continually improving and adding new functionality and

products, services and programs. Because of these ongoing changes,
changes in the law and the changing nature of technology, our data

explicitly agreed to receive email messages from third parties.
We may also collect email addresses via marketing events such as
trade shows and exhibitions. In such cases, we assume that people
providing their email addresses are opting in to receive email
messages from third parties. Therefore, we do not include an email
opt-out mechanism when collecting event leads.

purposes. We ask only for data that is adequate, relevant and not
excessive for those purposes. When we ask you for Personal Data, we
