This is our official Privacy Policy which forms part of your legal agreement with us under our TERMS OF USE. Please read our Privacy Policy carefully to be sure you understand how we collect and use information and under what circumstances we share information.

 

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, add or delete provisions of this Privacy Policy at any time.  We will post the effective date of any change at the top of this Privacy Policy. Your use of our Digital Property after the effective date of any such modification means you accept and agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy, as modified. We urge you to come back to this digital page and review this Privacy Policy regularly so that you remain aware of the terms and conditions that apply to you.


COLLECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information may include information such as your name, postal address, email, and telephone number. You voluntarily provide this information to us, for example, when you register with our Digital Property or make a request for information or services.  We may use this information for purposes including responding to your requests as well as to provide you access to interactive features (i.e., conferences or webinars). See the section entitled How We Use Information for more detail. We do not sell or rent your Personal Information to others except as otherwise disclosed in this policy. If necessary, our Digital Property may collect payment and payment instrument information from you for the purpose of billing you for products, services, or event tickets you purchase through our Digital Property.

 

COLLECTING NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may use third party operational service providers (see Information Sharing below) and technology that can collect and transmit information that is associated with computers and devices that visit our Digital Properties.  Data gathered via these technologies will not personally identify you. Although the term cookie commonly is used to refer to a small text file stored on a computer that can log visits to web sites and/or can contain log-in information so you don’t have to re-enter information each time you visit, we will use the term cookie to refer generically to any technology that can collect or transmit information about visits to our Digital Properties. Cookie information typically includes such data as the referral web domain, the type of operating system and browser you are using, mobile device identifiers, the date and time of your visit, location data, information relating to activities on our Digital Properties (e.g., clickstream data) and other technical attributes of visits to our Digital Properties. We may use the information collected through cookies to analyze trends, administer our Websites, track movements on our Website or applications Digital Properties and gather aggregate demographic information about visitors so we can continually improve our Digital Properties. Cookies store information that allows our Digital Property to recognize a user’s computer or access device each time it is used to visit our Digital Property and cookies can keep count of how often you return to our Digital Property. Cookies can also track how you use our Digital Property, your preferences for features and functions, and can store information such as your log-in information, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you return to our Digital Property. We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer or device for purposes that are unrelated to our Digital Property or your interaction with our Digital Property. You may stop or restrict cookies on your computer or purge them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences and you should consult the operating instructions that apply to your browser for instructions should you wish to do so and in general to determine how best to configure your browser settings to meet your requirements. Note that if you turn off, purge, or disable cookies, although you may still use our Digital Property, you may not be able to use all of the features, functions, or services available on our Digital Property.

 

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

ADVERTISERS, CO-SPONSORS, AND LINKS TO OTHERS
Our Digital Property may contain or display information from sponsors, co-sponsors, advertisers, operational service providers, or others that offer to make information, products, and/or services available, and/or that provide opportunities to participate in promotions or engage in activities or that link or redirect your browser to other websites, web pages, materials, or organizations. We may also use third parties for the purpose of administering, operating, configuring our Digital Property, maintaining and providing internal support for our Digital Property and Content on our Digital Property, to display and serve advertising, for distributing our online, email, messaged, or web-based newsletters and other information. We will refer to these third parties as our operational service providers. Even if we have a relationship with a third party you may encounter or see on our Digital Property, the advertising, links or references to third parties or any of their websites, including any cookies or other technology they may use, are not under our control and they have their own terms, conditions, policies, and practices that apply to you in connection with their websites, including those concerning collection, use and disclosure of your information (including Personal Information). Some Prohaska Consulting services, such as seminars, educational events, conferences, newsletters, and discussion groups, may be co-sponsored in conjunction with other companies that are not under the control of the IAB. Whenever we are involved in the provision of such services, we will disclose the name of our co-sponsor. Co-sponsors of these Prohaska Consulting services are not under our control and when you participate, register, or engage in other online activities related to these co-sponsored Prohaska Consulting Services, you should be aware that you are providing your information, which may include Personal Information, to us and the co-sponsor, and that their policies, practices, terms and conditions, and not ours, apply to their collection and use of your information. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Digital Property or take advantage of advertised offers, links or other references, many of which may direct you or your Internet browser to websites or web pages of another party. You should read their privacy statements and the terms and conditions that apply because we are not responsible for any of the terms or conditions, privacy practices, the content, functions, features, activities, and/or transactions you may engage in when you are not using our Digital Properties. If we use an operational service provider to serve advertising to you on our Digital Property or elsewhere on the Internet, the operational service provider may use information about your visits to our Digital Properties, or other websites around the Internet, in order to serve advertisements about products and services that may be of interest to you. This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.  In the course of serving interest-based ads, our operational service provider may use cookies and other technologies.
