How Your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information is Used

Your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information is used to operate and improve the Web sites, services and offerings available through the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE; to personalize the content and advertisements provided to you; to fulfill your requests for products, programs, and services; to communicate with you and respond to your inquiries; to conduct research about your use of the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE; and to help offer you other products, programs, or services that may be of interest.

Your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information may be shared with the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE's affiliated providers. You have choices about how your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information is used, and whether affiliated providers receive personally identifiable information about you as an MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE user. Affiliated providers that receive your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information may use this information according to their applicable privacy policies.

Your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information will not be shared with third parties unless it is necessary to fulfill a transaction you have requested, in other circumstances in which you have consented to the sharing of your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information, or except as described in this Privacy Policy. The MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE may use your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information to present offers to you on behalf of business partners and advertisers. These business partners and advertisers receive aggregate data about groups of MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE users, but do not receive information that personally identifies you.

If you use MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE communications tools to disclose information about yourself publicly (for example, in chat rooms or online message boards made available by the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE), other online users may obtain access to any information you provide. The contents of your online communications, as well as other information about you as an MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE user, may be accessed and disclosed in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena); in other circumstances in which MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE believes the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE is being used in the commission of a crime; when we have a good faith belief that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the safety of you or another person; or when necessary either to protect the rights or property of MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE, the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE or its affiliated providers, or for us to render the service you have requested.

The MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE may use agents and contractors in order to help operate the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE. If such agents and contractors have access to personally identifiable information, they are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE.

MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE does not share, rent, or trade PII with third parties for their promotional purposes.

In the event that ownership of the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE was to change as a result of a merger, acquisition or transfer to another company, your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information may be transferred. If such a transfer results in a material change in the use of your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information, the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE will provide notice about the choices you have to decline to permit such a transfer.

Your Choices About Your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE Information

The MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE provides you with access to your registration and any billing or shipping information; the ability to edit this information at the My Account area; and the ability to deactivate your registration with the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE. Additionally, some MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE services (MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE Search, for example) may offer you the ability to control what information is collected or used when you use these services.

You can make choices about how your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information may be used by the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE to provide marketing offers to you. In order to do so, please visit the My Account area and review your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE marketing preferences. These preferences do not apply to communications that are directly related to your registration with the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE, or the fulfillment of a specific transaction you have requested (for example, a service advisory from the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE, or an acknowledgment of a purchase order).

You may also choose whether the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE's affiliated providers receive personally identifiable MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information. This choice does not apply to the sharing of MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information necessary to provide you the basic functionality of the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE (for example, recognizing you as an authenticated user on affiliated providers' Web sites or services). Because the choices you make in connection with your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information may not take effect immediately, it is possible you may receive a communication during the period in which your request is being processed.

Cookies and Web Beacons

The MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies in combination with your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information to enhance and personalize your experience on the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE, including to operate and improve offerings through the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE; to help authenticate you when you use the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE; to remember your preferences and registration information; to enable a shopping cart; to present and help measure and research the effectiveness of MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE offerings, advertisements, and e-mail communications (by determining which MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE e-mails you open and act upon); and to customize the content and advertisements provided to you through the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE. We have no access to or control over these cookies. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE on its Web site only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

The MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE and its advertisers may also use ad network providers, including MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE subsidiaries such as Advertising.com and TACODA, to help present advertisements on the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE and other Web sites. These ad network providers use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies on your computer to help present, better target, and measure the effectiveness of their advertisements, using data gathered over time and across their networks of Web pages to determine or predict the characteristics and preferences of their audience. The MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE may share certain non-personally identifiable information about you as a MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE user (such as user age and zip code) with certain ad network providers, including Advertising.com and TACODA, to help them deliver more relevant advertisements through their ad networks. The use of cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies by Advertising.com, TACODA, and other ad network providers is subject to their own privacy policies, not the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE's.

We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.

Our Commitment to Security

The MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE has established safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access to or misuse of your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information, but cannot guarantee that your personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy (for example, as a result of unauthorized acts by third parties that violate applicable law or the policies of the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE and its affiliated providers). To protect your privacy and security, the MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE uses passwords to help verify your identity before granting access or making corrections to any of your MEETINGS COLLABORATIVE information.

The security of your personal information is important to us. If you are, at any time in the future required to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) on our registration or order forms, we will encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
