If you elect to contact us through the Website by sending an email, we would then possess your email address, as well as whatever information you elect to provide in the body of your email. Such information would either be discarded or stored in our internal databases, and might be seen by us, our affiliates, or third-party service providers who are working on our behalf. Nonetheless, we do not actively disclose such information to unrelated third parties, nor do we perform analytics on such information, nor use it for marketing purposes. Still, if you send us an email, you should be sure not to provide us with sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (see additional information regarding security in Section 4 below). By providing your e-mail address, you are requesting that we communicate with you in that manner. To withdraw your request please contact us by sending an e-mail stating your request to develop@gingrasglobal.com or by contacting us in writing at the address provided below.

· To the extent you provide us with any Personally Identifiable Information, we would only use and/or disclose such information in accordance with this Privacy Notice. In all cases, however, we will only use or disclose your Personally Identifiable Information as permitted by law and our agreements with you. Personally Identifiable Information provided to us through the Website may be disclosed and used by us and our subsidiaries and affiliates as follows:

4. SECURITY

We have put in place reasonable precautions to protect information from loss, misuse, and alteration, including Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology on the Website. However, the safety and security of your information also depends on you. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personally Identifiable Information transmitted to the Website. Any transmission of Personally Identifiable Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

While we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to us or through the Website. Once we receive your transmission, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our internal systems. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, your communication may be discarded or archived. Please note that your e-mail, like most, if not all, non-encrypted Internet communications, may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use e-mail to communicate information to us that you consider sensitive or confidential. If you wish, you may contact us instead via telephone at the numbers provided throughout the Website or at the address below.
