  1. Types of Information We Collect

We collect two types of information: Personal Information and “Other Information.” Personal Information is information that relates to you as an identifiable specific individual. Other Information is any information that cannot be tied back to you as a specific individual.

We may collect the following Personal Information:

  • First and Last Name
  • Email Address
  • IP Address
  • Mailing Address
  • Phone Number
  • Job Title

We may collect the following Other Information:

  • Browser information
  • Information collected through cookies and other technologies

  • Aggregated information

 

  1. How We Collect Information

We collect information from you in the following ways:

We collect information directly from you. We collect information from you when you access or use the Website. We also collect information when you communicate with us via email, register for a webinar, join a mailing list, or sign up for notifications of other events or webinars.

We collect information from you passively. We use tracking tools such as browser cookies. We collect information about you over time when you access or use the Website.

For example:

  • When you visit the Website, we may collect and store information that is automatically generated, including your IP address, your browser type, the computer or device being used, information about the type of internet connection being used, and other usage statistics. We may use this information, in combination with other information about you, to administer the Website, personalize your online experience, and enhance our ability to serve you.
  • We use the following technologies to collect information about you:
    • Cookies – When you visit the Website, we leave a “cookie” in the memory of your web browser. The Website will function properly only if cookies are enabled. The Website uses cookies to authenticate you as a user and display content that is relevant and specific to you. Cookies are very small files that store information about your visit to and use of the Website. Most sites use cookies because they store information that is reusable each time you visit the Website. Cookies cannot access and read the files on your hard drive. They do allow us to provide information and services that are more meaningful to you without asking you the same questions every time you visit the Website. We also use cookies to track your visit to the Website to collect aggregate data. We hope you will want the better service that cookies allow, but if you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies. However, doing that may affect your ability to use some of the features available on the Website.
    • Internet Log Files – PHAR and our third-party web analytics partners may maintain log files that contain IP addresses. An IP address is a numeric address that may be assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. In general, we use log files to monitor traffic on the Website and to troubleshoot technical problems.

 

  1. How We Use Information

We may use the information we collect to process a transaction; provide services you request; improve the Website; administer the Website; communicate with you; enhance your online experience; and for our marketing and promotional purposes.  We may combine information about you that we collect online and from-third party sources.

Examples of how we use information include:

Transactional Purposes: We may share information with any successor to all or part of our business. For example, if we sold part of our business, we may share our customer list as part of that transaction.

Analytical Purposes: We use your information, internet browsing history, and activity to analyze statistics, various trends, and your browsing preferences.

Maintenance and Improvement of Website: We use your information, internet browsing history, and activity to help maintain the overall functionality of the Website, including the diagnosis of technical and service issues.

Marketing and Promotional Purposes: We use your information, internet browsing history, and activity to inform you of our webinars and to give you personalized marketing and promotional communications.

Fraud Prevention and Security: We use your information, internet browsing history, and activity to protect the Website, our company, and others, from fraud and for security purposes.

 

  1. How We May Disclose Information

We may disclose your information only with your permission.

We may share your information with our third-party vendors and service providers (such as our third-party email marketing service provider) to process webinar registrations, administer the Website, and develop and improve our services.  Additionally, if you choose to Opt-in, we may share your information with third parties for their advertising, marketing, or promotional purposes.  You may Opt-out at any time by using the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any marketing email you receive from us. Please note that opting out will not apply to any communications from third parties to whom we may have already provided information about you.

When you access or use the Website and sign up for email marketing lists, you will have a double Opt-in process. The first Opt-in signifies your understanding of the sign-up disclosure terms. After opting in and signing up, a verification link will be sent to your email that you will need to click to signify your second Opt-in. You will be added to an email marketing list only after you complete the second Opt-in.

We may also access, use, preserve, transfer, and disclose your information to comply with legal obligations, including disclosure to third parties such as government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we reasonably determine is necessary and appropriate:  (i) to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, subpoena, governmental request, or legal process; (ii) to protect and defend the Privacy Policy, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (iii) to protect the safety, rights, property, or security of you, PHAR, or any third party; (iv) to protect the safety of the public; (v) to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; and (vi) to prevent activity we consider to be illegal, unethical, or legally actionable.  We may make such disclosures without notice to you.

You may make a verifiable request to exercise the following rights, free of charge to you, twice in a 12-month period, and we are obligated to respond within a period of 45 days, taking a 45-day extension only after notifying you. For example, if you exercise your right to “Access” you may do so only twice in a 12-month period. You may not exercise your right to “Access” multiple times, by combining your request with other rights.
