Portions of the Site permit users to contact Linking Solutions with requests for free information. Other portions of the Site require or invite users to provide personally identifiable contact and related information ("contact information"). In all of these situations, the only contact information we have or collect about you is the information you give us, voluntarily, by typing it in to this Site.

For example, Linking Solutions uses information collected on various pages of the Site to respond to a user's request for technical information, to provide product literature, or to enter a user's images or success stories on to our web site to be displayed over the Internet. Linking Solutions may also use this information to contact users in the future with respect to technical or product applications we think may be of interest. We may also share contact information with government authorities or in order to protect our rights. Linking Solutions may also provide contact information to other third parties at our discretion. Finally, Linking Solutions may share contact information in the case of a sale or transfer of part or all of the business. Users who have provided information in the past may opt-out of receiving future information by complying with the opt-out procedures described below in Section 2.
