Your Personal Information – When registering for the Site to use one or more of CTD's services, you are required to provide CTD with certain personal information (such as your name, email, postal code, cell phone number, address, date of birth, gender, and certain medical and insurance data) for purposes such as facilitating communications with you, applying for access to certain features or areas of the Site, or carrying out transactions. It is always your choice whether or not to provide personal information. If you choose not to provide requested personal information, you may not be able to access certain features of the Site. Additionally, if you contact CTD, CTD may keep a record of your correspondence.

CTD may share your personal information with its contractors, consultants, and professional advisors to the extent necessary for them to perform services on CTD's behalf and subject to reasonable confidentiality obligations.
3. Disclosure of Your Personal Information – It is CTD's general policy to not voluntarily disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent, except for disclosures required or permitted by law, as permitted pursuant to this Privacy Policy, or reasonably necessary to protect CTD's interests. However, due to the nature of the Internet, Internet technologies, and the existing regulatory environment, CTD cannot ensure that your personal information will not be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
4. Consent to Disclosure – By using this Site, you signify your consent to the disclosure of your personal information in the following circumstances:
(a) Disclosure to Third Parties Regarding Your Use of the Site – When you post photographs or other materials to the Site, some of your basic personal information may be disclosed as the source of such materials.

Before personal information is disclosed, the recipient organization will agree with CTD to protect the privacy of your personal information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. While CTD will use all reasonable measures to ensure compliance by such recipient organizations of their respective confidentiality obligations under such agreement with CTD, CTD hereby disclaims all responsibility and liability for any breach by any such recipient organization of its confidential obligations under any such agreement.
CTD may use tracking information to create aggregate reports on user demographics, and Site traffic patterns, analytics, and metrics. These reports may be provided to CTD's advertisers and partners, enabling them to better target their advertisements to the Site's users. None of the tracking information CTD provides them can be connected to the identities or other personal information of individual users. CTD may also link tracking information with personal information. Once CTD makes such a link, all of the linked information is treated as personal information. CTD may use such information to provide you with an enhanced or customized experience. If in any instance CTD intends to use or disclose any personal information collected from users in a manner that would otherwise conflict with the terms of this Privacy Policy, or CTD's Terms of Use, CTD will provide additional privacy information at such instance, which will govern any information so collected.
