The (ISC)2 Phoenix Chapter("Chapter", "we", "us") cares about privacy and wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") (as defined below) about you that you provide us through http://isc2chapter-phoenix.org/ (the "Site"). Please note that this Privacy Policy governs only PII provided to Chapter. It does not govern our collection of information through any other website, or by any other means, other than through the Site.


BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS POLICY.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITE.


We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy without prior notice. You can determine when this Privacy Policy was last revised by referring to the "Last Updated" legend at the bottom of this page. Any changes to our Privacy Policy will become effective upon our posting of the revised Policy on the Site. Use of the Site following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy then in effect.


*Note Regarding the Use of the Site by Children: The Site is not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen (13), and we request that such individuals do not provide Personally Identifiable Information through the Site.


EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY, CHAPTER WILL NOT SELL, RENT, LOAN OR OTHERWISE PROVIDE ANY PII ABOUT YOU TO ANY THIRD-PARTY ENTITY WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION.


I. What Types of Information Does Chapter Collect From Me?


Chapter gathers two basic types of information through the Site: PII and Non-PII. PII is information that identifies you as an individual. Non-PII is aggregated information, demographic information such as date of birth, IP addresses and any other information that does not reveal your specific identity.


a) PII. In order for you to take advantage of particular opportunities provided through the Site, we may require that you furnish PII, such as your name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card information and user name. If you would prefer that we not collect any PII from you, please do not provide us with any such information. When you submit PII on the Site, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of PII about you as set forth in this Privacy Policy.


b) Non-PII. When you visit and interact with the Site and third parties with whom Chapter has contracted to provide services to Chapter may collect Non-PII (for example, a catalog of the Site pages you visit). Non-PII is generally collected from four different sources: server log files, environmental variables, cookies and information that you voluntarily provide.

i. Server Log Files. Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the Site, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. We use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating Site usage levels, helping diagnose problems with the Site's servers, administering the Site, tracking traffic patterns, and gathering demographic information for aggregate use. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites.

ii. Environmental Variables. We and our service providers may also collect certain environmental variables, such as your MAC address, computer type (such as Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, OS version, Internet browser, and Internet browser version. These environmental variables are collected by most browsers, and can be used to optimize your experience on the Site.


iii. Cookies. We and our service providers may use "cookies" on the Site. Cookies are data that a web server transfers to an individual's computer for recordkeeping and other purposes. Cookies are an industry standard used by most websites, and can facilitate users' ongoing access to and use of a particular website. Cookies do not cause damage to your computer systems or files. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of a particular cookie, or cookies from a particular website, to your computer.

iv. Information That You Voluntarily Provide. From time to time we may also collect Non-PII (e.g., date of birth, your interests, geographic location, occupation, information regarding donations such as donor status and payment details etc.) when you voluntarily provide such information to us. Such information constitutes Non-PII because, unless combined with PII, it does not personally identify you or any other user.


Additionally, we may aggregate PII in a manner such that the end-product does not personally identify you or any other user of the Site, for example, by using PII to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular telephone area code. Such aggregate information is considered Non-PII for purposes of this Policy.

 

2. How is Information Collected on the Site Used?


a) Personally Identifiable Information. Chapter may use PII about you in the following ways:

i. Fulfillment of Requests. We use PII about you to fulfill any request you make at the time you provide the PII or to acknowledge your donation.


ii. Administrative Communications. From time to time, in our sole discretion, we may use PII about you to send to you important information regarding the Site, or changes to our terms, conditions and policies.
Because this information may be important to your use of the Site, you may not opt out of receiving such communications. iii. Other Communications. The PII you provide may be used by Chapter to create and deliver to you communications such as our newsletters, surveys or other messages containing event information. If you would prefer that we do not send such marketing messages to you, please see the "Opt-Out" section below.


iiii. Internal Business Purposes. We may use PII about you for our internal business purposes, such as data analysis, internal reports, audits and so forth.


v. Financial support: We may also use PII about you for the purpose of managing our various financial support programs.


iv. Processing Memberships/Event Registration:


Please note that, depending on your chosen method of payment, you may need to use a third-party payment service (a "Payment Service"). If you wish to make a payment and/or a donation through such a Payment Service. Any PII that you provide through the Payment Service Page will be collected by the Payment Service and not by us, and will be subject to the Payment Service's privacy policy, not this Policy. We have no control over, and shall not be responsible for, any Payment Service's use of information collected through its Payment Service Page.


PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY ONLY ADDRESSES PAYMENT INFORMATION THAT YOU GIVE TO US. THIS PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT ADDRESS THE COLLECTION AND USE OF PAYMENT INFORMATION THROUGH THE PAYMENT SERVICE PAGE OR THE PRIVACY OR INFORMATION PRACTICES OF THE PAYMENT SERVICE.


b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Because Non-PII does not personally identify you, we (including our affiliates) may use such information for any purpose. In addition, we reserve the right to share such Non-PII, which does not personally identify you, with third parties, for any purpose. In some instances, we may combine Non-PII with PII (such as combining your name with your geographic location). If we do combine any Non-PII with PII, the combined information will be treated by us as PII hereunder as long as it is so combined.

 

3. How is Personally Identifiable Information Collected through the Site Disclosed?


a) Third Party Service Providers. We work with third parties who provide services including but not limited to web site hosting, processing donations, data analysis and other services of an administrative nature. We reserve the right to share PII about you with these third parties solely for the purpose of enabling these third parties to provide such services (for example, if you choose to make a purchase through the Site, we may share your Payment Information or other PII with our third party service providers to fulfill your purchase, including, without limitation, to process your credit card or payment account number).


b) Assignment. We reserve the right to transfer any and all PII that we collect from users of the Site to a third party in the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of Chapter's assets.


c) Forums. Chapter and/or our third party service provider(s) may make available through the Site interactive services (including without limitation, message boards, blogs and wikis) to which you are able to post information and materials (each, a "Forum"). Please note that any information you disclose in a Forum becomes public information, and may be available to other visitors to the Site and to the general public. In addition, when you choose to submit PII when you register as a user to a Forum, certain PII, such as your name, may be available for other users to view when you make a posting to a Forum. Information regarding your activities in Forums is also available for view by other users.
For example, other users may be able to view a list of all postings you have made in all available Forums. We urge you to exercise discretion and caution when deciding to disclose PII about you, or any other information, in any Forum.


CHAPTER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE BY OTHERS OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU DISCLOSE IN FORUMS.

iv)To protect our operations or those of any affiliates;
v) To protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of the Chapter, its affiliates, you or others; and
