Privacy Policy
Welcome to Pindar PLC websites. At Pindar PLC, we value your trust in our site and in our products and services. Preserving your privacy and the integrity of our site, products and services is our highest priority. We have implemented this Privacy Policy to help you understand how and why we collect information from you and how we use it. Our policies and systems are designed to give you a private, secure means of communicating with us and using our site.
Bear in mind that we may revise this Privacy Policy at any time without notice to you, and for this reason we encourage you to review this Policy whenever you use this site. Your continued use of this site after the effective date of any posted change constitutes your acceptance of the Policy as modified. If you have any questions regarding our Privacy Policy or any other questions regarding this website, please contact Pindar PLC at webmaster@pindar.com. 1. What Information May We Collect from You?
We may ask you for personally identifiable information (such as name and email address) when you join our site, visit certain areas, complete surveys, submit content, take tests, enroll in courses, subscribe to a newsletter, or ask us for additional information. We collect personally identifiable information from you only when you voluntarily submit it. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better experience and value the website will be able to offer you. Providing personally identifiable information is not required for visiting our site. You can choose not to provide this information and still visit our site, but you may not be able to utilize certain features and functions. In order to use certain portions of our site and to enroll for courses, you will be asked to give us contact information (such as your name, e-mail address, user name, and area (school) of interest). We may also ask for demographic information such as other interests and referral source, but you submit this information at your sole option. In order to enroll for courses, you will need to provide us billing information, physical address (street address, city, state, zip, country), daytime phone, course selection, and some other information. Occasionally, we may ask our users to participate in surveys that we use for research purposes. We may also collect non-personally-identifiable information such as the operating system and browser in use. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. 2. What are Cookies and How Does Pindar PLC Use Them?In order to provide personalized custom services, this website may use cookies to track information about you. A cookie is a tiny element of data that the site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so that we can recognize you when you return. Cookies are generally accepted in nearly all leading websites to enhance the user's experience. We use the information we collect from cookies to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and others may see on this site. You may be able to set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, or to refuse to accept them entirely. 3. Who is Collecting Information?When you visit this site or any Pindar PLC' website and are asked for personal information, unless specifically stated otherwise, the information is being collected by Pindar PLC. This site may contain links to other sites that collect personal information. These links are provided for your convenience. When you use another site, we cannot guarantee that the other site will adhere to a similar privacy policy. You should refer to the policies posted on these other sites regarding privacy and other policies before you use them. 4. How Do We Use the Information We Collect?We use this information to contact you when necessary, and to alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information, and new products and services. You may opt-out of receiving mailings; for more information about opting out, see #7, below. We use the aggregate non-personally-identifiable to measure the use of our site and to improve its content, products and services. We may also use the personal information you provide to understand the use of our site and make improvements, and to protect the security and integrity of our site when necessary. We also use visitor login information to help us ensure that our members only see and use appropriate areas of our Web sites. 5. With Whom Do We Share Your Information?Other than as provided in this Privacy Policy, Pindar PLC will generally not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except where we have your permission to do so. We may, however, disclose account information in special cases where we believe it is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our website terms of use, our policies or other agreements, or may be causing injury to or interference with Pindar PLC' rights or property, other Pindar PLC' website users or anyone else that may be harmed by such activities. We may also disclose your information when we believe in good faith that the law requires us to do so. Pindar PLC will take reasonable measures to keep third parties from obtaining unauthorized access to Technical Support Requests (TSR) that you submit using the Pindar PLC Support website. However, Pindar PLC does not guarantee that third parties will not have access to any information, comments, feedback or materials that you submit. 6. What are Your Choices Regarding Collection, Use and Distribution of Your Information?Pindar PLC may send you email or other communications regarding our products and services, or other products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. If you do not want to receive such communications, simply let us know. You can e-mail your request to webmaster@pindar.com 7. What Security Precautions Are in Place to Protect the Loss or Alteration of Your Information?Pindar PLC strives to maintain a highly secure environment for our users, and we've installed a number of safeguards. Your Pindar PLC account is password-protected so that only you and those you authorize have access to this personal information. We recommend that you not divulge your password to anyone, and you should be aware that Pindar PLC will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call. We have implemented market-leading firewall technology in order to secure our users' data from unauthorized access through the Internet. We also utilize industry-standard encryption technology. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed as 100% secure. Therefore, Pindar PLC cannot warrant the security of information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. 8. What about Third Party Websites?For your convenience, this site may contain links to other sites of third parties. Pindar PLC is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those other sites. We encourage you to regularly review the privacy policies of any sites you visit.
