prior consent, by email, for any new uses or
proposed disclosures of information collected
from the customer prior to the change.
IDE will
notify customers by email
of
changes to this policy that will affect

site, products or services, or anyone else that
could be harmed by such activities;

reasons or to prove IDE’s compliance with any
applicable law.

aspect of a customer’s personal information, it
will provide reasons for denying access such
as; that by doing so would likely reveal
personal information about a third party, or
that it is confidential commercial information
or attorney–client privileged communications,
