What information does TGI Inc. gather/track and how is it used?
Information gathered online is usually categorized in one of two ways, either as anonymous or personally identifiable.

Personally identifiable information is information you have provided that gives us specific facts about you so that we can evaluate your product needs and customize your order. This information can include, but is not limited to, your name, your company name, address, zip code, phone number, etc. We believe that in order to provide you with quality product recommendations you will find it beneficial to provide us with personal information so that your experience with TGI Inc. is satisfying.
