Kerm / Haz / All / Question of Ethics / OFF TOPIC

If I may be allowed some leeway to post a question on ethics on this forum. I look forward to your comments.

In doing DD I decide to email a Company asking specific questions regarding financials, production targets, exploration, mgmt expectations, and so forth... you get the picture.

I get a specific, detailed and informative official reply from a Company officer (investor relations, CFO, etc), by email, to my questions -- BUT also included in the emailed reply is a statement that "this correspondence be regarded as a private communication and it not be used otherwise without my prior approval."

So what gives? Is the information privy or public? What are the ethics of giving me information I may not be able to share if I so choose? What are the ethics of my possible disclosure of this information; information which I only received on the basis of being an interested investor, NOT on any basis of a priviledged or fiduciary relationship?

Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
