3. Privacy Policy
Prodiance Corporation recognizes the need to protect information gathered from visitors. For this reason, we have implemented a Privacy Policy. Under our policy, Personally Identifiable Information – email addresses, employment status, comments, and “click stream” data, which track how a person uses an online service – compiled from users to our blog will be carefully stored to ensure a safe Internet environment.
Prodiance’s policy is that it will not sell personal and/or professional information to third parties. However, it may share some aggregate (i.e. total visitors to the site), not personal, information with its customers, professional, and marketing organizations, which in Prodiance’s judgment, have a legitimate need for such data, and which are committed to the preservation of online user privacy.
Prodiance will remove any registrant information volunteered by users, including full name and user name, from its database upon request from the registrant to contact@prodiance.com.

You are prohibited from posting or transmitting to or from this blog any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, or other material that would violate any law. Prodiance retains the right to remove such messages, comments and feedback deemed unacceptable.
Prodiance may, but is not obligated to, monitor or review any areas on the blog where users transmit or post comments or communicate solely with each other. Prodiance, however, will have no liability related to the content of any such Communications, whether or not arising under the laws of copyright, libel, privacy, obscenity, or otherwise.
