Privacy Policy

 

Introduction

This policy describes 3-C ISD's use of any personal information and cookies collected when you use 4researchers.

 

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small amount of data which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a web site's computer and stored on your computer. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser typically only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Many sites set cookies in order to track online traffic flows or to record information about your online preferences.

 

Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. Some services, such as taking a CE course, require users to allow cookies. Services that require cookies will require them to persist only during the current browser session, and will always be set and retrieved from the same site. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

How is Information Gathered by Cookies Used?

3-C uses cookies for several purposes:

 

• Accumulating and reporting anonymous, aggregate statistical information on site usage. No personally identifiable information is used in site reports.
• Session management for features such as CE courses and online purchases. These cookies are used to keep track of users during a browser session, and are discarded when the user closes their browser. These cookies are essential for services that require them.
• Convenience features such as remembering user login between site visits. These cookies are kept on the user's hard drive between site visits. These cookies can be blocked without loss of essential functionality.

 

Use and Storage of Personal Information

3-C takes your privacy seriously. Personally identifiable information is collected on 4researchers only when it is required to fulfill a task or service, such as awarding CE credit or making an online purchase. 3-C may divulge your personally information under the following circumstances:

 

• You have explicitly elected to allow us to share this information, typically at the time that the information was collected.
• We are required to divulge the information as part of a legal action.
• We believe that your actions violate applicable laws, this site's terms of use agreement, or the rights of 3-C ISD or other users.

 

Changes to the Privacy Policy

Modifications to the privacy policy will be reflected in the text of this page. If 3-C materially changes the method by which it uses collected information, already collected information will be handled using the privacy policy in force when it was collected, unless explicitly waived by the user.
