Collection of Information
FSE collects information from our users when they register to gain access to our services or at other specific instances when they are requested to provide us with their personal and business information. During registration, we ask all users for their name, business title, E-mail address, business information and other trade-oriented details. Once a user registers, he/she is no longer anonymous to First Source Engineering and it is deemed that the user has given FSE the right to publish the desired business and trade-oriented details throughout its marketplaces, including but not limited to business directory, trade leads, catalogs etc.
When you come on our network and are asked for personal information, you are sharing the information with FSE alone, unless we specifically state otherwise. Promotions that run on our network may be sponsored by companies other than FSE or may be co-sponsored by FSE along with another company. Some or all the data collected during a promotion may be shared with the sponsor. However, you can certainly decide not to participate in the promotion if you don't want your data to be shared.
As part of the browsing process, we also gather usage statistics such as pages viewed, number of unique visitors, browser software, screen resolution etc. for analysis. This information helps improve the overall user experience and the services we provide.

Business information is used to display the user's business listing or product offerings across our network in order to secure maximum business opportunities for the user.
In order that we can provide free services, FSE displays advertisements based upon the site usage statistics and visitor trends. FSE uses user's trade-oriented and business information to provide targeted advertisements through our websites, newsletters and customized mailers.

FSE takes necessary steps, within our limits of commercial viability and necessity, to ensure that the user's information is treated securely.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
