Privacy Policy
American Society for Training and Development, Greater Philadelphia Chapter (sometimes referred to as “ASTD-GPC,” ASTD-PHL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy discloses our information collection and dissemination practices.
Privacy Protections and Use of Information
We will not disclose or share personally identifiable information collected on our website with any third party (except as required by law or pursuant to a governmental request).
Aggregate Data
We may share reports with third parties based on aggregated data of our Members (”Aggregated Member Data”). Aggregated Member Data does not include any personally identifiable information. For example, these reports will not include your personal or organization name. Information about Members is aggregated for the purposes of determining successful event benchmarks and other similar activities.
Event Registration
When you register for an event, you have granted us permission to release the information you entered as an Invitee to the Planner.
Special Circumstances
We may disclose personal information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who is violating our Terms of Service or may be causing injury to or interference with other members or users or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities.
Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that some websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie may contain information like a user ID that allows the site to track which web pages you have visited. The only personal information a cookie contains is information you decide to supply. A cookie cannot read data from your hard drive or cookie files created by other websites. We use cookies to save your username so you do not have to retype each time; and to “time-out” your session if it is idle for a long period of time.
IP Addresses
We may use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers and administer our website.
eCommerce
If you are registering for a paid event as an Invitee, we may request payment information to conclude the transaction as well as your mailing address or other contact information to ensure authentication and proper delivery. We use industry-standard secure socket layer (SSL) encryption. We do not sell or rent your personal financial information.
When you engage in an eCommerce transaction on our site using a credit card, your credit card information, including the number and expiration date and your billing addresses, is passed onto the merchant with whom the transaction was placed; only Cvent, Inc. (our online planning software company) and the merchant with whom you placed the order has access to your credit card information, we do not. Your credit card information is stored with each order in the Cvent system just long enough to fully process your transaction. After the transaction has completed, your credit card information is removed from the Cvent system for security reasons.
You can decline to provide credit card information and any other information at our site and Cvent handled sites at anytime. If you should choose to withhold requested information; however, Cvent may not be able to provide you with the full spectrum of services.
