Personal information choices
When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration, we ask you to provide personal information. If we use that information in a way that is not as described in this Privacy Policy or for the purposes for which it was collected, we will ask for your consent before using it.
If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of having personal information used for those other purposes. We will not collect or use Confidential Personal Information unless you voluntarily post such information, which we discourage.

These include internal audits of our collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to protect against unauthorized access to systems where personal data is stored.
Data integrity
SWFleda only processes personal information for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with that privacy. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process personal information necessary to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete and up to date, but we rely on our users to update or correct their personal information as necessary.
