Palmer Consulting Group, Inc. (PGMA) respects the privacy of our users. We have created this policy in order to demonstrate our privacy commitment to our users. By coming to a PGMA site, you are agreeing to and accepting this Privacy Policy as well as the terms and conditions or other end user agreement for that site.
- We will not distribute information that identifies you
individually or reveals your identity ("Identifying
Information") unless you give your prior approval in
response to a request made by PGMA or
unless distribution of this information is permitted
under this Privacy Policy. Your electronic approval
will qualify as your consent for this purpose.
- We will not make Identifying Information available
publicly without the prior written or electronic
consent of the individual identified unless (a) the
information is already publicly available; (b) required
by law, court order, or as requested by other
government or law enforcement authority; or (c) the
information is posted by the user to an online
bulletin board, chat room, news groups, or other
public forum.
- We may collect and use information about you and
your use of the PGMA sites, including
Identifying Information, for our own internal purposes
such as, for example, analyzing usage of the
PGMA sites in order to improve them.
- We may use and/or distribute information about you
and your use of the PGMA sites in forms that
do not identify you individually or reveal your
identity.
- Advertisements, promotional offers, promotional
e-mails, "free gifts," and links, for example, on the
PGMA sites or sent via e-mail or other means
from PGMA may ask for Identifying Information
from you. If you provide this information, your
Identifying Information may be provided (either
directly from you or by PGMA) to the advertiser
or web site or company making the offer or
providing the gift. You may opt-out regarding how
Identifying Information collected from you may be
used or distributed when provided to PGMA at
an PGMA site by either following the applicable
instructions and links on the site, in the e-mail or
other document, or by sending an e-mail to the
PGMA site Web Master at the e-mail address
at the end of this policy or otherwise posted on the
PGMA sites. To ensure that your opt-out e-mail
is effective, you must include the words "opt-out"
and "Identifying Information" in the subject field of
such e-mail.
- Of course, if you make a purchase by credit card or
otherwise provide your credit card information, the
relevant data will be transmitted to PGMA's
vendor providing such payment processing service.
Similarly, if you are using a co-branded site of
PGMA and at least one other third party
(indicated by the inclusion of another party's name
or product/service name either in the URL or site or
by the inclusion of a third party's(ies') logos or
trademarks in the site), your Identifying Information
may be used and/or distributed by PGMA
pursuant to this Privacy Policy and by the other
party(ies) pursuant to this Policy and/or their
applicable policy(ies).
- PGMA may send users, via e-mail or other
means, information relating to PGMA sites
and/or information on specials, new products and/or
promotions from our marketing partners/colleagues.
The information described in these messages is
intended to be of high interest or value to our users.
To choose not to receive such messages, a user
can simply click or go to a URL link located in
every e-mail or other message containing this kind
of information, which will remove the user from
future mailings. Or, for certain sites a user may edit
his/her personal account information, which
contains an option on receiving special offers, at
any time by clicking the appropriate link on the
applicable PGMA site.
- In the course of our business, PGMA might buy
or sell sites or assets. In these kinds of
transactions, customer information (such as
Identifying Information) is usually one of the
transferred business assets. In the event that
PGMA, its parent, subsidiaries, or affiliates is
acquired, merged, or otherwise combined with
another party, customer information (such as
Identifying Information) will be one of the transferred
assets.
- PGMA may use other companies and persons
to perform certain functions for us. These functions
might include, for example, processing credit card
payments, providing customer service, and sending
e-mail. These other companies and persons may
have access to customer information (such as
Identifying Information) that's needed to perform
their functions, but they are not authorized to use it
for any other purposes. In addition, we may share
information with other affiliated companies and joint
ventures, for example, but we ask those companies
to honor the standards of this Privacy Policy.
In order to provide our users with a more complete understanding of
how the PGMA sites collect and use information from our users,
we have provided the following information:
Internet Protocol (IP) Address
The PGMA sites log IP addresses for systems administration,
diagnostic, and site tracking purposes, and to report aggregate
information to advertisers. The PGMA sites do not link IP
addresses to information identifying users individually, unless active participation by the user is involved with the site.
Cookies
The PGMA sites use files called "cookies" to store user names,
passwords, and other user preferences so that users don't have to
re-enter this information each time they use a particular PGMA
site. Users can remove the PGMA site cookie information from
their cookie files each time they log out of the sites (without
removing the cookie information from other web sites that may be
stored there) by clicking on the applicable "log out" link on the
PGMA sites screens. In addition, you should be aware that
advertisers serving ads on the PGMA sites may use their own
cookies.
Information Collection and Opt-Out
The PGMA sites' registration forms ask users to enter contact
information (like their e-mail address), general information (like their
city, state), and demographic information (like their zip code, age, or
income level). The forms also require unique identifiers (user name
and password) so that users can be verified when they access the
PGMA sites. The contact information primarily is used to send
users e-mails and other information they have requested and
other information as stated in this Privacy Policy. Users may opt out
of receiving future e-mail updates by clicking on or going to the
applicable link in any e-mail or other document and following the
instructions, or by going to the applicable site's home page and
clicking on the applicable "Personalize" link and un-checking the
box indicating your wish to receive e-mail updates. The demographic
information is used among other things, to tailor users' experiences
at the PGMA sites, distribute and show you content that we
think you might be interested in, and display site content according
to your preferences.
In addition, advertisers or web sites that have links on the
PGMA sites may collect personally identifiable information
about you. The privacy and information practices of those advertisers
or web sites linked to the PGMA sites are not covered by this
Privacy Policy.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is subject to modification from time to time. You
may be notified: (1) in an e-mail sent to the e-mail address you have
provided to PGMA through the PGMA sites, or (2)
PGMA's posting of a notice for at least 30 days on this web site
or the applicable PGMA site that the PGMA sites Privacy
Policy has been changed. Should you wish to opt-out of such
modifications to the Privacy Policy, you may do so by either
following the applicable instructions and links on the site or e-mail or
sending an e-mail to the PGMA sites Web Master at the e-mail
address below, making sure to include the words "opt-out" and
"modification" in the subject field.
