CHG collects “Personal Information” from users (“Users” or “you”) who register for the Service or request information about the Services such as name, address, phone number, and email address. For example, you provide us with Personal Information when you register for an account or contact us by email. We also automatically receive and record information from your browser, including your IP address and cookies. The Personal Information collected is used for billing, identification, authentication, service improvement, research, and contact. However, we reserve the right to capture usage data for diagnostic purposes, including, but not limited to, IP addresses and geolocation data.

Consent

By using or accessing the Services, you consent to the use and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. Your Personal Information will not be used for any other purpose or disclosed further without your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time but withdrawing consent may result in your inability to continue using certain features of the Services.

By submitting your personal data to us, you will be treated as having given your permission – where necessary and appropriate – for disclosures referred to in this policy. Under no circumstances will CHG sell, distribute or otherwise disclose personal information or contact lists to third parties. However, limited disclosure may be required as part of CHG fulfilling its stated business duties and day-to-day operations. This may include consultants, suppliers, or business partners of CHG, but only with the understanding that these parties obey and abide by this Privacy Policy, to the extent necessary of fulfilling their own business duties and day-to-day operations.

Please be assured that we will not use your information for any purposes if you have indicated that you do not wish us to use your information in this way when submitting the information.

If a verified representative of the User requests that we take down their profile, we will do so within a reasonable period of time.

Third Party Sites & Links

The Services may include links to third-party websites and advertisements.
