We will not distribute information that identifies you individually or reveals your identity (herein called "Identifying Information"), such as your email address, unless you give your prior approval in response to a request made by BenefitsLink or unless distribution of that information is permitted under this Privacy Policy.

We can provide Identifying Information to other parties if required by law, court order, or an enforceable request from a government or law enforcement authority.

Identifying Information will be available to other users of BenefitsLink to the extent you choose to post the information onto our message boards, the Speakers Database or another such public forum on BenefitsLink.

We may collect and use information about you and your use of BenefitsLink, including Identifying Information, for our own internal purposes such as, for example, analyzing usage of BenefitsLink in order to improve them. BenefitsLink logs IP addresses for systems administration, diagnostic, and site tracking purposes, and to report aggregate information to advertisers. BenefitsLink does not link IP addresses to information identifying users individually.

We may use or distribute information about you and your use of BenefitsLink in ways that do not identify you individually or reveal your identity.

Companies that advertise on BenefitsLink may ask for Identifying Information from you (e.g., in connection with offers to provide free samples of their goods). If you provide this information to the advertiser, any use of that information by the advertiser is not covered by this Privacy Policy, which does not cover use of Identifying Information by parties other than BenefitsLink.

When you purchase products or services through the BenefitsLink Store, Identifying Information included with your order is provided to the vendors of the products or services (e.g., a book publisher who needs the information to ship a book to you). Such a vendor might choose to make further use of that information, which would not be covered by this Privacy Policy.

In the course of its business, BenefitsLink might buy or sell sites or assets. In these kinds of transactions, customer information (such as Identifying Information) usually is one of the transferred business assets. In the event that BenefitsLink, its subsidiaries or affiliates is acquired, merged, or otherwise combined with another party, customer information (such as Identifying Information) will be one of the transferred assets. We will not engage in such a transaction unless the other party or parties agrees to continue to honor this Privacy Policy with respect to any Identifying Information we have collected through the date of the transaction. (Please note that the Privacy Policy thereafter would be subject to change upon providing proper notice to you, as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.)

BenefitsLink may use other companies and persons to perform certain functions for us. These functions might include, for example, processing credit card payments, providing customer service, and sending e-mail. These other companies and persons may have access to customer information (such as Identifying Information) that's needed to perform their functions, but they are not authorized to use it for any other purposes.
