The SilverQuest Consulting Group LLC
(SCG) understands that your privacy is important to
you. SCG is strongly committed to protecting your

provide as you access and use the materials on silverquest.com
(the "Site"), including the subscription
pages of the Site. In this written Privacy Policy,
SCG describes the scope and breadth of our commitment
to privacy. SCG may, in its discretion, amend this
Privacy Policy from time to time. Any material changes
to our policy will be reflected on this page, so that
you remain informed about the information we collect
and how we use it. By exploring and using this Site,
and by submitting information as you use this Site,

herein. This Site may contain links to external sites,

practices of any third party sites to which we link.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of
any such sites before you submit information there.
Information That We Collect
and How We Use It
SCG collects information from our users
when they create their account for this Site, when
they request copies of publications; seek additional
information regarding our services or employment opportunities,
or register for conferences and other SCG-sponsored
events. Some of our Site's registration, enrollment,
account setup and other forms may ask users to give
us contact information, unique personal identifiers,
financial information, subject areas of interest and/or
demographic information. We may use this data to tailor
the visitor's experience at our Site. We sometimes
aggregate demographic information and the types of
systems and browsers of users for internal purposes,
so that we may better understand the user population
of our Site, identify subject areas of interest, and
determine whether the Site is designed to work with
the computer settings of a majority of our visitors.
SCG also may conduct user surveys on the Web, which
usually are intended to provide SCG with information
on a number of areas, such as user identity, user
viewing habits, whether or not users found what they
were searching for, whether the Site content is relevant
to user needs, and the like. SCG uses the information
gathered from such surveys to improve our web content,
navigation, and overall visitor experience.
Any personal information that you provide,
such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone
number, subject areas of interest, etc., allows SCG
to inform you about updates to the service and to
notify you about other products and services offered
by SCG that may be of interest to you. We will not
sell, share, or rent or otherwise make available any
of that information to other parties, except that
we may disclose the information to third parties who
perform services on our behalf in connection with
the Site and have a need to access the information
in connection with those services. In addition, SCG
may disclose contact information for you in response
to inquiries by bona-fide rights owners in connection
with allegations of infringement of copyright or other
proprietary rights arising from information that you
have posted on the Site or otherwise provided to SCG.
Individuals that subscribe to e-mail newsletters are
given the opportunity to opt-out of promotions, news,
and information at the time of sign up. Our Site also
provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving
communications from us at the points where we request

as indicated below.
E-Mail Addresses
We may collect the e-mail addresses
at the point of subscription, of users who wish to
receive e-mail notification of publications and press
releases in identified subject areas of interest,
and of those who send us e-mail messages. We will
not, however, share any e-mail addresses with any
third party or send unsolicited e-mail to any of the
addresses we collect, except in very limited circumstances
as set forth in this policy.
