AcademyOne is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology
that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of
Privacy applies to the AcademyOne Web site and governs data collection and
usage. By using the AcademyOne website, you consent to the data practices
described in this statement.
Collection of your
Personal Information
AcademyOne collects personally identifiable
information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or
telephone number. AcademyOne also collects anonymous demographic information,
which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences,
interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer
hardware and software that is automatically collected by AcademyOne. This
information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access
times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by AcademyOne
for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to
provide general statistics regarding use of the AcademyOne Web
site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally
identifiable information or personally sensitive data through AcademyOne public
message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note:
AcademyOne does not read any of your private online
communications.
AcademyOne encourages you to review the privacy
statements of Web sites you choose to link to from AcademyOne so that you can
understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information.
AcademyOne is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web
sites outside of the AcademyOne and AcademyOne family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
AcademyOne collects
and uses your personal information to operate the AcademyOne Web site and
deliver the services you have requested. AcademyOne also uses your personally
identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available
from AcademyOne and its affiliates. AcademyOne may also contact you via surveys
to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new
services that may be offered.
AcademyOne does not sell, rent or lease its
customer lists to third parties. AcademyOne may, from time to time, contact you
on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be
of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable
information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the
third party. In addition, AcademyOne may share data with trusted partners to
help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide
customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are
prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services
to AcademyOne, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your
information.
AcademyOne does not use or disclose sensitive personal
information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your
explicit consent.
AcademyOne keeps track of the Web sites and pages our
customers visit within AcademyOne, in order to determine what AcademyOne
services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content
and advertising within AcademyOne to customers whose behavior indicates that
they are interested in a particular subject area.
AcademyOne Web sites
will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do
so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a)
conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on
AcademyOne or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of
AcademyOne; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of users of AcademyOne, or the public.
Use of
Cookies
The AcademyOne Web site use "cookies" to help you
personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on
your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can
only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to
you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that
you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize AcademyOne
pages, or register with AcademyOne site or services, a cookie helps AcademyOne
to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the
process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses,
shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same AcademyOne Web site,
the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use
the AcademyOne features that you customized.
You have the ability to
accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but
you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If
you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the
interactive features of the AcademyOne services or Web sites you
visit.
Security of your Personal
Information
AcademyOne secures your personal information from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. AcademyOne secures the personally
identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure
environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When
personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web
sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this
Statement
AcademyOne will occasionally update this Statement of
Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. AcademyOne encourages you to
periodically review this Statement to be informed of how AcademyOne is
protecting your information.
