Visiting Our Websites
You can browse our Website without providing any personal or individually identifiable information. You also may be able to set your browser to reject cookies. If you do that, the Website may be less functional for you.
There are times when you may choose to give us personally identifiable information about you. For example, you may wish to receive e-mails from us, invitations, attend events, or preview new content. We need certain information from you to process your requests, where necessary.

Anonymous visitor-ship data is information about the way a website is used that is not associated with an individual’s identity. We use aggregate anonymous data regarding online behavior to better understand how people use our Website. To that end, we may use aggregated, anonymous online traffic behavior along with information from third parties to track usage trends and thereby improve our Website.

• Your Internet Protocol (IP) address;
• The pages visited on our sites;
• The links clicked on our sites;
• Any products or services you review;

Most Anonymous Data is collected using data collection tools such as web beacons, cookies, embedded web links, and other commonly-used information-gathering tools.

We may use the combined information to:
• Manage the Website;
• Help resolve problems;
• Analyze the use of the Website; and
If we combine Anonymous Data with personally identifiable information, we will treat the combined data as personally identifiable information under this Privacy Policy.
Information Security
We may recommend or require the use of encryption technologies for certain types of communications conducted through the Website. While we may provide those technologies and use other reasonable precautions to protect confidential information and provide suitable security, we do not guarantee that information transmitted through the Internet is secure, or that such transmissions will be free from delay, interruption, interception or error.
Disclosure of Information
General Shale will not release any personally identifiable information to third parties without your consent except as follows:
• Anyone providing us their personally identifiable information grants General Shale and its affiliates the right to use their information internally without restrictions for, but not limited to, research, marketing, and content and lead development. If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can opt-out as described below.
• General Shale may share information we collect with our third-party marketing partners. If we do so, we will request that they treat this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, including the “opt-out” procedures described below, and to refrain from disclosing or using your personally identifiable information for purposes other than for the provision of services to you or the benefit of General Shale. Our third-party marketing partners may also send you special promotions and offers for related services, at their sole discretion.

o To regulators;
o To law enforcement authorities who subpoena it or in the event there is a question of harm;
