Personal Information does not include your name, business address and business contact information, such as your business title, email address or phone number, which you provide to us for business purposes. Axess generally collects Personal Information that you voluntarily provide, but we may collect information from third parties and as agents on behalf of our clients where we or they have obtained the requisite consent, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. We may also collect information through our website. Some of our pages allow for the submission of forms, quotes and applications to be contacted by one of our associates. The types of personal information collected on these pages include but are not limited to: name, address, email address, phone number, location, etc. We do not employ any electronic means to automatically collect Personal Information from any visitor or user of our site or from their computers. Our website contains links to other websites which may collect your Personal Information. Axess does not assume any responsibility for the privacy practices, policies or actions of the third parties operating these websites. You should read the privacy policies of these websites and make an informed decision whether or not to provide your Personal Information to the websites’ operators.

By providing Personal Information to Axess, you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of such Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as permitted or required by law. To the extent that you provide Personal Information of another individual to Axess, you represent that you have the necessary consent or authority to permit us to collect, use and disclose such Personal Information for the purposes set out in this Policy.

Axess collects, uses and discloses Personal Information primarily to provide advice and legal and other services to clients and prospective clients, for administrative and relationship management purposes (including to develop and manage our knowledge management systems, and to market and deliver Axess services) and as otherwise permitted or required by law. We may from time to time use third party service providers to perform certain functions for us, such as office services and data processing. In these circumstances, such third party service providers are contractually bound to safeguard the Personal Information transferred to them with measures comparable to that provided by us and described in this Policy and not to retain, use or disclose Personal Information transferred to them for any purpose other than the provision of services to Axess. Personal Information supplied to Axess is confidential and we do not distribute such information to any third party except with your actual or implied consent or as permitted or required by law.
