Personal information collected from Our Websites is always collected on a secure web server using 128-bit encryption.
Personal information is safeguarded on Owl Rocket's servers. Access to the personal information on Owl Rocket's servers is protected by the use of a security system, a firewall, passwords, and in some cases encryption.
An individual may be required to register on Our Websites to gain access to content. A registrant is normally required to supply non-personal information when creating his or her account, with the exception of a password. After registration, a small file (commonly called a "cookie") is created and stored on the registrant's computer to (a) maintain access to content and (b) facilitate the use of the Website through bypass of the sign-in process upon successive visits. The use of cookies is an industry standard and many websites use them.
A recipient may, at any time, opt out of receiving any of Our Email Newsletters or emails from Owl Rocket which inform about new products, services or information related to the industry by so indicating at the time that information is being given to Owl Rocket, or thereafter, by following the simple steps stated in any such Owl Rocket email received.
An individual may also deny permission or opt out of any previous permission given for Owl Rocket to share address information with carefully screened third-party organizations by so indicating at the time that information is being given to Owl Rocket, or by contacting Owl Rocket's privacy officer (at the address shown above).
Owl Rocket will from time to time on its own initiative, or immediately upon an individual's request, rectify or erase any incomplete, inaccurate or outdated personal information retained by Owl Rocket.
Information that is no longer being used for the reasons stated upon collection is deleted from our databases after five years.
Non-personal information is collected from Our Websites in the form of web logs. The web logs are used to analyze anonymous behavior on Our Websites for the purposes of improving Owl Rocket's products and services. On occasion aggregate statistics will be provided to reputable third-party companies, but these statistics will contain no personally identifiable information.
If you do not agree with this privacy policy, please do not use or subscribe to Our Websites, Our Publications or Our Email Newsletters.
