Our Commitment To Your Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our home page and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

This notice applies to all information collected from or submitted to the SafetyForum Websites. Other websites may operate under their own privacy notices. Our Website contains links to other websites operated by third parties. SafetyForum is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of such third-party websites.

The Information We Collect

Our Website is not set up to automatically collect personally-identifiable information from our visitors. It may recognize the home server of visitors, but not e-mail addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our Website. The server information is used only for internal purposes by our technical support staff.

Our Website may track certain non-personally-identifiable information about the visits to our Website. For example, we compile aggregate statistics that show the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Website and its individual pages. These aggregated statistics are used internally to improve our Website and for product development and marketing purposes generally. The aggregated non-personal statistics may also be provided to advertisers and other third parties for certain purposes, but again, the statistics contain no personally-identifiable information and cannot be used to gather such information.

In a few areas on our Website, we may ask you to provide personally-identifiable information that will enable us to verify whether you are entitled to access and use certain information, materials and services available from our Website; to enable us to enhance your site visit; to assist you with customer service or technical support issues; to follow up with you after your visit; or to otherwise support your relationship with SafetyForum. Your provision of this information and participation in the areas that require it is completely optional. You may decide not to provide the information and not to visit or access the areas that require it.

For example, we may request such information from you when you:

1. Log-on to certain areas of our Website that require your user name and password as a condition to gaining access to the information, materials or services in that area.

2. Register or sign-up to subscribe to a service.

3. Subscribe to a newsletter or ask to be added to our mailing lists for other products or services.

4. Place an order for a product or service.

5. Participate in a sweepstakes or other promotional offer.

6. Provide feedback in an online survey.

In each of the instances above, we typically ask for some or all of the following information: your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, the type of business you are in, product preference information, any applicable identification number or password that we may require, as well as other similar information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. On occasion, we may ask for additional information to enable us to provide you with access to and use of certain other information, materials and services. In the case of mailed materials, you will be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time.

How We Use Information

SafetyForum uses your personal information only for specific purposes. The personal information you provide to us when using our Website -- such as your name, postal or email address or telephone number -- will be kept confidential and used to support your relationship with SafetyForum. It also may be used to notify you of special offers, updated information and new products and services from SafetyForum, or offers from third parties that we think may be of interest to you. Agents or contractors of SafetyForum who are given access to your personal information will be required to keep the information confidential and not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for SafetyForum.

SafetyForum may merge your information collected at our Website with similar data from third parties for purposes of marketing products or services to you.

Unique circumstances may arise where we are required to disclose your personal information to third parties, such as in connection with a corporate divestiture or dissolution where all or a portion of our business or assets (including our associated customer lists containing your personal information) are sold, or if disclosure is required by law or is pertinent to judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings.

You can opt-out of receiving further marketing materials from SafetyForum at any time. We may send you information about our various products and services, or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. Only SafetyForum (or agents or contractors working on behalf of SafetyForum and under confidentiality agreements) are authorized to send you these direct mailings. If you do not want to receive such mailings, you can tell us when you give us your personal information. Or, at any time, contact us if you no longer wish to receive further materials from SafetyForum.

Public Forums

Our Website may make chat rooms, forums, message boards and other interactive features available to you. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas is not protected as confidential and becomes public information. You are solely responsible and should exercise caution when deciding to disclose any personal information in these areas.

Our Commitment To Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access to your personal information, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
