We have prepared this Privacy Notice to inform you of the information we gather and how it is used.

We use this information to better understand how our website is being used so that we can improve its quality and make it more beneficial to our users.
Some portions of this website may request that you give us information about yourself, from which we are able to identify you, such as your name, email or other address. Some of the ways in which we may collect information from you are:

How do we use the
information we gather?
When we collect information about you,
it is our intention to tell you why we are asking for the information and what
we intend to do with it. You will have the option of not providing the
information, in which case you may still be able to access other portions of
this website, although you may not be able to access certain programs or
services. In certain areas of our website, we may, where appropriate, enable you
to "opt out" of certain uses of your information, or elect not to receive future
communications or services.
The information we collect about you or your computer will be used to operate our website and to provide customer support, respond to your requests or process any transactions you have authorized. It may also be used to verify your identity, send you information or contact you in relation to a InterLock product or service that you are using or that we believe may be of interest to you.
Will we share this
information with third parties?
In certain instances, we may make your
information available to third parties with whom we have a relationship where
that third party is providing services on our behalf. We will only provide those
third parties with information that is necessary for them to perform the
services and we take measures to protect your information.
We may also disclose some information to our business partners, for marketing and other purposes which we believe may be beneficial to you.
InterLock seeks to provided product and services in a number of countries. Accordingly, the information we collect may be used, stored and processed in the United States or in any other country in which InterLock does business.

InterLock may disclose information it has collected about you on the website if required to do so by law or when necessary in order to protect the rights of InterLock or its employees.
What about data security?
InterLock's intent is to strictly protect the security of your personal
information; honor your choice for its intended use; and carefully protect your
data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or
destruction. We have taken significant steps to safeguard and secure information
we collect online, including the use of encryption when collecting or
transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.
However, you should always take into consideration that the internet is an open forum and that data may flow across networks with little or no security measures, and therefore such information may be accessed by people other than those you intended to access it.
Can you update and/or
amend the personal information you have provided?
You are entitled to know whether we
hold information about you and, if we do (subject to certain limitations), to
have access to that information and have it corrected if it is inaccurate or out
