We may, however, require it to download documents, access account information and take advantage of certain other features of our site. Non-personal information is information that does not directly identify an individual visitor and may include content accessed, browser settings and demographics. Additionally, non-personal information includes collective information that relates to a group or category of services or visitors, from which personal data characteristics have been removed.
We use the information for such purposes as processing and responding to requests, improving our operations, improving our content, recruiting and communicating with visitors about our programs and services. External service providers participate in some of these activities, but we do not sell or rent personal information to unrelated businesses for direct marketing purposes.
The information may be stored and processed in any country where SCI America has activities or where SCI America has engaged a service provider. Additionally, SCI America may transfer information to other individual companies in the SCI family for processing and/or use consistent with this Privacy Policy. Therefore, by using the site, you consent to the transfer and use of information outside of your country of residence.
