We may collect personally identifiable information from you in connection with your request for information about us. The personally identifiable information we collect is usually your first and last name, e-mail address, phone number and/or mailing address.

How is Information Collected?
The personally identifiable information we collect is sent to us voluntarily by you through Internet forms, mail, telephone or e-mail correspondence.
In addition, some sections of the Site use "cookies." Cookies are very small data files left on your computer by the Site. These files can then be accessed by the Site in the future. On their own, cookies do not contain or reveal any personally identifiable information. However, if you choose to furnish us with personally identifiable information, this information can be linked to the data stored in the cookies. Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies, but they will also allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

Like most standard websites, we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer our website, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Information Use and Distribution
As stated above, we collect personally identifiable information to create or enhance our relationship with you, including, without limitation, to respond to your questions or comments, to e-mail you with updates and news or to send out information regarding Contour. Only those who expressly ask to receive such information online or offline will get it. We do not sell any information to third parties.
We occasionally disclose personally identifiable information about you to affiliates and nonaffiliates as permitted by law. Some examples include:
- Disclosing information to a third party in order to process transactions that you request or authorize;
- Sharing information with companies related to us so we can make you aware of new or other services that we offer (note that these companies may not use the information for any other purpose);
- Disclosing information to research companies that help conduct surveys to assess and improve our financial services; and
- Disclosing information in connection with legal proceedings, such as responding to a subpoena.
When information is shared with third parties, they are not permitted to use the information for any purpose other than to assist our servicing of your account or as permitted by law.
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personally identifiable information when required by law if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on the Site or Contour.
