We do not share with unrelated third parties any Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us. By “unrelated third parties” we mean anyone who is not directly involved in the maintenance or running of our Site, or not involved in fulfilling requests you make at our Site, or not within KG's corporate family. We use Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us when you visit our Site strictly for the purposes for which you have provided it. For example, if you request to receive more detailed, project-specific information, and you provide us with contact information (which may include Personally Identifiable Information, such as an e-mail address, mailing address, or phone number), we will use that information to contact you regarding your request or to send you the information. If, at any time, you decide you no longer wish to receive such information, simply notify us to that effect (for contact information, see section below entitled “How To Contact Us”). In the event that KG desires to assign or transfer your Personally Identifiable Information and its rights hereunder to a third party, you agree that KG may do so, on the condition that such third party agree to abide by this Privacy Policy. KG, however, cannot and does not guarantee or warrant that such third party will in fact abide by KG's Privacy Policy, and KG expressly disclaims any such obligations.
