We dislike spam, popups, telemarketing, and "traditional" junk mail as much as you do. We value our privacy on the internet just like you value yours. We'll do our best to make sure that when you are on our web Site, we don't contribute to any of this crap. Period.
Your privacy is very important to us. We won't sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties for marketing or any other purposes. Ever. Please read through this Privacy Policy for details on the information that we do collect as you enjoy our Site and how we protect that information from everyone else.
If you have any questions after reading this policy, please send them to privacy@certes.net and we will get back to you as quickly as we can.
The privacy practices of this statement apply to our services available under the domain and sub-domains of certes.net (the "Site"). By visiting this web Site you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree please do not use or access our Site.
We collect information that will make your experience on the Site more enjoyable and will allow you to use the services that we offer. This information is collected in several main groups which are outlined below:
We collect basic, anonymous information about all users that access the Site through server access logs. This includes click-stream data (the path you took through the Site), HTTP protocol elements (such as the site that you came from and your IP address), and search terms that led you to the Site.
We use this information to do internal research on our users' behavior to better understand, protect and serve you and our community.
We do not share any of this information that we collect with third parties. Period.
We do use cookies on various pages throughout the Site to help tailor your experience on the Site to your liking. We do not use cookies to track personal information or the path that you take through our Site. Further, we will not set a cookie without direct interaction by you our users, such as selecting an item from a list, clicking on a button, or choosing a Site setting using another method.
We do not share any cookie information with third parties. Period.
Some of the pages on the Site contain advertisements from third parties. Unfortunately we are unable to control cookies set by these advertisements but we will never share any of the information that you enter on our Site with these third parties.
In select cases we will gather personal information about you as you interact with the Site. These cases will be obvious to you in that you will always enter this information before we collect it - for instance we may collect your email address if you explicitly sign up for a newsletter, or we may collect your purchase information if you explicitly purchase or subscribe to one of our products.
We won't ever directly collect financial or credit card information from you on our Site. We use third party sites for all payment processing, so you should regard any requests for financial information from our Site to be a breech of this contract and contact privacy@certes.net immediately.
We will never share any of the personal information that we gather from you with anyone. Further, we will never use the personal information ourselves for any purpose other than what you designated when you gave it to us. We hate spam as much (or maybe even more) than you do, and we wont have any part of it.
We will only ever use the information that we collect from you in accordance with the information presented above. If you sign up for newsletters, we'll send them to you. If you sign up for other services, we will provide you with those services. That's it, end of story.
We do not ever sell or rent any of the information about you to third parties. Period.
To change any of the information that you enter on our Site, please email us and let us know how that information should change.
If at any time you would like to discontinue using the Site or our services, you may send an email to privacy@certes.net and we will promptly deactivate any accounts that you have with us.
On deactivation of your account, we may retain in our files some personal information you have requested to remove to prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, and comply with legal requirements as is permitted by law. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personal information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests. However, such personal information will be deactivated and will only be available to select Certes Consulting personal.
Updates to this Privacy Policy may be made at any time. It is always available for you to review at http://www.certes.net/privacy/privacy.htm, and we encourage you to check it on a regular basis. Any changes to this policy will automatically take effect 30 days after they are posted to the location above.
