Any information users provide will only be used for the primary purposes for which users have provided it or a secondary purpose if it directly relates to the primary purpose or for any other lawful purpose.

Dr Ameratunga engages third parties or consultants to perform certain business functions.  Therefore, it may be necessary to disclose personal site user information to those suppliers.  Disclosures may also be made to other third parties, including advisors and regulatory authorities.
