Quality Professionals' Resource
Center (further QPRC) is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology
that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy
applies to the QPRC Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the
QPRC website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
QPRC collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address,
name, home or work address or telephone number. QPRC also collects anonymous demographic
information, which is not unique to you, such as your Postal code, age, gender,
preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically
collected by QPRC. This information can include: your IP address, browser type,
domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is
used by QPRC for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service,
and to provide general statistics regarding use of the QPRC Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information
or personally sensitive data through QPRC public message boards, this information
may be collected and used by others. Note: QPRC does not read any of your private
online communications.
QPRC encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to
link to from QPRC so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and
share your information. QPRC is not responsible for the privacy statements or other
content on Web sites outside of the QPRC and QPRC family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
QPRC collects and uses your personal information to operate the QPRC Web site and
deliver the services you have requested. QPRC also uses your personally identifiable
information to inform you of other products or services available from QPRC and
its affiliates. QPRC may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about
your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
QPRC does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. QPRC may,
from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular
offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally
identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred
to the third party. In addition, QPRC may share data with trusted partners to help
us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer
support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using
your personal information except to provide these services to QPRC, and they are
required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
QPRC does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion,
or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
QPRC keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within QPRC, in
order to determine what QPRC services are the most popular. This data is used to
deliver customized content and advertising within QPRC to customers whose behavior
indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
QPRC Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if
required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary
to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on
QPRC or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of QPRC; and, (c)
act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of QPRC,
or the public.
Use of Cookies
The QPRC Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience.
A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are
uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that
issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save
you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned
to a specific page. For example, if you personalize QPRC pages, or register with
QPRC site or services, a cookie helps QPRC to recall your specific information on
subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information,
such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the
same QPRC Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so
you can easily use the QPRC features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience
the interactive features of the QPRC services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
QPRC secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
QPRC secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers
in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure.
Changes to this Statement
QPRC will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer
feedback. QPRC encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed
of how QPRC is protecting your information.
Contact Information
QPRC welcomes your comments regarding this Statement of Privacy. If you believe
that QPRC has not adhered to this Statement, please contact QPRC at info@cpd-ca.com. We will use commercially reasonable
efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.
