We receive and store any information you enter on our Sites or give us in any other way, such as via telephone, electronic mail or online form.

For example, our servers track the type of Web browser you are using, and the page to which you link from our Sites. We collect this information to better develop a sense of what services our customers need, but not to track your individual usage patterns, except within the Sites. We may use such information for marketing purposes, and to send information to you which we believe might be of interest.

When users request intellectual property via email or download from our Sites, your information remains with TechVentive, Inc. Some intellectual property requests will be forwarded to web sites from our Sites and your information is subject to the privacy policies of those firms. These transferred requests will be noticeable and obvious.

We will strive to protect your information; however, we may share your information should any of the following situations apply:

• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or their assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets.

• Protection of TechVentive, Inc. and Others: We may release account and other personal information when we are required to do so by law, court order or other government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency; to enforce or apply our Services Agreement or other agreements; or when we believe in good faith that disclosing this information is necessary or advisable, including, for example, to protect the rights, property, or safety of TechVentive, Inc., our users, or others.
