Collection and Use of Information

By using The Witness products and services, users agree that GLSI may collect aggregate information, individual information, and personally identifiable information, as defined below.  GLSI may share aggregate information and individual information with other parties.   GLSI shall not share personally identifiable information with other parties, except as described in the policy below. 

"Aggregate information" is information that describes the habits, usage patterns, and demographics of users as a group but does not describe or reveal the identity of any particular user. "Individual information" is information about a user that is presented in a form distinguishable from information relating to other users but not in a form that personally identifies any user or enables the recipient to communicate directly with any user unless agreed to by the user in advance of such communication.  This information may be used to improve GLSI products and services, for internal marketing studies, or simply to collect demographic information about GLSI’s users.

GLSI may use customer contact information provided by users to send information about GLSI, including news about product updates, contests, events, and other promotional materials, but only if the users agree to receive such communications.  Except in the cases described below, GLSI will not share personally identifiable information with any third party unless the user agrees to such disclosure in advance.  "Personally identifiable information" consists of a user’s name, email address, physical address, or other data about the user that enables the recipient to personally identify the user.  While GLSI collects personally identifiable information on a voluntary basis, for certain products and online sites, GLSI’s collection of personally identifiable information may be a requirement for access to the product or site.  Personally identifiable information will be processed and stored by GLSI in databases situated in the United States.  GLSI may allow third parties performing services under contract with GLSI to access stored information but such access shall only be to the extent necessary to provide those services.  In those instances, the third party will be bound by the terms of this privacy policy.

Personally identifiable information protected under this privacy policy and collected from users may be done in conjunction with associates under agreement with GLSI. GLSI will only provide such information to associates with the user’s prior written approval.  If a user does not want to provide this information, the user may choose to opt out of providing this information.  Additionally, if providing the information is a requirement of usage, the user may decline to use that particular service or product GLSI’s privacy policy does not extend to associates of GLSI.

Furthermore, external websites, services, products, or companies with links to and from The Witness products and services may collect personal information about users.  GLSI’s privacy policy does not extend to these external websites, services, products, or companies.  Please refer directly to these companies and websites regarding their privacy policies.

GLSI may release personally identifiable information to comply with court orders or laws that require us to disclose such information
