broad demographic information about site users. The general

in aggregate form, about our members and their preferences
regarding the content of the site and the products or services

our discussion groups, on message boards or during any online

questions arise.
Please remember, if you volunteer other personal information
about you in posting messages in our public or private forums
(such as your telephone number or mailing address), that
information is available to all other persons having access
to those forums and may be used by someone in ways unintended

is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against someone who may be causing interference with the
rights or properties of e3Sourcing LLC, whether intentionally
or otherwise; or when anyone else could be harmed by such
activities).
