Customer Reviews and Testimonials

We utilize PowerReviews, Inc. (“PowerReviews”) to provide services in connection with supporting customer reviews of our products and services (the “Review Service”).

Accordingly, please do not post anything that you do not want to share with the general public (for example, financial information, social security number, etc.). In addition, the UGC that you submit may be used for other advertising, analytic and statistical purposes including, for example, product improvement, benchmarking (e.g. where various products/services or categories of products/services are compared against each other or against the market as a whole), sentiment analysis (e.g. using the data from multiple reviews it is possible to determine how consumers as a whole feel about a product/service), and online behavioral advertising. We and/or PowerReviews may also collect other types of information in connection with your activities on the Review Service, such as demographic information (including, without limitation, your age, sex, occupation, interests, location, and income) and information about or contained in postings you make in forums or any other interactive areas of the Review Service, your answers to surveys, your participation in sweepstakes, contests, games and promotional offers; and in any email request you send us for any reason (such as to provide us with comments or feedback).
