PPG collects information in several ways from different parts of our network of web sites. Some professional information is gathered when you register. During registration, PPG asks for your name, job classification, job title, company, address, phone number, and email address. In addition, space is provided for your fax number, company URL, industry category, and areas of responsibility. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience. During registration, you will have the option to receive information about PPG and select from a number of services available on our site.

PPG's primary goal in collecting professional information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on our site. PPG does research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration and from our server log files. We do this to better understand and serve our users. In some cases, we review the information to tailor our users' web experience, generate anonymous statistics, or to contact users via email or postal mail. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis for purely internal purposes. At no time does PPG share this information with advertisers, researchers, or any group outside of PPG, its subsidiaries and business partners.

When you are on the PPG site, and asked for professional information, you are sharing that information with PPG alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. Please be aware that PPG may invite business partners to advertise or otherwise link to the PPG site, and the information practices of those Internet access partners, advertisers, and web sites linked to Yahoo! are not covered by this privacy statement. PPG has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies. For more information regarding partner's policies, visit that site's home page and click on their Information link.

PPG generally will not disclose any of your professional information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. The following describes some of the ways that your information may be disclosed.

PPG may disclose your personal information to business partners, but this is specifically described to you prior to data collection or prior to transferring the data. PPG may also disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating local, state, or federal laws, or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) PPG's rights or property, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. PPG may disclose or access registration information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services. PPG does not sell or rent user information to anyone.

Only employees of PPG, or one of its subsidiaries or agents will have access to the provided information on a regular basis. PPG shall maintain a list of all employees or other individuals who have regular access to personal information in the information system.

PPG may, from time to time, send you email regarding our products and services. In addition, if you indicate upon registration that you are interested in receiving offers or information from PPG and our partners, we may occasionally send you direct mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. Only PPG (or agents working on behalf of PPG and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings and only if you indicated that you do not object to these offers. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your professional information.

At any time, you may edit your professional information by contacting info@professionalprotectiongroup.com and providing us with your updated information.

We cannot guarantee 100% security from data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network. As a result, we will make every effort to protect your professional information. However, PPG cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our site, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
