Business & Decision is committed to protecting your privacy and this policy outlines our approach to collecting and using data obtained through this web site. We feel it is important to note that most of our site is available without you having to provide us with any information about yourself. However we sometimes require information in order to provide the data or services that you request.

Collecting your Personal Information

We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you attempting to access premium content, such as a whitepaper or downloadable content. Personal information collected by Business & Decision often is limited to e-mail address, country or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.

• To help you quickly find information or services on this web site;
• To help us create and deliver content most relevant to you;
• To alert you to new or updated information we feel you may be interested in, however this shall only be done with your prior consent.

We may occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including sending postal mail. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

Business & Decision will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• Act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of clients of Business & Decision, its web site, or the general public.
