Last updated August 20, 2017

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their “Personally identifiable information” (PII) is being used online. PII, as used in U.S. privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect, or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our Web site.

What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our site?

Very little. When visiting our Web site, we keep a record of the Internet Protocol (IP) address you used to access the site. For most Internet users these addresses cannot be used to identify a specific person. When ordering or registering on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information, or other details to help you with your experience.

Currently-enrolled PCI students receive individualized login credentials to access course materials. All access to course materials is moderated through those specific student accounts.

We collect information from you when you access our site, subscribe to a newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, register for an event, enroll in PCI courses, or enter information.

We may use the information we collect from you when you sign up for our newsletter, respond to a survey or marketing communication, surf the Web site, or use certain other site features in the following ways:

How do we protect visitor information?

Your personal information is stored on secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all access to the site is encrypted in transit via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information.

Any transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

Do we use ‘cookies’?

We do not use cookies for tracking purposes. The site does use cookies as part of managing access to course materials for currently-enrolled students. These cookies contain no personally-identifiable information.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Internet Explorer) settings.

Third Party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information with the following exceptions:

Third Party Links

We do not include or offer third party products or services on our Web site.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial Web sites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates Web sites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its Web site stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf.

According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:

Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page. Users are able to change their personal information by emailing us at info@thepci.org or calling us.

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?

We do not track site visitors, so Do Not Track signals have no bearing on use of the Web site.

Does our site allow third party behavioral tracking?

Some areas of our Web site include social media elements that could identify signed-in members of a social networks to those social networks as they visit our Web site. We have no control over how those social networking services utilize or protect the personal information of their members, or monitor their online activity. Please refer to their privacy policies for how they may use members’ information.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of Web sites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under 13.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

To be in accordance with CANSPAM we agree to the following:

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can follow the instructions at the bottom of each email. We will promptly remove you from all correspondence.
