This may include contacting subscribers to update information once in a while, and, from time to time, inviting some readers to participate in a thought-leadership research survey for paper or article publication. Occasionally we also notify our readers of relevant events, products and services. Outline of detailed Privacy Policy is outlined below.

We will not rent, swap or sell our confidential lists to advertisers, other websites or list brokers, something we strongly oppose. We may engage in co-registration opportunities such as joint events, webinars and publications with our partners, provided these partnerships are based on opt-in (i.e. your personal information will not be shared with our partners, and you won’t get anything from our partners unless you register to the Service).
