Other Information:  Any Information that is not considered PII, which is provided by you to us or the Site.

Third-Party:  A Third-Party is an individual, group of individuals, entity, or group of entities, that is not you or us.  Third-Parties may be product or service providers of the Site, clients or customers of the Site, or anyone or anything else necessary, or deemed by us as necessary, to the continuation, operation, maintenance, success, transfer, or sale of the Site.  These Third-Parties are considered “Authorized Third-Parties” and have permission to access information as needed under our direction and/or supervision.  Care is taken to protect your PII from “Unauthorized Third-Parties” (those Third-Parties who do not have the Site’s permission to access or use information we or the Site collects or stores), including the use of Authorized Third-Parties and their products or services for the purposes of storage, encryption, data transfer, data manipulation, analysis, updates, improvements, support, consultation, or security.
