There may be times (such as when you place an order or request support) when we ask for you provide certain information about yourself, such as your name, shipping/billing address, telephone number, email address, credit card information, birth date, gender, occupation, etc. We also maintain a record of your online purchases. Whether or not you provide such information is completely your own choice. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to complete a purchase or access certain services, offers and content provided on the Group III Computing website.

Passive Information gathered might include the date and time of visits, the site pages viewed, time spent at our site, the sites visited just before and just after our site.
