We will ask you for basic contact information such as your name, company affiliation, job title, physical mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number.
In the future we anticipate using "cookies" in some areas of our site. A cookie allows our site to store pieces of information in your browser and to give your browser an identifier used only on our site, without identifying you. A cookie tracks navigational habits on a website and thus would allow us to customize services to the interests of the user and to determine which areas of the site are more popular than others.
If you do not want to receive a cookie from hitachiconsulting.com, most browsers can notify you when a cookie is offered and permit you to determine whether to accept it or not. If you are not sure whether your browser has this capability, you can check with the software manufacturer or your Internet service provider.

If you so choose, you will still be able to access and use hitachiconsulting.com.
Disclosure of Information
Hitachi Consulting will not sell, distribute or disclose your personal information, or otherwise share it with a third party. We will not use cookies to collect or distribute information to third parties for any purpose. We will not collect or compile personally identifying information to third parties for unsolicited marketing activities or for consumer marketing initiatives.
If features are added to hitachiconsulting.com that involve the potential sharing of information with third parties to better serve you, we will ask for your express permission first.
The only other circumstance in which we would disclose your personally identifiable information would be if we are required to do so by law through a subpoena, search warrant, court order or other legal process.
