PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE
We consistently strive to develop new and innovative products and services as part
of our commitment to better serve our customers. We recognize that privacy is an
important issue, so we operate ourselves in a manner consistent with the protection
of your privacy. We developed this Privacy Policy pursuant to applicable law regarding
the collection and use of Personally Identifying Information (defined below) in
those jurisdictions where we do business. This Privacy Policy outlines the types
of Personally Identifying Information we gather when you use the Advanced Insights
web site, how we use that information, as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard
it. We urge you to read the Privacy Policy in its entirety and hope it will help
you make an informed decision about sharing your Personally Identifying Information
with us.
This privacy policy is effective as of January 1, 2007. Advanced Insights reserves
the right to change this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically
for changes. Your continued use of the Advanced Insights’ services following the
posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept these changes. Advanced Insights
will take reasonable measures to notify you if there is a material change in our
privacy practices with respect to use of the information you have provided to Advanced
Insights. Advanced Insights will conspicuously post these changes in our Privacy
Policy and on our Website. These postings will occur on the Advanced Insights website
at least 30 days prior to any material change. If you have any questions about this
privacy statement, the Advanced Insights practices, or feel that your privacy has
been compromised, please contact us at rhondaw@advanced-insights.net.
Your privacy on the Internet is important to Advanced Insights. As part of the operation
of Advanced Insights, certain pieces of information are gathered about the users
registering to gain access to the site (individually, a “Registrant” and collectively,
“Registrants”). This privacy policy contains explanations regarding the types of
information collected, what is done with such information, and how to correct or
change the information.
By registering on the site, you are agreeing to receive targeted marketing via email
from Advanced Insights and its affiliates and you consent to Advanced Insights employing
its information collecting techniques in its continuing efforts to better serve
you. If, after you have registered and consented to this privacy policy, you no
longer wish to receive such marketing emails or do not consent to its information
collecting techniques, please see the "opt-out" section below. Except as set forth
in the "Limits of Confidentiality" section below, we do not use information about
users for any purposes unrelated to the services offered by the Advanced Insights.
GENERAL PRIVACY PRINCIPLES
Accountability:
Advanced Insights is responsible for your Personally Identifying Information under
its control. Advanced Insights has appointed an officer who is accountable for Advanced
Insights’ compliance with this privacy policy. Rhonda Weeks has been designated
Advanced Insights’ privacy officer in connection with this privacy policy. Rhonda
Weeks can be reached by telephone at 216.360.9100, by email at rhondaw@advanced-insights.net
or by regular mail at 12061 Lake Ave., Lakewood, OH 44107.
Identifying Purposes:
"Personally Identifying Information" is information that individually identifies
you, such as your name, company name, physical address, phone numbers, email address
and any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact you. Advanced
Insights asks for your Personally Identifying Information so that it can understand
your needs, determine if Advanced Insights’ products and services meet your needs,
inform you about its products and services that it believes may be of interest to
you, or comply with the law. Of course, you may choose not to provide Advanced Insights
with Personally Identifying Information. However, this choice may prevent Advanced
Insights from providing you with the product, service or information you requested
or that could be offered to you. Our server does not automatically record Personally
Identifying Information. Such information can become known to Advanced Insights
via its websites only when you voluntarily submit it.
Consent:
Your knowledge and consent are required for the collection, use, or disclosure of
your Personally Identifying Information. No information is collected without your
express consent.
Limiting Collection:
Advanced Insights only collects the information that it needs in order to deliver
products, services and information to you.
Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention:
Advanced Insights does not use or disclose your Personally Identifying Information
for purposes other than those for which it was collected or as set forth in this
privacy policy, except as otherwise set forth in this privacy policy under the heading
Limits of Confidentiality, or as required by law. Your Personally Identifying Information
is retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes or as
required by law.
Accuracy:
Your Personally Identifying Information is kept as accurately and completely as
is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used. You have the right to
update, modify, amend or correct errors in your Personally Identifying Information
by contacting Advanced Insights.
Safeguards:
Advanced Insights protects your Personally Identifying Information by using safeguards
that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. Each of our employees
who has access to your Personally Identifying Information is informed about our
Privacy Policy and procedures for protecting Personally Identifying Information.
Advanced Insights undertakes substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality
of the identity, preferences and other information it has collected about individual
Registrants and, except as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy, will not
knowingly allow access to this information to anyone outside Advanced Insights as
described below under the heading Limits of Confidentiality. Advanced Insights has
made a substantial investment in its server, database, backup and firewall technologies
to protect our information assets, including the confidentiality of information
collected about Registrants. These technologies are deployed as part of a sophisticated
security architecture and protocol.
You should also do your part in protecting your information. Your user name and
password are confidential and we recommend that you not divulge them to anyone.
Unfortunately, neither Advanced Insights’ network nor data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect
Registrant's information, the Advanced Insights cannot ensure or warrant the security
of member information. Thus, any information a Registrant transmits to us is done
so at the Registrant's own risk. Once we receive Registrant information, we undertake
substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality of this information consistent
with this Policy.
Openness:
Advanced Insights will make its complete policies and practices relating to the
management of your Personally Identifying Information readily available to you.
Access:
Upon request in writing, either by email or letter, you will be informed of the
existence, use or disclosure of your Personally Identifying Information and you
will be given access to that information. Advanced Insights will assist any customer
who informs us that they need assistance in preparing a request concerning Personally
Identifying Information. You may also challenge, in writing either by email or letter,
the accuracy and completeness of the information and have it amended as appropriate,
or request that Advanced Insights delete or correct any Personally Identifying Information
contained in your file.
Challenging Compliance:
You may address any challenge concerning our compliance with this privacy policy
to Rhonda Weeks at rhondaw@advanced-insights.net, or by regular mail at 12061 Lake
Ave., Lakewood, OH 44107.
