American Glass Research (“Company”) respects the privacy concerns of the users of its Website and it’s training services platform provided therein (“Sites” and “Services”). Company thus provides this privacy statement to explain what information is gathered during a visit to Sites and how such information may be used.
USE OF INFORMATION
As a general policy, no personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, is automatically collected from your visit to Sites. However, certain non-personal information is recorded by the standard operation of Company’s internet servers. Information such as the type of browser being used, its operating system, and your IP address is gathered in order to enhance your online experience.
Sites’ various registration forms, purchasing paths, mailing lists, downloads, special offers and surveys may request that you provide contact information such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, demographic information, and/or personal preference information. When you provide this information, you imply consent to its use as necessary for Company legitimate business interests, including without limitation the improvement of Company Products, Services, contents of Sites, emails about registrations, various course content, changes to the courses, your course progress, or other related Services.
SECURITY & PROTECTION
Security for all personally identifiable information is extremely important to Company. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to attempt to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access and improper use, on-line or off-line. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.[DB1] [DB2] We continually review all security measures and update them when appropriate. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Company cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit via the internet. By transmitting any such information to Company, you accept that you do so at your own risk.
You may not purchase any Service from Company unless you are of minimum Legal Age, or older.
Personal information is never sold or leased to any third parties.
OBLIGATORY DISCLOSURE
Company may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference, either intentionally or unintentionally, with Company’s rights or property, other users of Sites, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Company may also be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including the obligation to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
THIRD PARTY SERVICES
Company may also share such information with Company business and promotional partners. In general, the third-party providers used by Company will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform Services they provide to Company.
Once you leave Company Sites, or are redirected to an unauthorized third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or Company’s Terms of Service.
CREDIT CARD INFORMATION
A third-party service provider such as a payment gateway or other payment transaction processors may be used. For these providers, Company recommends that you read their Privacy Policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled. When using authorized payment processors, payments are encrypted and adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council.
Company does not store any credit card information it may receive in regard to a specific transaction and/or billing arrangement, except as necessary to complete and satisfy its rights and obligations with regard to such transaction, billing arrangement, and/or other activities as authorized by the user supplying the information.
LINKS TO EXTERNAL SITES
Company is not responsible for the content or practices of third-party websites that may be linked to Sites. Company is also not responsible for any information that you might share with such linked websites.
TRANSFER OF INFORMATION ACROSS JURISDICTIONS
Company’s Sites and various information that may be collected are operated on servers located in various jurisdictions, including the United States. When you access or use Sites and/or Company Services, personal information about you may be transferred to other locations. Company’s policies ensure that such personal information is protected to the same standard when processed by any Company entity or office around the world and that appropriate contracts containing standard data protection clauses, approved to protect that information and the rights of individuals, are in place.
If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
BULLETIN BOARDS AND CHAT AREAS
Guests of Sites are solely responsible for the content of messages they post on Company’s forums, such as chat rooms and bulletin boards. Users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personal information in these areas, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other people. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these instances. Please take care when using these features.
