In the event such Personal Information is provided by someone other than the User whom it identifies, we will notify the User as is reasonable in the circumstances and otherwise ensure that the User is aware of any such matters.

General enquiries about products and services can be handled anonymously if requested, however failure to provide the personal information required may mean that we cannot provide the services requested or we may be forced to withdraw our services.

8. Use of Your Information

We may use your Personal Information only for the particular purpose for which it was collected and will not use the information for a secondary purpose unless the User has consented to the use or disclosure of the information or as set forth more fully in Section 11. Specifically, we may use your Personal Information to personalize your User experience; to improve customer service: to process transactions; to administer a contest, promotion, survey or other feature; to contact registered Users via email in order to send them information and updates pertaining to their orders or subscriptions; to respond to inquiries, to send company news, updates and other related information; and to comply with regulatory or legal requirements.

Members who register for our services, if they have not opted-in to our newsletter prior to the time of registration, are automatically added. All Users may opt out to receiving marketing information and our newsletter via the unsubscribe link contained at the bottom of certain emails or by emailing us as support@superdatascience.com.

Such tracked activity may include but shall not be limited to: the opening of emails, forwarding of emails, the clicking of links within the email content, times, dates and frequency of activity.

This information is used to refine future email campaigns and supply the User with more relevant content based around their activity.
