Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and

and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services.
These companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable

to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services,
we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for
the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed
to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing
these services. Field Controls, LLC reserves the right to perform statistical
analyses and profiling of user behavior and characteristics in order to
measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform
third parties of such information. Field Controls, LLC will provide only

when you access a specific area of our site, the system will transfer
