ADBCCRO's Privacy Policy
This document sets forth the ADBCCRO's Online Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) for this web site, www.adbccro.com (the “Site”). If you have objections to the Privacy Policy, you should not access or use this Site. This Privacy Policy does not govern privacy practices associated with offline activities.
ADBCCRO adheres to the European Union Safe Harbor principles as set forth by the United States Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from the European Union.
Changes in Privacy Policy
All “personal information” ("personal information" is defined as any information
that identifies or can be used to identify, contact or locate the person to whom
such information pertains) that we collect and maintain will be subject to the
version of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of such collection. ADBCCRO
reserves the right to change the Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole
discretion, and will provide notice of material changes on the homepage of the
Site. If as the result of such changes, you want to alter the ways in which
ADBCCRO is allowed to use your personal information, you can do so by following
the procedure described below in the section entitled “Updating your Personal
Information and Privacy Preferences. You will be deemed to have been made aware
of, and will be subject to, the changes to the Privacy Policy by your continued
use of the Site after such notice has been posted for thirty (30) days with the
following exception: if at the time you provide personal information to ADBCCRO
you are given the opportunity (as you currently are) to limit how such
information will be used to communicate with you, either by ADBCCRO or by third
parties, ADBCCRO will not change your preference in this regard without your
express consent. However, if ADBCCRO sells assets (or the assets of a division
or subsidiary) to another entity, or ADBCCRO(or a division or subsidiary) is
acquired by or merged with, another entity, ADBCCRO may provide to such entity
customer information that is related to that part of our business that was sold
to or merged with the other entity without your consent.
Entities Collecting Personal Information
Personal information on this Site is collected by ADB Consulting & CRO Inc. Our
address is privacy@adbccro.com and
telephone number is (877) 232-2276.
The Site contains links to other sites at which personal information is collected. In such instances, unless expressly provided to the contrary, the collection and use of your personal information will be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that site. That privacy policy should identify the entity that is collecting your personal information.
Collection of Personal Information
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing
any personal information. In connection with other activities, ADBCCRO may ask
you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting
an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities.
If you elect to engage in these activities, however, ADBCCRO may ask that you
provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing
address (including zip code), e-mail address, employer, job title and
department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal information.
When ordering products or services on the Site, you may be asked to provide a
credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we
ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do
not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will
not be able to engage in that activity.
When you use the Site, ADBCCRO or third parties authorized by ADBCCRO may also collect certain technical and routing information about your computer to facilitate your use of the Site and its services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of your computer. We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track your use of the Site and its services. ADBCCRO also uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Site. Without expressly informing you in each particular circumstance, we do not match such information with any of your personal information.
ADBCCRO has established relationships with various service providers whose services are available to you from this Site or from web sites that are linked to this Site. Typically, these providers offer services that ADBCCRO customers might find useful, such as those that can be used in conjunction with ADBCCRO services and products. In order to use those services, you may be required to provide personal information to the providers. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, personal information that you provide while you are visiting a provider’s web site will be subject to the privacy policy posted on such site and personal information that you provide while on this Site in conjunction with a provider’s service will be subject to this Privacy Policy. You should be aware that our agreements with these service providers often provide that they will share with ADBCCRO personal information collected from you. In such instances, ADBCCRO may use this information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. In the situation where sites have an ADBCCRO “look and feel,” and you reasonably believe you are on an ADBCCRO site, the site is collecting information in a solely intermediary capacity and does not use personal information for secondary purposes.
In order to reduce errors in our database, authenticate our users and prevent abuse of our system we may on occasion supplement the personal information you submit to us with information from third party sources. For example, we may supplement your registration information with address information provided by the U.S. Postal Service to qualify your information and prevent errors in our database.
How your Personal Information is Used
ADBCCRO collects your information in order to record and support your
participation in the activities you select. If you subscribe to a service or
register a product, for example, the information is used to register your
rights, if any, to technical support or other benefits that may be made
available to registered users. As another example, if you enter a contest,
information is collected to qualify the entry and contact you regarding the
contest or prize awards. Your personal information is also used to keep you
informed about product upgrades, special offers, and other products and services
of ADBCCRO and selected third parties if you have so opted to receive such
communications.
ADBCCROmay collect information about the use of the Site; such as the types of services used and how many users we receive daily. This information is collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually. ADBCCROmay use this aggregate, non-identifying statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing or similar promotional purposes.
Your Choices with Respect to Personal Information
ADBCCRO recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use of
information collected on this Site. Without your consent, ADBCCRO will not
communicate any information to you regarding products, services and special
offers available from ADBCCRO, although we may find it necessary to communicate
with you regarding your use of the services on this Site. Except in the
particular circumstances described in this Privacy Policy, ADBCCRO will also not
provide your name to other companies or organizations without your consent.
There are other instances in which ADBCCRO may divulge your personal information. ADBCCRO may provide your personal information if necessary, in ADBCCRO’s good faith judgement, to comply with laws or regulations of a governmental or regulatory body or in response to a valid subpoena, warrant or order or to protect the rights of ADBCCRO or others.
Protection of Your Personal Information
The personal information that you provide in connection with registering
yourself as a user of ADBCCRO products or services or registering an ADBCCRO
product is classified as Registration Information. Registration Information is
protected in several ways. Access by you to your Registration Information is
available through a password and unique email address given by you. This
password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to
anyone. In addition, your Registration Information resides on a secure server
that only selected ADBCCRO personnel and contractors have access to via
password. ADBCCRO encrypts your personal information and thereby strives to
prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is
transmitted to ADBCCRO.
Personal information that you provide that does not constitute Registration Information also resides on a secure server and is only accessible to selected ADBCCRO personnel and contractors via password. Since this information is not accessible by you, you will not be asked to select a password in order to view or modify such information.
