This contact information is voluntarily provided by Company members. Members may, at any time, be taken off The Company’s mailing lists at their request.
Through external merchants, The Company offers various services to its members. Members who chose to participate in these programs should refer directly to the privacy policies of the sponsoring companies. The Company does not collect, use or retain any personal information from these programs.
Consent
The Company seeks consent for all personal information it collects, uses and discloses through information provided to individuals prior to collection, or at the time of collection.
If you have voluntarily provided information, you have consented to the collection, use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information as described in this Privacy Policy. As required, The Company will not use personal information for any purpose other than that for which you consented. Should The Company require personal information for a new purpose, we will contact you to seek consent for that new use.
Limits for Collecting, Using, Disclosing and Keeping Personal Information
The Company does not collect, use or disclose personal information of individuals except when individuals give consent and provide the information on a voluntary basis. There may be occasions where more specific personal information is necessary for us to proceed with a request for information, or provide you with a product or service. In such cases, we will provide you with a description on the information we need. In all cases, The Company limits the amount and type of information collected to only the personal information that is required to provide the individual with the requested information, product, or service. We collect only information that is voluntarily provided by you and undertake that such information will be kept strictly confidential.
The Company will not use or disclose personal information without the knowledge or consent of the individual except as authorized by applicable law.
The Company retains personal information only as long as is necessary to provide the individual with the requested product, service or information. In some cases, however, legal reporting and retention requirements necessitate that The Company retain information for a specific amount of time. In general, The Company retains information for a period not longer than seven years in secure storage.
The Company does not sell or trade any personal information with third parties. The Company may transfer information to service providers where information processing is outsourced by The Company in the course of its activities or administrative procedures in specific cases. Where personal information is transferred to a service provider for processing, we require the service provider to respect this Privacy Policy and we restrict them from using or disclosing personal information transferred to them for any purpose other than the provision of services to us.
Any personal information that The Company retains is kept in such a manner as to ensure its security and confidentiality at all times.
Safeguarding Personal Information
The Company respects the privacy of its members, partners, potential web site visitors and Internet users and will protect that privacy as vigorously as possible. We store personal information in electronic and physical files that are secure. Our security measures include secure locks on filing cabinets, using industry standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection and restricted access to records and to equipment, including computers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us electronically. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via e-mail. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best efforts to ensure its security on our servers.
