Purpose of This Privacy Policy

This privacy policy describes how Skiff, LLC (“Skiff”) treats the personally identifiable information that is collected about you when you visit the Web sites to which this policy is linked.

What Is Personally Identifiable Information

“Personally identifiable information” is information that we can use to identify you as an individual. Personally identifiable information includes your name, address, telephone number, and any other information that is connected with you personally.

Information This Privacy Policy Does Not Apply To

This privacy policy does not apply to information collected about you by anyone except Skiff and only applies to the Web sites to which this policy is linked. Any information you provide when you visit Web sites other than those covered by this policy (including other Web sites affiliated with Skiff’s parent corporation and affiliates) is subject to the privacy policies of the organizations who run and/or own those Web sites. This policy does not apply to information you may provide to us offline.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

Skiff generally collects personally identifiable information with your specific knowledge and consent. Before you are able to receive further information about Skiff and its products, you may be required to provide limited personal information. This information may be collected on our behalf by third party service providers who have been instructed to use the information only as directed by Skiff.

Skiff uses this information to provide you with the service you have requested. We may also use your information to contact you by e-mail or offline with special offers from Skiff or affiliated parties who have asked Skiff to market to its users on their behalf. If you don’t want us to send you e-mail messages, you can contact us at contact@skiff.com. We may also initiate marketing contacts with colleagues at your business or institution on the basis of inquiries you may make about our products and services.

In addition, Skiff may share or disclose personally identifiable information about you to other companies or individuals when:

• we utilize third party service providers to provide products, services or functions on our behalf (such as sending e-mails, newsletters, or processing credit cards), and ask these service providers to agree to maintain the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information and not to use your personally identifiable information for any reason except to carry out the purpose(s) for which we hired them;
• we authorize third parties, such as advertisers and others who may have products we think might be of interest to you, to contact you;
• the entity to whom the information is disclosed is one under control of, or under common control with Skiff (for these purposes, a company controlling 20% or more of the voting stock of another entity shall be deemed to control such entity);
• we need to protect our legal rights (for example, if we are trying to collect money you owe us);
• we must comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal or regulatory process; or
• in connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange, or other disposition (whether of assets, stock, or otherwise) of all or a portion of the business conducted by the Web sites to which this policy applies.
