If you sign up for our newsletter, we will send you our newsletter to the e-mail address that you provide.  Unless you become a client, we will not attempt to contact you by telephone unless you make a request for us to do so or unless there is an e-mail deliverability issue.  We may otherwise attempt to contact you through independent marketing campaigns.

Trusted Affiliates

Many companies provide information obtained through their websites to third parties to third parties (commonly referred to as “trusted affiliates”) so that the trusted affiliates can then direct marketing efforts to the internet users.  We do not have any such “trusted affiliates.”  We do not disclose any information that you may provide to us to any third party other than those companies and/or persons who may be providing services for us, who may be working on a project for you (if you have retained us), or upon your express consent and direction for us to do so.
