However, we won't be able to answer your question, communicate with you further, or offer the services you have asked for if you decide not to give us your Personal Data in these situations.
Depending on how you communicate with us regarding your visit to the website or applications, we will use your Personal Data as follows:

• Inquiring about how our services could benefit your company means that we will use your Personal Data to answer any questions you may have and/or to give you the information you ask for because we need it to communicate with you, answer your request, and build our relationship;
• In the event that you see or download a piece of content (such as a white paper, case study, competitive analysis, etc.), we will use your Personal Data to send you materials and information that may be pertinent to the content you have viewed or downloaded;
• If you're asking how we might help your company with accounting and taxation, we'll use your Personal Data to think about how your company can benefit from our services.
• If you are a current client, supplier, or partner of ours and you have a question concerning your contract or connection with us, we will use your Personal Data to reply to you regarding a pre-existing contract or relationship.

Additionally, we might need to:

• Utilize your Personal Data to carry out an agreement with your company, without which we would not be able to deliver those services to or receive them from your company; for instance, if a specific service or piece of information is supposed to be delivered to you at your company, we would not be able to deliver it unless we could use your Personal Data for that purpose;
• Utilize your Personal Data in order to fulfill legal requirements for our business management or our engagement with your company;
• We will use your Personal Data to evaluate and determine how to reply to your question about job openings if you are a member of the public and you are asking if you could work for us.

We take this step to ensure that your query is legitimate and not spam or being made fraudulently. We might also take this action because we might be bound by legal requirements that demand that we verify the information you give us prior to establishing a relationship with you; and
• If you agree to receive marketing messages, we will use your Personal Data to get in touch with you and tell you about events, news, and pertinent goods and services. You agree to us contacting you for these purposes when you click "sign up" after entering your contact information for this purpose. Only with your permission will we be able to send you marketing materials.

When you give us your information, you are granting us permission to use your Personal Data to get in touch with you via phone, email, and direct mail, to provide you with a personalized online experience, and to share information about industry news and events, best practices, and related products and services. You can change your communication options or revoke your consent to our contacting you by signing into your Client Portal or sending an email to the address provided under Contact Information below.

Please click the "unsubscribe" link in that promotional email message or visit your Client Portal if you decide you do not want to receive any correspondence from us regarding the services we could offer your company, including communications about product information, press releases, newsletters, marketing, promotions, and/or other topics. Removing your consent will not change how we use your Personal Data before you do so, but it will prevent us from contacting you about any future services we could provide for you or your company.

“DO NOT TRACK”
At this moment, we do not promise to comply with web-browser Do Not Track signals or other systems that provide users control over how their Personal Data is collected over time and across third-party websites or online services ("DNT"). This is partly because authorities, technology companies, and industry associations have not created a uniform industry standard for DNT. We'll keep an eye on advancements in DNT browser technology and review our DNT procedures as necessary.

On our servers, we have put in place the proper organizational and technical safeguards to prevent your personal information from being accidentally or illegally destroyed, lost, altered, disclosed, or accessed by unauthorized parties. It's important to remember that emails and other Internet transactions are never totally safe or error-free.

Furthermore, it is your duty to protect any passwords, ID numbers, social security numbers, or other unique access characteristics that you use on the Website and Applications. It is advisable that you select a strong password, avoid using the same one on other websites, and keep your password private. In order to prevent anybody who might have access to your computer from accessing your Personal Data, don't forget to exit your Client Portal and shut down your browser window after you're done.
