An optional contact page or newsletter subscription may also collect personal information for the purposes of opting into our email list or to contact us for any reason.

Our website does in places make recommendations for physical products that work well with our software. In these situations, we may include third party affiliate links to third party vendors, where the affiliate link may include a code that ties the user’s session with the affiliate partner to our company for the purposes of our company being paid a commission on any transactions that occur during that session.
