Information we collect
In conducting our business, we collect and retain certain personal information. In particular:
- We maintain an electronic mailing list for distribution of our newsletter and other such information;
- We hold contact and payment-related information for attendees at our courses;
- We maintain a database of contact information for current and potential future clients;
- We collect contact and work-environment-related information as part of our tCheck service; and
- We retain résumés for potential employees.
How we use this information
Mailing List: Names are normally only added to our mailing list following an explicit request to subscribe. In some cases we identify new names by other means, however in thesecases we will only send one mail out unless that person explicitly confirms that they wish to subscribe. This information is mostly used for distribution of our electronic newsletter, and other related information such as notification of upcoming events which we think might be of interest. We never release our email list to third parties. On rare occasions we will redistribute information originating from third parties which we think may be of interest, however when we do so it will clearly be identified as having been forwarded by us.
Information related to course attendance: Information is collected from course applicants. This information includes contact information, and in some cases credit card information. It is used solely for arranging and following up on course bookings, and for collecting payment. It is never released to third parties other than to the extent that is required for these purposes.
Contact information: We collect and maintain a database of contact information for current and future clients. This information is limited to contact information, employment position, and similar types of data. We do not collect "sensitive" information. We actively seek to correct this information whenever we identify errors.
tCheck responses: As part of our free tCheck service we request contact information and work-related information such as employer, job position, current projects, etc. This information is used solely for the purpose of processing the tCheck data, and is never released to third parties other than when conglomerated into summary form with no individual identifying data.
Résumés, etc: We are often provided with personal information such as résumés - either in response to job ads, or unsolicited. Even if we don't employ the applicant, we may retain this information in our files if we think we may be interested in employing them in the future. We never release such information to third parties without the individual's prior explicit permission.
