Such agreements take precedence over any conflicting provision in this Privacy Policy.
As data controller and processor, we reserve the right to update our privacy policy at any time without prior notice. Upon a change in policy, we will alert you with a new entry on our Press Events page in the respective month; and, your continued use of this website will constitute your consent to the updated policy. Use the “Last Updated” date above to determine the effective date of the policy.
We may collect and process your personal data in order to:
respond or contact you specifically, such as through email, mail, or via phone, regarding matters of this website and/or our software but only if you or others on your behalf directly provide it freely and directly to us at any time through any means (e.g., online form, direct email, business card, phone call to our office, etc.);

We value the importance of protecting privacy and personal data.

This collection of information can be processed into reports and viewed using web server analysis software. We DO NOT use this automatically collected information to identify you personally.
Except for reverse IP lookup we do not automatically cross-reference your information with any 3rd parties. Additionally and specifically for tracking you or otherwise, we:
DO NOT use "required cookies", such as those used to access protected areas of the website because we do not provide any such areas to the public;
DO NOT use "functional cookies" or "advertising cookies" to track or analyze your website usage because we respect your privacy;
DO NOT track you over time or across 3rd party websites and therefore do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals from web browsers; and
DO NOT collect information using web or email pixels (also known as beacons), embedded hyperlinks, or similar tools because we respect your privacy.
We may use your personal data to attempt to generally research you using the results provided from online search engines.
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. We may collect, process, or use the following personal data, if you provide it to us:

We hire service provider data processors to process on our behalf automatically collected web server information about your visit, to both filter spam from valid email and to serve email, to regularly backup data, to enable and perform secure data file transfers with you, to invoice you, and to perform any other business purpose we may deem necessary. Such service providers support SELLC for fees, especially relating to hosting and operating servers and internet-related services on which we rely to run our company. These processors may be located outside of the USA and we use the internet to interact with all of them. We DO NOT sell, rent, loan, or knowingly share your personal data with any 3rd party or with any such data processor or service provider for their use. We DO NOT store your personal data or any portions thereof on any platform or service that is free.

DOES NOT include social media features (e.g., share or like buttons);
DOES NOT use social media platforms; and
DOES NOT use any 3rd party tracking services for "analytics".
