    In all cases Acuity requires all unaffiliated third parties to treat personal information as confidential. Acuity will not provide personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.
    If you participate in a discussion or provide comments related to Acuity on a social media or other public platform, you should be aware that the information will be made broadly available to others, and could be used to contact you, send you unsolicited messages, or for purposes neither Acuity nor you have control over.
