PRIVACY POLICY

We at Education-IndustryONE value the privacy of our users, members, and others (collectively or individually “Users”) who visit and use www.Education-IndustryONE.org and its associated websites and services (collectively, the “Site”). This statement governs the information Users provide to us or that we learn from User’s use of the Education-IndustryONE Site and tells User how we may collect, use, and. in some instances, share this information.

The Information Education-IndustryONE Collects

User Provided Information: User may provide to Education-IndustryONE what is generally called “personally identifiable” information, such as User’s name, postal mailing address, e-mail address, instant messaging address, personal website, business/mobile telephone number, credit card number, billing information, picture, gender, occupation, birth date, and personal quotations. In addition, Education-IndustryONE may give User the option to provide us with certain demographic information about User.

The Education-IndustryONE Site also allows you to submit information about other people. For example, you might submit a person’s mailing and e-mail address to enroll them in an Education-IndustryONE seminar, or if you order publications online and want them sent directly to the recipient, you might submit the recipient’s name and address. In addition, when Education-IndustryONE members forward Education-IndustryONE seminar invitations to third parties, we may collect certain personally identifiable information from those third parties, such as their email address.

Education-IndustryONE also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit the Web Site, such as the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, and the domain name of your Internet service provider.

“Cookies” Information: When Users visit the Education-IndustryONE Site, we may send one or more cookies – a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to User’s computer. Education-IndustryONE uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after User close User’s browser and may be used by User’s browser on subsequent visits to the Education-IndustryONE Site. By using these cookies, we can “remember” what users have done on the Education-IndustryONE Site before and personalize our site for Users. These persistent types of cookies can be removed. Each web browser implements different functionality, so please refer to the manuals or technical support resources that are available in conjunction with User’s web browser to learn the correct way to modify User’s cookies set-up. Please note that disabling cookies may prevent User from accessing some of the functionality and site offerings available via the Education-IndustryONE Site.

“Automatically Collected” Information: When Users visit the Education-IndustryONE Site or open one of our HTML emails, we may record certain information from User’s web browser by using different types of technology, including “clear gifs” or “web beacons”. This “automatically collected” information may include user’s Internet Protocol address (“IP Address”), web browser type, the web pages or sites that User visit just before or just after the Education-IndustryONE Site, the pages Users view on our site, and the dates and times that User visit.

The Way Education-IndustryONE Uses Information

Agents and contractors of Education-IndustryONE who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for Education-IndustryONE.

Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites and Sponsors

The Web Site may contain links to other sites whose information practices may be different from ours. Users should consult the other sites’ privacy notices as Education-IndustryONE has no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.

The Education-IndustryONE sites covered by this Privacy Notice sometimes may offer content which is co-branded with third parties (the “Co-Branded Content”). By virtue of these relationships, the third parties may obtain personally identifiable information that visitors voluntarily submit to use the Co-Branded Content. Education-IndustryONE has no control over third party use of this information.

Education-IndustryONE may use a reputable third party to present or serve the advertisements that you may see at its Web pages. Our privacy policy does not cover any use of information that a third-party ad server may have collected from you.

We do not share personally identifiable information with other third-party organizations for their marketing or promotional use without User’s consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which User will have the ability to opt-in.

Our Commitment to Data Security

No data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information Users transmit to us and Users do so at user’s own risk. Once we receive User’s transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure security on our systems. We use firewalls to protect User information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software.

If Education-IndustryONE learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify User electronically so that User can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Education-IndustryONE Site or providing personal information to us, User agrees that we can communicate with User electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to User’s use of the Education-IndustryONE Site. Education-IndustryONE may post a notice on the Education-IndustryONE Site if a security breach occurs. If this happens, User will need a web browser enabling User to view Education-IndustryONE’s Service. Education-IndustryONE may also send an email to User at the email address User have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where Education-IndustryONE Users live, User may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive a free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw User’s consent from receiving electronic notice) User should notify us via email at feedback@Education-IndustryONE .org.
