We may collect your personal information from other sources, for example from a credit reporting agency, market research organizations, third party service providers, joint venture partners and related parties, and publically available sources of information such as telephone directories or social media communities.

However, we will retain documents (including electronic documents) containing personal information:

We protect your personal information by limiting physical access to our premises to authorized people, entering into confidentiality arrangements with our employees and contractors who have access to personal information and by maintaining IT security and backup measures.
